saturn Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Brittany Murphy. One of my favorite movies she was in, besides Clueless, was a little known film called Spun. It's a totally drugged out movie with all kinds of cameos including Billy Corgan and Rob Halford. http://www.popeater.com/2009/12/20/brittany-murphy-dead/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Movie star Brittany Murphy is dead of a heart attack at 32. She went into full cardiac arrest early Sunday and could not be revived, the Website TMZ reported. The Los Angeles City Fire Department got a call from the home of Murphy's husband Simon Monjack about 8 a.m., fire officials told TMZ. She was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival Murphy starred in "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word." The starlet became a household name among teens in 1995 as the sidekick in "Clueless," who went from awkward wall flower to snotty hottie. A few years ago, she released the single "Faster Kill *****cat," which became a dance club hit. Her last big movie was "Sin City" in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I did not think I'd see a thread about her here. I loved LOVED her. She was an excellent singer and she also did the voice of Lu Ann in King of the Hill. Totally unpretentious work, never part of the young naughty celebrity "look at me" crowd. Here she is singing, in case you never heard her. She did backup vocals for various artists, but here she takes center stage: [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8sg77XSfqQ[/YOUTUBE] I know this music is not every one's cup, but I thought you might at least get a peek at what pipes the kid had. I'm sad today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duende Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It's very sad when anyone dies at a young age let alone an attractive talented girl like that... R.I.P. Do you know what? I don't think it matters if she was considered ugly, intellectually challenged and untalented; a life lost is a life lost to me. Edit-Dave; I didn't mean that to sound so holier than thou and horrid; RIP Britney I loved 8 Mile. I suppose I am trying to say that looks are an accident.

Mattxx [/quote'] Matt, on the one hand I sort of agree with this. Especially when it's an individual who hadn't the opportunity to live a full life, for whatever reason. It's too bad; sad perhaps. OTOH, and I don't mean this callously, nobody's getting out of here alive. It's sad for those left behind because they (we) haven't learned how to let go. But there are no guarantees when we come in this world other than the fact that our time here is very limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Why the drug reference? Was there a problem? I am sure her family's Christmas's will never be the same, and that the real tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I can see is because she's famous, so everyone assumes there's some sort of substance abuse. Young people can have heart attacks all on their own.

charlie brown Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Loved her acting! Especially..."Girl Interupted," "Don't Say A Word." Very natural, never overacted, and a lovely girl, too. I was shocked, at the news. I think she would have had a great career ahead of her. Very Sad! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nurse Izzy says: I fkd my heart up with RED BULLS, no lie I get palpitations when I drink them now. Shouldn't have done so many. When I run (not the pu$$y jogging thing, I mean RUN) I feel like my chest is gonna explode. I'm 30. People who run marathons also have heart attacks. One never knows. Drug abuse, even past abuse, is one of many possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 One theory is that she was a diabetic. I am sure that the pressure to stay thin probably meant she wasn't taking care of herself. Either way, it is sad whenever someone that young dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
