The entertainment website Buzz Sugar named the movie Waitress the best female friendship flick of 2007. The movie depicts the friendships of three waitresses at Joe’s Diner played by Adrienne Shelly, Keri Russell, Cheryl Hines
The quirky movie was also written and directed by Shelly, who was brutally murdered before the film’s release. Many critics say it would have been her breakout film. Waitress was released on DVD on November 27th.
One legacy of her death is the Adrienne Shelly Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping female filmmakers and in loving memory to the uniquely gifted actress and filmmaker after whom it is named.
Film, theatre and television portrayals of female friendships help us better understand ourselves, our friends, and our relationships.
