Director Adrienne Shelly on her inspiration

[ipekmorgan]

I am from Turkey and I watched waitress 5 years ago and "baby dont you cry" song was always in my mind.About 5 min. ago I remembered it again and wanted to listen it and I listened it joyfully. Then I saw the comments under the video that says "RIP Shelly" I was shocked cause I didnt know that she was gone.Then I saw that video and destroyed again. OMG Heaven is really under mother's feet. "It is a love letter to my baby " That last sentence made me cry ... RIP ...

[guitardedx69]

Just finished watching the film literally 20 minutes ago. I got a little teary eyed at the ending, and I'm getting a little teary eyed now.

RIP Adrienne Shelly <3

Wonderful talent. Waitress is one of my all time favorite films

[kodiakfred140]

"Waitress" is a great film. Saw it the first time a couple of days ago.

In the world we live in, sad and random acts of inhumanity seem always to taint the joy that creativity can bring.

[arbetaren1977]

so sad she´s gone.

[arbetaren1977]

so sad she,s gone.



[graemeoliver84]

What a beautiful woman. Such a waste.

[Zorg2006]

Hopefully when the killer is released, someone will kidnap him, hang him with a sheet and leave him to die like a trussed-up pig.

[charliespringer1]

Beautiful film, this clip makes me so sad. My heart goes out to her daughter (the cute toddler seen at the end of the film) who will never see her mum again :'(

[StuffedMannequin]

Poor woman. A love letter to her child. That makes me a bit sad.

[softballangel1234]

Shes my dads 1st cousin, It was so sad, the day after i went over her house where her mom lived and saw Elain aka mom and Jeffery aka one of the brothers and crying was everywhere it was so sad. I never met her...i was gonna but its really sad && i wish i was as sad as you guys are i only knew about her from waitress but im glad she got an award after :)

[freq32]

wow where have i been. i just learned about Adrienne Shelly and what happened to her. Unbelievable that someone could do something like that to such a nice beautiful woman. 25 years and he's out? No. No. No.

[angie55m]

I agree, I mean if he killed her just because she caught him on her own apartment stealing money out of her purse, how many more people has he killed or will killed. In 25 years his going to kill someone else.

[aoeaoae]

That film is so amazing, so humane, so precious.

R.I.P., pure soul.

[immagonnarockayoua]

This movie surprised me, which is quite an accomplishment considering how jaded I've become with the Hollywood system.

It gives every character a chance to be human, which is very big and very rare and very well done.

R.I.P.

[babsmacdonald]

Bravo!!! I LOVE this movie. Well done and written. It shows the power that women can prevail and take care of our own!!!

[Heathereeee]

Every time I see this movie, it brings me back to the first time I laid eyes on each of my children. 'Waitress' never fails to make me cry... I love this movie so much---Adrienne was a genius writer. I wish she could have done so much more...

[kittenshateyou]

Very sad.

[mariakai]

why did some sick, twisted bastard have to end her life?

It infuriates me how some people think they have the right to take another persons life.

NO ONE HAS THAT RIGHT! NO ONE!!!!!!

[MissBrendaSpencer]

@mariakai You don't say.....

[JaysonsMom]

My heart is completely broken to listen to her speak about her own child, and I now have an even greater respect and appreciation for this beautiful, touching movie. I'm so very sorry that she isn't around now... ugh! :(

[Utubelicks]

She was smart, talented, beautiful and I will miss her like hell!

[dyonker]

They should have hung that S.O.B

[mattrd08]

No. No they shouldn't have. He is a terrible, terrible person for taking such a kind, talented and beautiful woman away, but there is no justification for taking away a human life. Life in prison without parole? Hell yes. That's what he should have. But the death penalty just should not exist.

[dyonker]

I still say that is an injustice that such a beautiful human being was taken away and I was very intoxicated when I wrote my old post. I am a Prison Guard myself and yes, prison is a pretty depressing place, the food is not that great and the smell...its pretty bad,he'll suffer for his deeds either way

[ranchai100]

it is not human,no spic is.also why should my tax money go tofeeding and housing a murderer who should not have been in the country in the first place?Its bad enough that mexico expects the states to accept their criminals and not deport them because and I quote the mexican government,"sending them back will put undue strain on the mexican economy as they dont have the money to keep them in jail or house them or take care of their medical expences".These are their citizens not ours.problems thrs

[Kaliopy]

It breaks my heart. being a Mom, I can sit through this film 50 times. What a talented woman. So sad.

[JaysonsMom]

I couldn't have said it better. I love this movie and am shocked and horrified to learn what happened to Adrienne. :(

[ChocolateMilkIsTight]

she was bitchin in truth

[danigirl562]

I just saw Waitress for the first time yesterday. Great movie. Rest in Peace Ms Shelly

[caaliyah]

i just saw waitress last weekend and i loved this movie. i had no idea of what happened to her or who she was.

it's so sad she's gone...

[jhrunion]

it is difficult to comprehend that she is actually gone...

[robingrrl]

RIP, Ms. Shelly. You were so cruelly taken away from us. Your work is amazing and I thank you for it.

[bd8393]

wow.

this is really sad.

i feel bad for herr baby.

i hope she has a good life.

and realizes what a great person her

mom was (:

[mattrd08]

Wow, whitekid3, just wow. Not only is that the most tasteless comment I've ever seen on Youtube, the noise thing turned out to be a lie. She never bothered him at all. You're a bitch.

To Diego w/e his name is - GO ROT IN HELL, FUCKER!

Rest in peace, Adrienne Shelly. We will never forget you. You have been deeply missed and will be eternally.

[whitekid3]

maybe next time, she won't complain about the noise downstairs.

[Selenaatje]

How can anybody kill this beautiful human being. She was the mother of a little child. I hope that fucker will rot in jail. R.I.P. Adrienne.

[TrueMe08]

I love this movie!!!!

RIP. Adrienne

[nicola1505]

ahhh i wish she didnt die... rip hate murderes 8o|

[nicola1505]

i luv the name adrienne cause my names adrienne haha

( im using sisters youtube )

[barackobamaLIED]

RIP Adrienne Shelly

[kitzypoo]

i think sophie is very lucky to have had a mother like Adrienne Shelly. her mother loved her very much and she wrote this for her. i absolutely HATE the person who killed her. she was such a talented woman. i love the movie alot.

rip Adrienne Shelly

[creepmag62]

This is in no way a political view, I have no interest in politics whatsoever. Merely highlighting how criminals do indeed infiltrate society and leave their mark. Read my other comments on the movie trailer why don't you,you will see I'm completely normal.

[hannadawg]

A nobody took away the life of a talented young women, mother and wife. Just a lesson in life be careful when you confront someone, people snap and we lose someone special over something senseless. And don't send me any comments that the murderer was somebody, he was nothing!!!! He hopefully will suffer in prison for the sad, poor decision he made.

[guitarhero093]

she didnt have to die...why do we let these people in our country to give them freedom to kill? god bless adrienne her children her husband and her family..i.p. adrienne

[ElFrankus]

Apart from the great sadness i feel for Adriennes senseless death i just wanted to tell jdunn58,that Jeffrey Dahmer, SOn of Sam and others are homegrown killers, and if they werent spotted before, it was because they looked "normal" just like the "Imported scum killer". Unless you want to "mark" people somehow

[Shraddha01]

That's really stupid and misses the point. If we weren't so busy "enriching our culture" by letting people pour into the country the scumbag WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HERE and this SPECIFIC travesty WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. Liberals are so damn stupid.

[pmboston]

actually liberals are just more realistic. I love Adrienne Shelley's work, and I sincerely doubt if she would agree with you if she hadn't been murdered. If people were not allowed to pour into the country, she would not have been born. I wish it had never happened, and I hope her killer can be made to realize the enormity of his crime.

[Shraddha01]

oh my God - so dumb. So her parents were CRIMINALS who were here ILLEGALLY???

[pmboston]

I never said her parents were illegal or criminals. If you went back in time and removed the ass who killed her, who is to say someone just as bad might not have taken his place? As to your god, you can have him.

[Shraddha01]

these are just sad rationalizations - you can do all the "what ifs" you want. The FACT is that a specific ILLEGAL murdered her because he didn't want to be deported. THAT'S THE FACT OF WHAT HAPPENED. "Supposing" that other things MIGHT have happened is just ridiculous. The FACT is that if he wasn't here illegally he would not have killed her. It just wouldn't have happened! Your fantasies of some other situation where she might have gotten murdered by someone else are just insane.

[Shraddha01]

And you're the one who said if people weren't allowed to pour into the country, she wouldn't have been here. I'm talking about ILLEGAL CRIMINALS pouring into the country.

[hannadawg]

Amen

[MrHairyNutz]

i cant believe you called her a liberal LoL

Democrat + Republicans = nothing really changing on illegal immigration

[creepmag62]

I agree with you.I have been touched by the senseless and brutal murder of a young mother by an illegal here in England.She had the most wonderful children I have yet to meet. When these other "liberals" are also affected in this way I think they will change their views.

[thutton]

don't you dare use adrienne shelley's passing as a tool for your political views.

have some style and some tact.

[jdunn58]

Bad enough we have our own killers, no need to import more. We are all part of her murder for allowing her scum killer to enter and remain in the U.S.....strong words but true, if you do not like it..boo hoo

[TomCollinsgirl]

I just got to see the movie and wanted to cry to see her on the screen and know the true story. She was a wonderful person and will be missed soo much.

[tim13a]

Too much to bear. This remains one of the saddest moments in movie history. She leaves the world great inspiration.

[N3xphotos]

what a beautiful woman. it just saddens me that she's gone. a wonderful actress and a wonderful director.

[MarianaWeir]

Absolutely lovely, thank you!

[Luci98]

What a beautiful person Adrienne was.

[clownmonkey]

absolutely agree.
