Brittany Murphy from 0 to 32 years old

Brittany Anne Murphy-Monjack (née Bertolotti; November 10, 1977 - December 20, 2009) was an American actress and singer, known for playing Tai Frasier in the teen movie Clueless (1995), Alex Latourno in 8 Mile (2002) and Daisy Randone in Girl, Interrupted (1999).
She was born in Atlanta to Sharon Kathleen Murphy and Angelo Joseph Bertolotti, but was raised by her mother in Edison, New Jersey after her parents divorced when she was two years old. From the age of four, she trained in singing, dancing, and acting. She attended Verne Fowler School of Dance and Theatre Arts in Colonia, New Jersey, in 1982. At age thirteen, Brittany moved to California and got her first job in Hollywood starring as Brenda Drexell in the series Drexell's Class.
Her breakthrough role was as Tai Frasier in Clueless (1995), followed by supporting roles in independent films such as Freeway (1996) and Bongwater (1998). She made her stage debut in a Broadway production of Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge in 1997 before appearing as Daisy Randone in Girl, Interrupted (1999) and as Lisa Swenson in Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999).
In the 2000s, Murphy appeared in Don't Say a Word (2001) alongside Michael Douglas, and alongside Eminem in 8 Mile (2002), for which she gained critical recognition. Her later roles included Riding in Cars with Boys (2001), Spun (2002), Just Married (2003), Uptown Girls (2003), Sin City (2005), and Happy Feet (2006). Murphy also voiced Luanne Platter on the animated television series King of the Hill (1997-2010). Her final film, Something Wicked, was released in April 2014.
In late 2002, she began dating Ashton Kutcher, her co-star in Just Married, where they met while filming the same film. It was later revealed that they had been engaged, due to both Kutcher and Murphy wearing rings, although it was never officially confirmed. She met Simon Monjack, a British screenwriter and they were married in a private Jewish ceremony in Los Angeles in May 2007.
On December 20, 2009, Brittany died under disputed circumstances. The coroner's verdict was pneumonia, exacerbated by anemia. She was 32 years old.
In the 2021 documentary What Happened to Brittany Murphy?, several of Monjack's colleagues and friends accused him of being responsible for her wife’s physical changes and also of not letting her connect with her family.
