Movie star Brittany Murphy is dead of a heart attack at 32.
She went into full cardiac arrest early Sunday and could not be revived, the Website TMZ reported.
The Los Angeles City Fire Department got a call from the home of Murphy's husband Simon Monjack about 8 a.m., fire officials told TMZ.
She was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival
Murphy starred in "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word."
The starlet became a household name among teens in 1995 as the sidekick in "Clueless," who went from awkward wall flower to snotty hottie.
A few years ago, she released the single "Faster Kill Pussycat," which became a dance club hit.
Her last big movie was "Sin City" in 2005

I'm shocked! She seemed like one of the more cooler actresses in Hollywood -- I liked her in Clueless and Just Married. She looks waif. I HATE to see women of Hollywood diet down to a size 0 or 2, that's not sexy or beautiful. Being healthy is.

Yawn. Your feigned disdain and lack of sensitivity is quite interesting for someone who bothered to to post on this thread in the first place.

Too bad, many heart attack, in fact, a near majority are the result of nothing more than a simple lack of Magnesium in the body, it could have been nothing more than that, either way 32 is so young to die.

she was adorable in Double Jeopardy with Joe Penney (1996). Penney is a married cop and Brittany is a waitress...he ends killing her in the end and dragging her body out of his truck...her parents are left to raise her little boy. Great performance by a 19 year old, she was not anorexic either, just normal.

Are you telling me the movie with Joe Penny as a cop who's wife was Teri Garr? The waitress with the black hair was Brittney Murphy?

Well, she really didn't make a big impression as an actress, except for her role in
Clueless probably. She will end up in the entertainment industry's narcissistic sights as just another pop culture footnote. FReepers should remember her as one of the few celebrities who actually gave a hoot about
supporting our troops. In this 2005 article, she discusses a MAXIM magazine shoot dedicated to the troops.
"The reason that I chose to do this was because... the magazine was kind enough to put a pin-up inside for the troops.
"My cousin is overseas right now and he's a Marine. Maxim's doing a very kind thing in which they're sending, I believe, over 20,000 magazines overseas - and to our Bravehearts in the States."
R.I.P., kiddo.

“How odd does it seem, now, that she appeared in:
The Expendables (2010) (post-production) .... Amy
The Dead Girl (2006) .... Krista
Girl, Interrupted (1999) .... Daisy Randone
Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) .... Lisa Swenson
Til Death Do You Part (1992) TV episode .... Brenda Drexell
Ashes to Ashes (1992) TV episode .... Brenda Drexell”
She was also in the movie “Spun”. She played a tweeked out meth whore who screwed Mickey Rourke (Cookie the meth cook) to keep her high. She was good in the role.

Gay men dominate the fashion industry, and they want all women to look like teenage boys.
I am dead freakin’ serious about that.
Take a look through Vogue or Cosmo. Notice any chick with an actual rack? You sure don’t.
