Indignation mixed with confusion tore through the Hollywood community Sunday as insiders prepared to gather for the funeral of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen, gunned down last week on her way home from a movie premiere.
The ceremony was set to be held on Sunday, November 21 at the Hillside memorial park in Culver City. Members of the Hollywood publicity and entertainment journalism community, as well as Chasen’s many famous, Oscar-winning clients, were expected to be there in numbers.
So was the national media – though they were asked not to attend or to cover – as the story has taken on a sensational aura that has caught national
attention.
Those who knew Chasen, and they numbered in the hundreds, struggled with squaring the image of the woman they knew for decades as a dedicated, old-school publicist, with the target of what appeared to be a well-planned murder hit.
The police continued to say they had no leads into the shooting death, which took place on a quiet residential street in Beverly HIlls early on November 16.
