Judith Sheldon (84), kći filmaša Willama Wylera , i njezin suprug Wylie Sheldon (86) pronađeni su mrtvi u upaljenom automobilu u ponedjeljak navečer, kako su priopćili iz kalifornijske prometne patrole.

Supružnici su pronađeni u crvenom Jeepu Compassu zaustavljenom na bankini Međudržavne ceste 5 u blizini grada Reddinga. Na mjesto događaja stigla je hitna pomoć koja im je pružila medicinsku pomoć, ali par nije reagirao te je proglašen mrtvim na mjestu događaja. Judith je bila na vozačevu mjestu, dok je Wylie bio na suvozačevu.

Vlasti još uvijek istražuju uzrok smrti, ali je San Francisco Chronicle izvijestio da je smrt medicinski povezana.

Supružnici su posljednjih godina prisustvovali umjetničkim događajima diljem San Francisca, uključujući događaje San Francisco Performances 2016. i 2022. godine. Sheldon je bila suvoditeljica njihove 43. gala večeri, a bila je i predsjednica odbora Festivala nijemog filma u San Franciscu.

"Potreseni smo ovom viješću. Judy i Wylie bili su nam jako dragi, podržavajući i pozitivno prisutni na svim našim događajima", rekla je Anita Monga , umjetnička direktorica festivala.

Sheldon se 1950-ih godina pojavila u nekoliko televizijskih produkcija.

Judithin otac, William Wyler , poznat je po filmovima poput "Ben-Hur", "The Best Years of Our Lives" i "Wuthering Heights". Redatelj je imao najviše nominacija za Oscara u kategoriji najboljeg redatelja.
