Marc Maron Cries at SXSW Sharing How Sharon Stone Helped Him Channel His Grief Over Lynn Shelton Into His Acting
At the SXSW premiere of "Are We Good?," about Marc Maron's life after the death of Lynn Shelton, the comic shared stories about Sharon Stone and Barbara Kopple.
The film, directed by Steven Feinartz, covers the full breadth of Maron’s career, from his start in the 1980s as a cocaine-fueled acolyte of stand-up Sam Kinison through the rapid success of his comedy podcast “WTF.” Death was understandably on Maron’s mind: The majority of “Are We Good?” focuses on how he’s processed his grief after his girlfriend, filmmaker Lynn Shelton, died suddenly of an undiagnosed blood disease in May 2020. In a more lighthearted exchange, when one man began his question by noting that he’d seen Maron do stand-up in a tiny club in Austin in 2011, the comedian immediately jumped in with a vivid recollection of that specific gig.
