Yes, the Rust production was cheap, and I know professional armorers balked at taking the job. But, IMO, I still believe what swayed them to hire her was her father. After all, what could be better than a cheap first-time lead armorer, so eager for the experience, you could throw in prop master too. But this cheap, eager armorer has a father who has done the job and his reputation in the industry is solid? The production company thought they scored a bargain.

The probably thought Gutierrez-Reed knew how to handle the job because her father - Thell Reed - had an excellent reputation as an armorer and assumed he taught her firsthand.

She was left out because - as C.Z. herself said - she never revealed everything about her private life. Which is indeed an understanding that when it came to talking with Truman Capote, Some things were better left unsaid.

At this rate, they'll soon have a singer do an entire set for the In Memoriam then flash a sign with the names of the deceased when they're done. Updated: ABC has now included the original music/sound.
