Jennifer Syme
Jennifer Maria Syme (December 7, 1972 – April 2, 2001) was an American actress, personal assistant, and record company executive. She appeared in the films Lost Highway (1997) and Ellie Parker (2005). The film Mulholland Drive (2001) was dedicated to her.
Syme was in a relationship with actor Keanu Reeves from 1998 until early 2000. Following the stillbirth of their daughter in December 1999, Syme struggled with depression. Syme died in an automobile collision at the age of 28 on April 2, 2001, shortly after she and Reeves had reunited.
Syme was born in Pico Rivera, California, and was raised in Laguna Beach. Her parents were Maria St. John and Charles Syme, a retired California highway patrol officer; they divorced some time after Syme was born.
When Syme was about to start high school, she and her mother moved to Los Angeles, where Syme developed a passion for moviemaking and especially for David Lynch's films. Actor and filmmaker Scott Coffey said that Syme was 16 years old when she walked into Lynch's office. "She was a huge fan and wanted to do anything on Twin Peaks", Coffey said. Syme landed a job at Lynch's company, Asymmetrical Productions, where she started as an intern and ended up working for five years. She introduced Lynch to many of the musicians he used in his projects, and according to Coffey, she had a huge influence on the music in the film Lost Highway (1997). Marilyn Manson mentioned Syme and how she helped him work with Lynch in his 1998 memoir The Long Hard Road Out of Hell.
Syme also did some acting, and Scott Coffey directed her in five independent short films. The last one, Ellie Parker, was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2001. Syme later joined the staff of a music label. She was also a personal assistant to guitarist Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction and, later, the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In 1997, Syme made her film debut in a small role credited as "junkie girl" in David Lynch's Lost Highway.
Syme had a small role credited as "casting chick" in Scott Coffey's film Ellie Parker, released in 2005, reprising the role she played in the 2001 short film of the same title.
At the time of her death in 2001, Syme had enrolled in a film-supervision course at UCLA, and was working as a record company executive.
