RIP Brittany Murphy

Tweet This is not a U2 post, but as a U2 fan, I am human and find sadness in the death of a 32-year old actress, who also starred in one of the best movies I've seen: 8 Mile.

Here is the story from the NY Daily news. I am sure more details will come, because she was VERY thin. But, for the moment, I feel terrible for her husband and family.

32 years old.

Too soon.






NY Daily News:

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 husbandSimon 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.
