'I lit her up. She lit me up. And I loved talking to her. I loved everything about her,' said comedian Marc Maron of his partner, the filmmaker Lynn Shelton, who died Saturday at 54
"She was my partner. She was my girlfriend. She was my friend," he said. "I loved her a lot. And she loved me and I knew that."
Maron convinced Shelton to see a doctor when her fever wouldn't go down on Thursday. "We were gonna go to the doctor for blood tests on Friday and then in the middle of the night I heard her collapse in the hallway on her way to the bathroom and I got up and she was on the floor and she couldn't move," he said through tears. "She was conscious, but delirious a bit."
"She was an amazing woman. She was an inspiration to so many people. So many people loved her. She was a very determined artist," he said of Shelton. "Tremendous love for people. For her friends. For her son, Milo." "I needed to talk to her. I saw some of her movies. I wanted to talk to her. I was curious about her. I said, 'Okay, let's try it,'" Maron continued.
Maron then played the 2015 interview, which featured Shelton discussing her upbringing in Seattle, directing television, her independent films and more.
