Legendary Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen was a veritable institution in the movie industry, representing everyone from filmmakers to producers and composers. She orchestrated the Oscar campaign for
Driving Miss Daisy, and was recently organizing Oscar pushes for
Alice in Wonderland and for actor Michael Douglas, who reprised his role as Gordon Gekko in the sequel
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. But in the early hours on Nov. 16, while driving home from the Hollywood premiere of the film
Burlesque, Chasen's Mercedes coupe was shot at five times and her body was found slumped over in her car. The murder has many in Hollywood
scratching their heads and sparked a
massive police hunt, with some sources
claiming it was a planned hit. Adding to the mystery, the leading suspect in the murder reportedly
committed suicide, according to The Daily Beast.
