“This is an unimaginable tragedy,” Plaza and Baena’s family said in a statement. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support.” Plaza, 40, and Baena began dating around 2011 and were frequent collaborators. Their first film together was Baena’s directorial debut, Life After Beth, in 2014, and he went on to direct Plaza in 2017’s The Little Hours and 2022’s Spin Me Round. Thou
