this is what wiki had to say..Early life
Murphy was born in Atlanta, Georgia to Angelo Bertolotti (an Italian American
racketeering criminal[1]) and Sharon Murphy, who is of Irish American and Eastern
European descent. Murphy's parents divorced shortly after her birth, and she was raised
in Edison, New Jersey and Burbank, California by her single, working-class mother; she
has had little contact with her father since the divorce. Murphy was raised a Baptist, but
is now non-denominational.[1]
When she was nine years old, Murphy landed a singing role in a musical version of Les
Misérables, and had signed on with a manager by the time she turned thirteen.
[edit] Career
Murphy landed her first job in Hollywood when she was fourteen, starring as Brenda
Drexell in the television series Drexell's Class. She then went on to play Molly Morgan in
the short lived The Torkelsons spinoff Almost Home. She was also the lead singer of the
band Blessed With Soul in the early 1990s, and was at one time signed on to play late
singer Janis Joplin in a biography, but the film was not made because of legal disputes
over music rights.
Murphy has since starred in many successful films, including Clueless (1995), 8 Mile
(2002) and Uptown Girls (2003) as well as many lesser known films, such as Spun (2003).
She has also appeared on several television series, including Sister, Sister, Boy Meets
World and as the voice of Luanne Platter on the long-running animated series King of the
Hill.
She most recently appeared in the films Little Black Book (2004), which was considered a
critical and commercial failure, and the critically acclaimed Sin City (2005). Also in 2005,
she appeared in the promo video for Tears For Fears' comeback single Closest Thing To
Heaven, and in August 2005, Brittany co-presented UK music show CD:UK along side
Holly Willoughby.
In the Spring of 2006, Paul Oakenfold along with Brittany Murphy released the single
"Faster Kill Pussycat", with the album A Lively Mind which was released on June 6 in the
United States. The song has become a club hit, and hit number one on Billboard
magazine's Hot Dance Club Play chart. It also hit number seven in the UK singles chart in
June 2006. She'll dabble in music again with the release of her movie Happy Feet, in
which she covers Queen's classic "Somebody to Love" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie
Wonderland".
In May of 2006, Maxim magazine named Murphy #49 on its annual Hot 100 List. She is
also featured in their Girls of Maxim Gallery.
She will be the first actress to provide a voice for the animated character Tinkerbell in an
upcoming Disney movie.
Brittany is currently working on her debut album, which is inspired by techno-pop sound.
The album will be released in 2007. She is working with various producers and DJs
including Paul Oakenfold, Chris Cox, Max Martin and Timbaland.
[edit] Personal life
Actor Jonathan Brandis was Murphy's high school prom date. Murphy has dated actor
Ashton Kutcher and was engaged to talent manager Jeff Kwatinetz in 2004. In December
2005, Murphy became engaged to Joe Macaluso, a production assistant she met while
working on her film, Little Black Book. In August 2006, they ended their engagement.[2]
Murphy's weight loss and transformation over the years caused speculation of an eating
disorder or plastic surgery, both of which she has denied [3]. During 2005, Murphy was
the spokesmodel for Jordache jeans.

Sunday 12/20/2009 4pm So as most of the NYC area I am housebound due to snow and just killing time talking on the phone with my big sister and brother most of the day and then a twitter came into my
phone from Austin Kutcher telling me that Brittany Murphy had passed away. I was like WTF? What happened? According to the press...Actress Brittany Murphy died early today after going into cardiac arrest,
law enforcement sources said. Los Angeles city firefighters responded to "a medical request" at Murphy's home in the 1800 block of Rising Glen Road in West Hollywood. Murphy, 32, was transported to
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Brittany Murphy starred in films including "Clueless," "8 Mile" and "Don't Say a Word." but she is most famous to most Prothinspoer's for her amazing transformation from chubby co-star to show stopping
stunner when she dropped 25lbs died her hair blonde and just became a stunner!
I am so sad to hear about this death and am kinda confused how she died of a heart attack at such a young age.. But I assume their will be much talk about that later on..
My heart goes out to her family and friends and of course fans...
update..US actress Brittany Murphy died today from a reported heart attack at the age of 32.
Multiple sources told celebrity news website TMZ.com that she went into full cardiac arrest and despite multiple attempts, could not be revived.
Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Devon Gale said emergency services were called to the house she shares with her screenwriter husband Simon Monjack in Los Angeles at 8am local time.
According to reports, her mother Sharon Murphy discovered her daughter unconscious in the shower.
Paramedics determined that Brittany was in full cardiac arrest and immediately administered CPR.
They continued mouth-to-mouth as they sped to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, several miles away from her home, but Brittany was pronounced dead on arrival at 10.04am.
Monjack was not thought to have been at home at the time.
Messages left for Murphy's manager, agent and publicist weren't immediately returned.
Murphy married screenwriter Monjack in a private Jewish ceremony in May 2007.
Celebrities began paying tribute to her on their Twitter pages today as soon as the news broke including rocker Fred Durst, who wrote: 'RIP Brittany Murphy. What a sweet human being. My prayers are with her
friends and family.'
Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian wrote: 'OMG!!!! This is horrible news when anyone passes. I'm so sorry for her family. Send prayers out please.'
Actress Jessica Simpson wrote: 'Brittany Murphy was an incredible ray of Light to so many people. Her smile was contagious. My prayers are with her family and loved ones.'
Singer Hilary Duff wrote: 'RIP Brittany Murphy forever in our hearts.'
Speculation immediately began surrounding the cause of Brittany's sudden death from cardiac arrest, the same cause of Michael Jackson's death in June.
Police are still investigating the singer's apparent dependency on prescription drugs.
Even celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton hinted on his website there might have been some other cause behind Brittany's sudden death today.
He wrote: 'Absolutely devastating. Especially because this comes as no surprise! We, and those who knew Brittany personally, saw this coming. That does not make this any less horrible...
Funny because Perez wasn't close with Brittany at all he talks like they chatted together all the time..
Update.. So yes as most people already know Brittany and I did know each other and because I run Prothinspo now the news is trying to make it seem that she died of anorexia. This will have to be proven to
me because she was on prescription drugs from a doctor.. sound familiar lately?
Height : 5' 5" (1.65 m)
Weight : 105 lbs
Measurements : 34-24-35
Update.. I am not sure if you guys know but Brittany was a diabetic and jewish. I mention Jewish because jews do not do autopsy it is against the religious practice. Her family will not be allowing an autopsy. I felt
a sense of relief for her and her family when I realized they wouldn't do an autopsy, this will keep it from becoming a circus.
12/21/09 update on the autopsy the coroner's office is stating that they will be doing an autopsy Monday or Tuesday.. many bloggers are blaming her husband for her death and I think that is just crazy. The
police stated that there were no illegal drugs in the home but many prescriptions for her husband and mother. She stated to her mom that she hadn't been feeling well, went into the shower threw up and well..
seems she had a heart attack and died... I am in shock that they are conducting this autopsy against the families religious requests.
2/4/2010 Brittany Murphy died from pneumonia and “iron deficiency anemia” as well as multiple drug intoxication, the Los Angeles County Coroner reported.
The 32-year-old Clueless star’s death was ruled accidental, and TMZ reports that the drugs found in her system were for cramps and over-the-counter medicine, including cough syrup.
Underlying problems of pneumonia and iron deficiency were to blame in what’s believed to have been a preventable death.
