Brittany Murphy: Inside Her Sudden Death at 32 That Still Confounds Hollywood

The world was shocked when actress and singer Brittany Murphy suddenly died at age 32, right before Christmas in 2009. She would have turned 40 on Friday, Nov. 10.

The Atlanta-born talent remains best-known for Clueless (1995) and 8 Mile (2002) with Eminem, but also costarred in Girl, Interrupted (1999) with Angelina Jolie, and led the romantic comedies Little Black Book (2004) and Just Married (2003), in which she starred alongside her real-life boyfriend at the time, Ashton Kutcher.

Murphy also made a splash on the music scene with DJ Paul Oakenfold via their single Faster Kill Pussycat, which became a club hit and reached No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2006.
