I just feel sad. It’s kind of like Heath Ledger: Brittany Murphy dies before she could move past what everyone on the web is calling her “self-image issues,” and reach her true potential. Because she definitely had potential to be a damn good actress and apparently, a singer (this is a great piece on her from Hitfix.com). Then again, what made her some of her performances more heartbreaking was the fragility she infused in them. Something in her eyes, like when she’s looking at Eminem in 8 Mile or even when she’s supposed to be funny in films such as Just Married. Here are a few of Murphy’s more memorable moments (or the ones I could find clips for):
As Tai, the “make-over” girl from Clueless:
As the tragic Daisy in Girl, Interrupted:
As the sexy Shellie in Sin City:
In the eerily titled The Dead Girl:
And lastly, showing off her lovely set of pipes in Happy Feet:
