The Ukraine-based relatives of a slain cinematographer are seeking damages for her death from actor Alec Baldwin in connection with the fatal shooting on the set of a Western movie, under a civil lawsuit filed in the United States.
The new lawsuit against Baldwin was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday, on behalf of the parents of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins as well as her younger sister. She works as a nurse in Ukraine on the outskirts of the capital city Kyiv, while her Ukrainian husband is fighting with the country’s army in its defence against Russian forces that invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
