Brittany Murphy Dies - Page 2

It really is sad. I loved her role in Clueless and of course her work as a voice-over in King of the Hill (she did Luanne's voice). I wish she hadn't felt that she had to be so thin because she was already a beautiful person to begin with.

Although I very much enjoy Clueless (and Murphy in it), her best film and best performance BY FAR is Alan Rudolph's Trixie.

This is very sad indeed.

Very sad news.

She was such a lovely young woman.

This just made me think of Stevie -- and how strong she was to have recognized her problem and done something about it. I'm not saying Stevie is better than artists/celebrities who weren't able to live long enough to regain control of their lives, but I have to admit that these stories do make me impressed with her. Showbiz is a tough business. Really, also, it shows how vulnerable Stevie really was during her wilderness years. Stevie fans are lucky to have her.

Stevie's first trip to Betty Ford in 1986 was an intervention .She did however check herself in for the Klonopin addiction in 1993.

Something she casually skims over these days... or even flatly refuses to acknowledge. Stevie is just damned lucky to have survived. But I think she got the message... and that's why she's taken all these other younger singers under her wings. It's too bad her friendship with Courtney Love didn't sink in with Courtney.

^^It was reading the Klonopin reference, and realizing how Hollywood doctors exploit their patients, that made me think of Stevie.

I wasn't too familiar with her work, but it's very sad when anyone young dies.

Her husband has commented that drugs were not a factor. He & her mother are devastated. I hear she was very close to her mother. Very tragic; we'll just have to wait for the toxicology tests to come back.

I just hope that it wasn't another Anna Nicole Smith deal.

Of course they're gonna say that. Tragic, regardless... but i'm sure the autopsy will show drug involvement. I have a feeling she pulled a Heath Ledger.
