Actress Brittany Murphy Dies At The Young Age Of 32
Actress Brittany Murphy has died at the young age of 32. There has been speculation that Murphy, known for her roles as the punk-gone-popular girl in Clueless and with Eminem in 8 Mile, died of cardiac arrest, but it has not been confirmed by the L.A. Coroner.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said a 911 call was made at 8:00 a.m. from the Los Angeles home of Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack. She was pronounced dead on arrival at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center.
Brittany Murphy was born in Atlanta and started acting at age 9, and by age 13, she had signed with a manager and began appearing in television commercials. From there, she starred in a few TV shows including "Murphy Brown" and "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" which led to her breakthrough film, Clueless, with Alicia Silverstone. She went on to appear in other movies and did voice work for animated programs such as 'King of the Hill' (she was the voice of Luanne Platter). You catch entertaining reruns of her episodes on DISH Network TV.
"Today the world lost a little piece of sunshine" as quoted by Ashton Kutcher, who Murphy dated back in 2002. May she rest in peace.
