'Rust' star Alec Baldwin won't see film after fatal legacy of Western movie 'traumatized' wife Hilaria
Fox News
Alec Baldwin admitted that the death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on set in October 2021 was the "most difficult thing" he has ever dealt with.
A New Mexico judge dismissed the case against the "30 Rock" actor in July following what legal experts described to Fox News Digital as a "comedy of legal errors" in the case. "Beyond the victims themselves, the thing that most pains me is what it did to my wife. My wife has been very, very traumatized from this. There has been a lot of pain." "We are trying to get the wind in our sails, to get away from this stuff. Because the film doesn't stand by itself. It’s always going to be overshadowed by this." "In order to finish the film – and this is the only thing I can say about it because I have another pending [civil] case – we traveled to Montana. All my doctors told me ‘don’t go’ – mental health practitioners, cardiologists. I mean, I was very sick afterwards for a while, physically drained and ill. But I went."

"This is obviously the most difficult thing I’ve ever dealt with in my life," Baldwin told Variety while in town for the Torino Film Festival in the northern Italian town of Turin. Baldwin, 66, skipped out on the movie's premiere last week at the Camerimage Festival in Poland.
