'Brittany Murphy: An ID Mystery': Viewers miss the talented actress's spark, say 'we lost her way too soon'
On December 20, 2009, one of Hollywood's top leading ladies, Brittany Murphy died. She was just 32 years old. Her death was surrounded by mystery and suspicion that only grew when her husband Simon Monjack died in similar circumstances just five months later.
The actress remains best known for her work in 'Clueless' (1995) and '8 Mile' (2002) with Eminem, 'Girl, Interrupted' (1999). She also led the romantic comedies 'Little Black Book' (2004) and 'Just Married' (2003), in which she starred alongside her real-life boyfriend at the time, Ashton Kutcher. Murphy was known for her diverse roles — something that had been constant during her career. At the premiere of the noir thriller, 'Across the Hall', Murphy said, "For me, I've had the good fortune of being able to play characters that are stuck in the middle of comedic situations, comedic stories, just ridiculous — or tragic. It all has to do with a story and the director, and that's really where the decisions are made on my behalf."
Investigation Discovery recently aired its special, 'Brittany Murphy: An ID Mystery' and viewers couldn't stop talking about how much the actress is missed. One fan wrote, "#BrittanyMurphy is trending. This year will be 11 years since her death. She was always my first choice for Harley Quinn. I hope she and Heath are holding it down up there in heaven."
