RIP Brittany Murphy 1977 - 2009

Actress Brittany Murphy, star of films such as Clueless, Girl, Interrupted and Drop Dead Gorgeous, has died after collapsing at her home in Los Angeles. According to the coroners report, Murphy appeared to have died from a cardiac arrest. She was only 32.

I'm a big fan of Murphy's film work, and was saddened to hear of her death. An always interesting character actor, Murphy will be remembered for her portrayals of oddball outsiders in films such as Clueless, Freeway, Girl, Interrupted, Don’t Say a Word and Spun before she went on to star in the likes of Riding in Cars with Boys8 Mile and Sin City.

No stranger to darker, unsettling films, Murphy made a number of memorable forays into outright genre territory in her too-short career, with roles in the darkly comic slasher Cherry Falls, The Prophecy II and Deadline.

RIP Brittany. I hope not sporadically x
