Rosefelt on Shelly
"I've been in this business a long time, and Adrienne Shelly's Waitress could have come to the festival, gotten a standing ovation and remained unsold. And to sell to Searchlight! She hit the jackpot! I tried to explain how great this was to her mother, Elaine, but even while I was talking we both started crying. But [producer] Michael Roiff and I are sure that Adrienne can still hear the laughter somehow and is happy.
"As someone said at her memorial service, Adrienne's life may have been cut short, but she sure left her mark." -- from Reid Rosefelt's tribute to the late actress-director, on zoomin.com.

And who can't imagine that conversation:
"...And I told her, I said,'Elaine, do you have any idea how great it was that Adrienne got killed at just the right time? Wha-? Whaddaya cryin' for?!'"

I think the movie would have sold anyway...it's very funny and endearing, though it's a shame that Shelly wasn't alive to see how much people enjoy it.

I wish I believed that "Adrienne can still hear the laughter somehow and is happy."
But I don't.
I hope this... person who did this some day understands what he did. Not likely. That's my opinion. "Every soul has a shot at redemption." Maybe so. I don't know. But that's not how I feel today.
