From Wikipedia:
Brittany Murphy (November 10, 1977 – December 20, 2009) was an American actress and singer. She starred in films such as Clueless, Girl, Interrupted, 8 Mile, Sin City and Riding in Cars with Boys, and performed vocals on a range of films and with dance musician Paul Oakenfold, together garnering a number one dance music hit in the United States in 2006.
At 8:00 a.m. (PST) on December 20, 2009, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to "a medical request" at the Los Angeles home Murphy and Monjack shared. She apparently collapsed in a bathroom. Firefighters attempted to resuscitate Murphy on the scene, and she was subsequently transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival at 10:04 a.m. after going into cardiac arrest. Cause of death is yet to be determined, but Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told the Associated Press: "It appears to be natural." Full results will not be known until an autopsy is performed, and experts have looked into her medical records and toxicology reports.

I asked my friend if I should know Britanny Murphy. She said Yes. But that still doesnt change the fact that I'm not very well-versed with my Celebrities.
Loreena, don't feel bad...I'm pretty out-of-touch with celebrities myself, but I do remember her from a couple of movies and I actually just found out (while doing research for this blog post) that she was the voice of Luanne on King of the Hill! :)

Leilani,
I, too, have near heard of her, but did watch King of the Hill and some of the movies she has been in. This is tragic and so sad. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, Barbara...I also read that she and her husband were planning on starting a family next year. So very sad. :(

From the reprots, it sounds like she has was troubled by a number of things. Once again shows that money and fame doesn't count for much if you are not happy.
Very young - didn't know her name, but have watched Happy Feet many times (5 yr old and 2 yr old). So sad.
A life cut short. It is sad but a reminder to us all to enjoy each and every day.
It certainly is a very sad thing to hear about. She was a talentd young lady who will be missed.
HRG, Penny, Diane and Tony...thanks for stopping by and commenting. It is very sad news indeed.

What a shame. I had no idea she played Luanne on King of the Hill. Aloha and happy holidays!
So sad that a young talent like her was taken. Her voice was great in Happy Feet.
Georgina, I loved her character Luanne. :)
Rick, I haven't seen Happy Feet yet, but I'll think of her when I do. :)
