Title: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Merusk on December 20, 2009, 11:51:25 AM At least according to TMZ. (http://www.tmz.com/category/r-i-p/)
I happened to catch this while checking out ticket prices for the wife and I to go to a movie later. Cardiac arrest, no details, only 32. Another celb drug death? No details atm beyond being pronounced DOA at Cedars-Sinai. [edit] Fixed the dead chick's name. Have some respect! Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: rattran on December 20, 2009, 11:54:27 AM Who? And why should I care?
And why isn't this in Serious Business? Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: stray on December 20, 2009, 11:58:34 AM Whoa, whoa Mr. Anti Celeb Death.. Have a heart. :grin:
IMO.. Actually, it's kind of sad. She wasn't a great actress, but she played cool, quirky parts. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: rattran on December 20, 2009, 12:02:52 PM At least I didn't spell her name wrong in the thread title.

Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Signe on December 20, 2009, 12:19:35 PM I gathered from reading the internet that her most prestigious role since becoming an adult was a cartoon voice.
Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: trias_e on December 20, 2009, 12:28:41 PM I only knew of her because of Sin City. That movie did wonders for her. Then I saw her in something in else and immediately purged her from my mind. Which I suppose was somewhat predictive.
Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Paelos on December 20, 2009, 12:41:04 PM Drugs. Yep. Also, child performer from the age of 2. :oh_i_see: Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32.

Also, child performer from the age of 2. :oh_i_see: soooo didn't pull out of a Drew Barrymore swan dive. Perhaps it makes me a heartless bastard, but at 32 to die from a cardiac arrest really what else besides drugs? Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32.

Which I suppose was somewhat predictive. Actually, she was first well known for being strange and obnoxious, and wasn't all that great looking. Like in Clueless (kind of entertaining if you haven't seen it..). And then she was really fucking sad in Girl Interrupted - probably her best acting. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32.

Post by: stray on December 20, 2009, 01:00:19 PM I didn't say it was good. I said she was. Reminds of this chick that used to steal my underwear and breakfast apples when I myself was in rehab. :why_so_serious:
[edit] Oh, and a Cowboys jersey too. Crazy bitch. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: angry.bob on December 20, 2009, 01:00:46 PM Damn it. She better hurry up and do a topless scene. Coroner's department, Make it happen!
That out of the way, I liked her. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: schild on December 20, 2009, 01:03:13 PM I didn't say it was good. I said she was.

She wasn't good and neither was winona or angelina. [edit] Oh, and a Cowboys jersey too. Crazy bitch. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: stray on December 20, 2009, 01:04:01 PM Winona wasn't. Angelina and Murphy were really good in it.
No comment on the general crazy thing. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: schild on December 20, 2009, 01:04:37 PM Winona wasn't. Angelina and Murphy were really good in it. Ok, yea, they were really good. You've convinced me. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: stray on December 20, 2009, 01:06:24 PM I knew you'd come around. :oh_i_see:
Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Tarami on December 20, 2009, 02:03:51 PM A sad reminder that making a snowglobe out of your own sinus doesn't render you immortal, even at 32.

Her, Mark Dacascos and Kadeem Hardison. Best thing she ever did. Rest in peace, weird girl. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: waffel on December 20, 2009, 03:41:57 PM 'Before and After' and 'After and Before'

Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Azaroth on December 20, 2009, 04:14:12 PM The fact that plastic surgeons are humans with knives.
Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Chimpy on December 20, 2009, 04:31:51 PM The fact that plastic surgeons are humans with knives. Looks like humans with needles....Botox really is a terrible thing. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Nebu on December 20, 2009, 04:40:54 PM Looks like humans with needles....Botox really is a terrible thing. My guess would be plastic surgery on the upper lip combined with collagen injections. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: waffel on December 20, 2009, 04:57:38 PM Her nose had some work. Or, if you choose to believe her:
But the 26-year-old is adamant the rumors are false. She tells website Pagesix.Com, "I have broken my nose three times. But I've never gotten it fixed. I know that changed the shape of it, but it made it wider." Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: stray on December 20, 2009, 07:08:38 PM Drive. Her, Mark Dacascos and Kadeem Hardison. Best thing she ever did. Rest in peace, weird girl. That movie's a sleeper! Mostly because of Dacascos though. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Surlyboi on December 20, 2009, 08:12:23 PM Totally because of Dacascos. And the line, "Let's kick his ass and take his coat."

So I'm just going to call it the first celebrity H1N1 death. You heard it here first! Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Signe on December 21, 2009, 08:44:17 AM Or maybe flu drugs.

Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: slog on December 21, 2009, 11:13:10 AM Who? some actress who did lots of drugs, was a child star, was good in one movie, and never get naked on screen. Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: voodoolily on December 21, 2009, 11:27:53 AM Drugs. Yep. Also, child performer from the age of 2. :oh_i_see: I assumed it was from anorexia. She was "eat a fucking sandwich" skinny after Clueless. Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: schild on December 21, 2009, 05:46:46 PM Drugs. Yep.

Post by: Azazel on December 22, 2009, 02:07:59 AM I liked her in Sin City, though she could have been interchangable. I thought that was the only thing I've seen her in, but I saw 8 Mile as well, which I don't recall anything of, thankfully. Also, someone should stop people and beat them about the head before they get surjery like that.
Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Surlyboi on December 22, 2009, 06:23:26 AM Actually, she didn't have surgery, she was just beat about the head.
Too soon? Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: rattran on December 22, 2009, 10:34:17 AM Not soon enough.
Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Mortriden on December 22, 2009, 11:49:11 AM She was also in Spun, where I thought she did a pretty good bit of acting; looking back, probably wasn't much of an act for her.
Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Soln on December 22, 2009, 12:01:54 PM anorexia and constant vomiting are known to damage the heart. Just sayin.
Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: gryeyes on December 22, 2009, 02:35:26 PM I never knew she was Lou Anne on KoTH.
Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: 01101010 on December 22, 2009, 04:58:42 PM Holy shit was she on a ton of meds... coke is/was the least deadly of any of them.
Quote According to the notes, the medications included Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins. - from TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/)Title: Re: Brittnay Murphy: Dead at 32.

The psychiatric meds she was on points to using Propran for the off-label properties. I see this stuff all the time on the subjects in the studies I work under. I highly doubt the adolescents in the psychiatric studies have hypertension. edit: I went down serious avenue while looking over at subtle hilarious jabs drive. I think I need a vacation from work for a bit. Well played sir... well played. Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Nebu on December 22, 2009, 07:01:53 PM Propranolol can be used to help remove or lessen bad memories or in specific anxiety cases. It's not solely a heart med. I've read several studies based in Europe on its use in PTSD cases.
Title: Re: Brittany Murphy: Dead at 32. Post by: Lantyssa on December 22, 2009, 07:27:31 PM Yeesh. Once you hit that many meds, it's time to flush them all and start fresh. I'm willing to believe she might need some, but that many has got to mess with the system way too much.
