This year can't end fast enough. Jesus Christ, a heart attack?

Isn't it a little early to be writing about this? It hasn't been confirmed by her camp yet (i.e., rep), only "multiple sources." Granted, if it's true, you'll be on the ball, but right now, it looks like you're jumping the gun.

Then again, I'm just upset at 2009. Another name gone. :( I hate this year.

Oh no!

I've liked her ever since the Clueless days.

Wow, so fucking sad. What a shock.

Wasn't she also in Sin City? One of the best movies of the aughts.

Farewell Brittany. We'll miss you.

HOLY SHIT! The girl had an amazing voice. I'll be watching Clueless tonight and counting down to the end of this fucked up year.

I'm stunned... why her?

Be seeing you Brittany. I hope not sporadically.

I loved the song she did with Paul Oakenfold. The girl could sing. It's very sad. And yes, this year has been can't end soon enough.

Murphy went out of heart failure because, very likely, the poor girl was on some major chemicals. She was looking beat and that shady dude she married I'm sure didn't help. People always forget that she did excellent voice work on King of the Hill.

Dead at 32, just before Christmas? Way harsh, God.

Aw, so sad. Slim, I loved her as Luanne. The Manger Babies will be especially poignant now....

Awww... Luanne. This sucks.

I thought this was another Josh Jackson thing. Damn.

Just read this elsewhere. i've liked her since Girl, Interrupted. Very sad to hear this.

Man she had quite the body of work even if it was only as a supporting player, from Kids Incorporated to Seaquest DSV to Pepper Ann. The only times she was the featured star was in those stupid rom-coms with Kutcher and Josh Hartnett (isn't he dead too?). They both flopped and that sealed it for her, she was relegated to best friend/hooker/stripper/waitress roles. Personally, I believe she was a 100% better fit for the Jessica Alba part on Sin City.

Cardiac arrest...that's Hollywood for "I did so many drugs my heart fucking stopped."

32, my parents didn't meet each other until they were 33. Dying that young is a travesty.

She was cute, she had charisma, she had some skills and she was doing the hard work.

I was actually looking forward to more work form her.

Like I said, sad news.

Jeez.

I always had a pretty big crush on her. She had big, soulful eyes and such a voice. I agree with all of you that 32 is too young, too soon and that 2009 cannot disappear from the calendar soon enough.

Oh gosh. Just had to google this to make sure it wasn't a weird joke or I was imagining it. How sad.
Apparently her mother found her...?
Just adds to the sadness factor.
R.I.P.

I've enjoyed her work and really feel for her family trying to deal with such an early and tragic passing but really people, with the marriage to Monjack and all the other sketchy stuff she's been up to lately I'm amazed that you're really that surprised by her death.

I'll always think of her as one of the best parts of Drop Dead Gorgeous. Such a shame she is gone, she always looked like she was having such a fun time in Hollywood. I'm just at a loss of words for how sad this truly is.

i will love brittany murphy forever if only for her delivery of these two lines from drop dead gorgeous:

"It's like why asking all the guys chew Cophenhagen. If you're 17, and you're not a total fry... it's jus whatcha do."
"You know what dad, you know what? Peter's gay! GAY!!"

not to mention all of her awesome voicework, her fantastic singing voice, and clueless. i know she always had kind of a batty reputation and that her career had some serious ups and downs, but she always struck me as a true genuine talent. we'll miss you luanne.

I always loved her. She had a great voice. She made the Menthos jingle sound like a rock song.

I heard this and the first thing I thought was "RANDOM."

I had a soft spot for Brittany. I found her infectious.

A heart attack at 32? I'm guessing she must have had heart disease...she was so young.

>>Ashton Kutcher, who dated Murphy and starred alongside in Just Married, expressed his sadness to his 4 million twitter followers with the following message: "2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon. See you on the other side kid."

Barf. 2009, there's still time 2 take this douche-bag.

i know this will seem like jumping on the bandwagon, but i honestly never understood the derision that she sometimes received from this site and it's commenters. i enjoyed her work in pretty much everything she was ever in (even the crappy films). but my favourite is probably this (skip to the 1:20 mark):

The beat thing I can say is that it's good to see that the usual fucking morons that pass off as Pajiba commenters aren't writing posts that say something along the lines of "Sending good thoughts to her family."

Like Murphy's relatives have ever even heard of, let alone read this pathetic dork spazzoid excuse for a website.

but what annoys me are the dorkoid posters saying something along the lines of "She was only 32?? That's so unfair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's way too young to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

funny how none of you have said that about the majority of those killed in WWI, WWII, the Korean. Vietnam and both Gulf Wars who were American citizens as their average age was 22. But they deserved to die, right, because they were fighting in wars in which America was on the wrong side, even when we were fighting those pesky Nazis.

Tools.

I hope your grandmothers all get cancer.

Yes, fappy, because mourning one person means we don't give a shit about no one else. We can only care about ONE person, don't you know?
