Argento’s friend Rose McGowan claims that the Italian actress is currently filming in a statement released on Monday. “As I watch Asia do her job on set today, I see a pillar of strength who continues to work to put food on her children’s table,” McGowan wrote in theopen letter. “I see Elizabeth Taylor carrying on filmingCat on a Hot Tin Roofdespite her love, her husband, dying in a plane crash. I see all of us who have carried on. Please join me in sending healing energy to Anthony on his journey, and to all who’ve been left behind to journey on without him. There is no one to blame but the stigma of loneliness, the stigma of asking for help, the stigma of mental illness, the stigma of being famous and hurting.”

Thebeloved cheftalked highly of Argento and often relied on her advice during their creative projects.
“She’s been in the circus since she was nine. She knows so much more about so many of the things that are important to me: music, books, film, the technical aspects of film, and just the weird state of celebrity, being somebody that people come up to,” Bourdaintold PEOPLE in February.“That’s something she’s dealt with a lot longer than me. I was 44 before that started happening, whereas it’s been like that for her since she was a kid.”
