 Fox's Michelle Polino, a cinematographer, Helena Hutchins was killed on the Rust set in 2021. Disappointment for Costco members. The cost of a membership to the warehouse discounter is going up for the first time since 2017. Starting September 1st, the Gold Star membership increases by $5 to $65. The exclusive executive membership will rise $10 to $130 a year. The good news, though, the price of the hot dog meal is staying the same.
