Adrienne Levine (June 24, 1966 – November 1, 2006), better known as Adrienne Shelley (occasionally credited as Adrienne Shelley), was an American actor, film producer, and screenwriter.
She became well-known for her roles in independent films, including 1989's The Unbelievable Truth and 1990's Trust.
Waitress, a 2007 posthumously released film, was written, co-starred, and directed. Shelly was discovered dead in the bathtub of her Greenwich Village work studio apartment on November 1, 2006.
The initial investigation of the scene revealed no suspicious findings, and police seemed to have suspected it to be a suicide.
Her husband argued she would not have taken her own life and ordered a re-examination of the bathroom that revealed a suspicious footprint.
Shelly was killed by a construction worker who admitted to murdering her and making it seem as if she had committed suicide. Shelly's husband established the Adrienne Shelly Foundation, which gives artist scholarships, production grants, finishing funds, and living stipends.
The Women Film Critics Circle honors a film that "most notably opposes violence against women" as a result of the film's recognition.
