Jeff Baena, a filmmaker known for his work with Aubrey Plaza, passed away at his Los Angeles home.
Writer and director Jeff Baena , who was married to actress Aubrey Plaza , was found dead at his home in Los Angeles on Friday morning. Mr. Baena's body was discovered by an assistant and he was later pronounced dead at the scene, according to TMZ. Mr. Baena was born and raised in Miami before he studied at New York University Film School. He subsequently moved to Los Angeles and got his first big break working alongside filmmaker Robert Zemeckis. Mr.
Baena served as a production assistant for the 'Back to the Future' director, working with him on a number of film projects. He also got the opportunity to work with David O. Russell, the award-winning director, and the pair ultimately collaborated on four scripts. One of their scripts included 'I Heart Huckabees', the 2004 black comedy film that starred the likes of Dustin Hoffman, Isabelle Huppert and Jude Law. Mr. Baena made his directorial debut in 2014 with 'Life After Beth'. The filmmaker spent several years trying to get the zombie comedy film off the ground and it was Aubrey Plaza - Mr. Baena's future wife - who ultimately helped to get it made. The 40-year-old actress - who married Mr. Baena in 2020 - expressed an interest in playing the film's lead role and her involvement with the project proved to be crucial. The couple also worked together on the 2021 drama series 'Cinema Toast', which marked Aubrey's directorial debut and featured Christina Ricci and Alison Brie. Mr. Baena and the actress began dating in 2011, but they always made a concerted effort to keep their relationship private. However, Aubrey announced their marriage to the world via an Instagram post in 2021 when she referred to Mr. Baena as her 'darling husband'. She wrote at the time: 'So proud of my darling husband @jeffbaena for dreaming up another film that takes us to italia to cause some more trouble (sic)
