CNN — Aubrey Plaza has shared her first statement since the death of her husband, writer and director Jeff Baena. “Tonight my heart is with Aubrey Plaza and Jeff’s family,” Corbet said. Plaza and Baena worked together on the 2014’s horror-comedy “Life After Beth” and the 2017 historical comedy “The Little Hours.” More recently, the couple collaborated on the 2021 comedy series “Cinema Toast,” and the 2022 film “Spin Me Round.” In a 2022 interview with Reel Talker, Baena reflected on working with Plaza, saying, “She’s awesome. “The opportunities to create together and do something creative where we’re both fulfilled, how rare is that.” Baena is also known for co-writing the acclaimed 2004 film “I Heart Huckabees” and 2020’s “Horse Girl,” as well as writing and directing the 2016 dramedy “Joshy.” Baena is survived by Plaza, his parents and stepparents, along with several siblings.
