Juliette Lewis Says Misty Upham 'Felt She Could Be Murdered'
Juliette Lewis is speaking out to remember her late August: Osage County co-star Misty Upham and to encourage authorities to investigate her death as a possible murder.
“Misty Upham survived many things that many don’t early on in life,” Juliette wrote in an Instagram post. “She fought for the voiceless fiercely. She understood suffering and the deepest pain. She had a presence everyone saw and felt. It is this presence that will continue. Out of the dark space in which her light got dimmed. I will remember her as tuff. Wise. Funny. Spiritual. And hopeful. This is another great reminder to call and check on someone when you think to. Not when its too late. RIPMistyUpham.”
Juliette later took to her Twitter account to voice her opinion on the investigation into Misty‘s death.
#RIPMistyUpham I am in shock and greif. I pray the police do a murder investigation. They're saying not "foul play" when ofcourse it is.
