Clueless (the film, not you), 8 Mile, Spun

I know these may be niche movies but Clueless especially is part of the pop culture landscape.

I know of it but have never seen it.

Well, 32 is too young, whether I know her work or not.

TMZ had pretty much the exact same story about her husband just last month. Just change the names and that he was revived/ her not revived from cardiac arrest. I don’t keep up with celebs, so was it drugs or what?

Sad. Her movies were funny.

She was pretty good in the movie, "Don't Say a Word", with Michael Douglas as a psychiatrist, and Sean Bean as a bad guy looking for her.

So sad, she was so young.

Not that anyone cares, but I think she was engaged to Ashton Kutcher before he hooked up with Demi.
