Svetlana Androsovych, who happens to be the sister of the late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, has spoken out following her sister’s tragic death at the hands of Alec Baldwin’s prop gun incident on the set of the film ‘Rust.’
Halyna Hutchins Sister Speaks Out Following Her Death On The Set Of ‘Rust’
Halyna’s life ended before her time in the most painful of circumstances, as a miscommunication on the set led Alec to believe that the prop gun was unloaded.
However, it was anything but the case which also resulted in director Joel Souza suffering an injury. And given that Halyna was known for being so talented, the news was very hard for Svetlana to take.
In an interview with the Kyiv Post, Svetlana said: “I cannot comprehend [her passing]. I loved her very much; I was very proud of her, and she was my role model.
“We were always close and remained in touch, despite the distance.” The loss of her life has had huge repercussions for her family unit.
Halyna was from Ukraine, and therefore when the news broke, her parents were horrified given that they could not be within the presence of their daughter. In addition, she left behind a husband and son (Andros) who will dearly miss her.
Svetlana added: “Her marriage and relationship with her husband is an example to follow – no quarrels or scandals. It was real love, their beautiful son, is proof of that, we call him ‘wunderkind’ – a brilliant and capable boy.”
In response, Halyna’s father, Anatoly Androsovych, wants to make sure that he and Svetlana are there for Andros, who has been left in mourning. Much in the same way, Anatoly has avoided getting involved in the legal process.
Instead, he wants to allow Halyna’s husband the right to decide whether he wants to pursue charges. On current reflection, it is probably wise that the family draw together in order to look after Andros.Â
Halyna may no longer be here, but the best thing that everyone can do is make sure that she is honoured. And one way that could be done is to ensure that this film is done to the best of its ability. After all, that is what Halyna would have wanted.Â
