The 32-year-old actress' body was found Oct. 16 in a ravine outside Seattle, Wash., 11 days after she went missing. Upham died of blunt force trauma to the head and torso, but her family doesn't believe she committed suicide. A Native-American from the Blackfoot tribe, Upham broke through in the 2008 film Frozen River opposite Melissa Leo, for which she earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination. She played housekeeper Johanna in August: Osage County, sharing a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination with the cast, which included Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. Her final film Cake, which also stars Jennifer Aniston, Anna Kendrick and Chris Messina, will be released posthumously.
