1977-2009
This news actually comes as a big shocker to me (and not just because my mom heard about something before me), but actress Brittany Murphy, known best as the goofy friend in the classic movie CLUELESS was found unconscious in the shower by her mother 8:00 am PST Sunday morning. She was taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center and pronounced dead at 10:04 am PST from cardiac arrest after several attempts to revive her failed. She was only 32 years old.
Over the years the actress was linked in the media with an eating disorder when her weight plummeted during the period that she was making movies like JUST MARRIED and UPTOWN GIRLS. In 2007 she married the director of her movie WHITE HOTEL amongst rumours that he was a potential felon.
Past boyfriend and JUST MARRIED co-star Ashton Kutcher tweeted on his Twitter account, "see you on the other side kid ... 2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon."
This makes me stunned and saddened. Above everything that people had to say about her, I always considered Murphy to be a very good actress, including watching her most recently in DEADLINE. She also voiced one of my favorite cartoon characters, Luanne Platter, on "King of the Hill," a show that I didn't like unless it focused on her upbeat ditzy blonde animated version. My heart plummets just a little bit more as 2009 continues its deadly wrath throughout the Hollywood community. I can honestly say that I will miss her presence in film.
