Los Angeles: It’s a sad day in Hollywood. Jeff Baena, the talented filmmaker and husband of Aubrey Plaza, has passed away at just 47. The news was confirmed by the coroner, and it’s really hitting hard for fans and friends alike.
He died at home on Friday, and they’re looking into what happened. Baena was known for his work on films like Life After Beth and The Little Hours, which he made with Plaza. They tied the knot in 2021 after being together for over ten years.
He also directed the thriller Horse Girl, starring Alison Brie, and was behind the comedy I Heart Huckabees, which had a star-studded cast. Baena even created the anthology series Cinema Toast, where Plaza directed an episode.
