About Ronni Chasen
Ronni Sue Chasen (October 17, 1946 – November 16, 2010) was an American publicist, who once represented such actors as Michael Douglas, as well as musicians such as Hans Zimmer and Mark Isham, among others. Chasen directed the Academy Award campaigns for more than 100 films during her career, including Driving Miss Daisy in 1989 and The Hurt Locker in 2009. Chasen was shot and killed on November 16, 2010, while driving home from the premiere of the film Burlesque. Police initially suspected that that her death was the result of a contract killing by an expert marksman but later concluded that unemployed felon Harold Martin Smith killed Chasen during a random robbery.
