Shannon, who starred in Baena’s films “The Little Hours” and “Life After Beth” alongside his wife, Aubrey Plaza, highlighted the enduring friendship among the trio built over the years. She also appeared in his 2020 film “Horse Girl,” further showcasing their close professional and personal connection.
Earlier, authorities responded to a Los Angeles-area residence on Friday around 10:30 AM after an assistant discovered Jeff Baena’s body. He was pronounced dead at the scene, with law enforcement sources confirming that his death was ruled a suicide.
