Jeff Baena died at home in Los Angeles last week at the age of 47. Baena died by suicide on Friday (3 January) in his Los Angeles home near the Hollywood Hills and Los Feliz areas, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. A joint statement from Aubrey Plaza and the Baena / Stern family shared with The Independent reads: “This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”.
Among his other credits were the films Life After Beth (2014), The Little Hours (2017) and the Netflix movie Horse Girl (2020). He and Plaza began dating in 2011 and married 10 years later. After joking that they could get married to celebrate, Plaza found a website called “OneHourMarriage.com” and asked if the officiant could come to their home.
Baena then went to get a food delivery while Plaza went over the road to her neighbor, Dandelion – a practicing witch – to ask if she could do a spell for her. “She went into her house, rummaged around, came out with a rosemary wreath… and I created a very quick love altar in my yard,” Plaza recalled.
“And then the man from [the marriage website] showed up in a Hawaiian shirt with a briefcase. I can’t remember a lot of it, it was fuzzy. But I’m pretty sure it’s legal.”. Plaza starred in Baena’s horror-comedy film Life After Beth, which was nominated for Sundance’s Grand Jury Prize.
