Chelsea Taylor and Jake Gyllenhaal spent an hour observing two dead bodies.
Taylor, a 2013 UCLA alumna, plays the friend of Gyllenhaal’s fictional deceased daughter in the film “Nocturnal Animals.” In the film, his character’s fictional wife and daughter are brutally murdered by bandits; Taylor’s principal moment comes with observing the actor as he grieves the death of his family members.
Alumna Donna Deitch said it takes a powerful, creative force to stand up to injustice.
Deitch attended the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television in the 1970s and identifies as lesbian.

Geeta Malik, an Indian-American Colorado native, grew up watching large-scale Bollywood musical numbers with her mother.
