Eliza Hutton

Eliza Hutton is a gun safety advocate.[1][2]

Hutton first came to the public's attention as the fiance of actor Brandon Lee.[1][2] The pair were scheluded to wed a week after he completed shooting on The Crow, the film where he died in a tragic on-set failure of gun safety.

In late October 2021 there was another tragic failure of gun safety protocols on the set the Rust, that killed crew-member Haylna Hutchins.[1][2] Hutton came forward to call for increased efforts at gun safety.
