i really miss when Brittany Murphy....

I hope that Brittany Murphy is remembered more for her work as a funny, uninhibited character actress in movies like DDG and Clueless (not to mention her amazing, often grating but always hilarious vocal performance on King of the Hill). I think Brittany succumbed to the pressures to look like a typical Hollywood bombshell instead of staying her beautiful, naturally charming and funny self.
I find I gravitate more towards actors who aren't traditionally good-looking (i.e. 90's-Brittany, John C. Riley) who don't get the big lead parts but always have the most interesting characters.
Brittany was a unique talent, and it's a shame that her work in the 2000's never quite topped the performances she gave in the 90's.

"I wanted to buy a candle-holder but the store didn't have one. So I got a cake."

She also played a funny, oddball character in "Freeway."



"Stwike him, Centuwion ... vewy Wuffwy!"

You should see Don't Say a Word, she was amazing in that

Moron, she wasn't dead when this was originally posted. This thread was posted in May, months before Brittany died.
