R.I.P. Brittany Murphy 1977-2009

According to TMZ.COM, American  actress Brittany Murphy has died  of  cardiac arrest at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in  Los Angeles. Murphy was only 32. TMZ reports that Murphy’s mother found her unconscious in the shower. I remember Murphy when  she appeared on the 1992 NBC sitcom the Torkelsons.  Murphy’s first hit film was the 1995 teen comedy Clueless after that she worked steadily in Hollywood in films 8 mile and Just Married.

She was a comedic actress  but she did appear in dramatic films such as Girl Interrupted, Don’t Say A Word,  Sin City, &  The Dead Girl. It is very sad when a young person dies.

Recently, Murphy’s career was on a downward spiral, she was  fired from a film “the Caller”. Canadian actress  Rachelle Lefevre replaced her in the film. According to media reports ,Murphy was difficult on the set and her husband Simon Monjack was hospitalized.

Murphy wasn’t one of the best actresses of her generation such as  Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie,  or Maggie Gyllenhaal but  she certainly will be missed.

    I remember watching her on way back (1994-1995) on Boy Meets world she had short black hair and her character in the series (Trini) was a weird alternative rocker looking type that was funny zany off the wall and always chewing gum lol. She was not as big a star as those actresses. However she did more for me with just her eyes (like jada) than angie could do in a whole movie. Her face just beamed life and those eyes, magnetic . She would’ve made a great catwoman opposite christian bale. Love you baby, Rest in Peace Beautiful.
