The Hutchins family honors Halyna's legacy through legal actions, safety advocacy, and completing her final film, while Alec Baldwin faces ongoing scrutiny.

  • Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot on the set of 'Rust' in 2021 due to a live round discharged from a prop gun handled by Alec Baldwin.
  • Her family, including husband Matthew Hutchins and sister Svetlana Zemko, has pursued legal action against Baldwin and the film's producers, with civil lawsuits ongoing.
  • The Hulu documentary 'Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna' explores the tragedy and its aftermath, renewing attention on safety practices in the film industry.
  • Alec Baldwin faced multiple involuntary manslaughter charges, all of which were dismissed due to procedural issues and withheld evidence, preventing further criminal prosecution.
  • Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and is currently serving an 18-month prison sentence for her role in the incident.
