Wanted more diversity in Hollywood but shot it dead!
Baldwin, 63, is alleged to have "accidentally" shot and killed female cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, by a shot straight to the chest after a live ammo/ blank ammo mix-up on the film set of the Western "Rust," which Balwin was acting in and also producing.
The LA Times has claimed that normal safety procedures were not being followed on the set in an attempt to cut costs by the stingy producers:
Hours before actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer on the New Mexico set of “Rust” with a prop gun, a half-dozen camera crew workers walked off the set to protest working conditions. [...]
Safety protocols standard in the industry, including gun inspections, were not strictly followed on the “Rust” set near Santa Fe, the sources said. They said at least one of the camera operators complained last weekend to a production manager about gun safety on the set.[...]
Three crew members who were present at the Bonanza Creek Ranch set on Saturday said they were particularly concerned about two accidental prop gun discharges.
Baldwin’s stunt double accidentally fired two rounds Saturday after being told that the gun was “cold” — lingo for a weapon that doesn’t have any ammunition, including blanks — two crew members who witnessed the episode told the Los Angeles Times.
“There should have been an investigation into what happened,” a crew member said. “There were no safety meetings. There was no assurance that it wouldn’t happen again. All they wanted to do was rush, rush, rush.”
Despite being the producer and the actual "gunman" in this senseless and brutal slaying, Baldwin has now managed to resurrect his career by manifesting grief in the form of the small black teardrop, which he has vowed to wear on his face for a few days or until it fades away.
