Before she transitioned to producing, Shearmur was an executive at Paramount and Lionsgate studios. Prior to moving to Paramount, Shearmur was at Universal.
She worked on the “Jason Bourne” franchise, overseeing production of “The Bourne Supremacy” and “The Bourne Identity.”
Shearmur also had a softer touch, developing the “American Pie” series and the romantic comedy “Along Came Polly” as well as the Julia Roberts hit “Erin Brockovich.”
“Alli was a ferocious fighter who rose to the top of Hollywood, first as an executive and then as a producer, all while raising two amazing children, being an incredible mother. She was not only my producer. She was a great friend,” said fellow producer Doug Liman.
“I hope her legacy is an inspiration to women throughout Hollywood for many years to come.”
