So maybe I didn't know the full story of what happened when I discussed this in class Friday, but I wasn't too far from the truth.
Early Tuesday morning, November 16, Press Agent Ronni Chasen (left) was shot five times in the chest while driving, crashing her Mercedes-Benz into a pole. It is assumed she was on her way home from the premier of Burlesque in LA.
Bryan Alexander and Lindsay Powers of Hollywoodreporter.com report:
A Beverly Hills Police spokesperson tells THR: "On November 16th 2010 at approximately 12:28 a.m. Beverly Hills police officers received info regarding shots that were heard in the area of Sunset and Whittier, shortly after a collision was reported in the same area. Units arrived and discovered a newer black Mercedes Benz E-350 involved in a solo crash to the light pole. The lone female occupant was located in the vehicle with apparent multiple gunshot wounds to her chest. Beverly Hills paramedics transported the victim to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased. The investigation is in the preliminary stages and no further information is available at this time. At this time there is no suspect, info or motive for this crime."
In 1993 Chasen was named senior vice president of worldwide publicity at MGM. She also worked for Rogers & Cowans.

I was shocked when I saw this story covered for a few minutes on the 11 oclock news the other night.
It's a scary world out there...its darkness seeps through, even through the brightest stars of Hollywood.
