Brittany Murphy-monjack

Brittany Murphy is a famous American actress and singer. Gained popularity after the release of the films "Clueless", "Girl, Interrupted", "8 Mile". In 2009, the girl passed away under very strange circumstances. In this regard, the scandal around Brittany's death either subsides or flares up again.

Brittany Murphy (born Brittany Ann Bertolotti) was born on November 10, 1977. The girl's father was Angelo Bertolotti, a crime boss with Italian and American roots. At the time of his daughter's birth, he already had three convictions for organizing robberies and racketeering. When Brittany was about three years old, Angelo divorced his wife and left the family.

The mother of the future actress - Sharon Murphy - has Irish and Jewish roots. Of course, after the divorce, it was she who took up the upbringing of her daughter, which is why Brittany took her maternal surname at a young age. The girl's childhood was spent in the Edison township, in the state of New Jersey.

Already at the age of nine, the young actress performed in one of Edison's theaters, selflessly bringing to life the characters of the musicals The Real Rosie and Les Miserables. Sharon supported her daughter in all endeavors, and at the age of 13, Brittany got a manager. In parallel with her studies at school, she attended auditions for commercials. The first serious work of the girl was an advertisement for the Pizza Hut pizza chain.

To give Brittany a better chance in acting, her mother quit her job and moved with her daughter to California. Soon after the move, young Murphy got a role in an advertisement for the famous Skittles dragee. Around the same time, Brittany appeared on the screen not as part of a commercial: the girl got a small role in the television show "Blossom".

Among Murphy's first steps in cinema, it is worth noting participation in the television series "Drexell's Class". There, the actress got a bigger role, but the series itself, unfortunately, did not last long. More important was the participation in the filming of the simple youth comedy "Clueless", which appeared on the big screen in 1995. Brittany played a friend and classmate of the main character - the heroine of Alicia Silverstone.

In 1998, Brittany played the main female role in the television movie "David and Lisa", little known to the Russian audience. However, for her role in this film, the actress was nominated for the Young Artists Awards, a prestigious award that meant that Murphy was really noticed.

A real breakthrough in the artist's career was her participation in the film, Girl, Interrupted. The picture was released in 1999 and was a resounding success. This is the story of a girl who ended up in a mental hospital after trying to commit suicide. The film shows other residents of the hospital, tells the stories of their lives, exposes the attempts of young girls to find and understand themselves. The main roles in the film were played by Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder.

Soon, Brittany Murphy had to portray a mentally ill girl in another famous painting - "Don't say a word." This crime thriller with a touch of drama was released in 2001. The main roles, along with Murphy, went to Sean Bean and Michael Douglas - the second time that Murphy was lucky to work with famous artists.

Then Brittany played the leading roles in the films "8 Mile" (the famous rapper Eminem became a frame partner in the film) and "City Girls" (here the actress was accompanied by the young Dakota Fanning).

The key role went to the actress in the film "Aerobatics", where Mickey Rourke and John Leguizamo acted as Murphy's colleagues on the set.

In 2005, the artist's career was replenished with the film Sin City, where Quentin Tarantino acted as a specially invited director.

A year later, Brittany starred in two films. The comedy "Love and Other Disasters" tells the story of a girl Jackson, seeking to arrange the personal life of friends. The beauty herself adores the film with Audrey Hepburn "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and even imitates her beloved heroine in life.

The drama Dead Girl tells about the murder of a young girl Krista. The film is divided into 5 parts, each of which touches on the life of one heroine associated with the murdered woman. The role of Christa went to Murphy.

In the same year, Brittany acted as a voice actress. Gloria speaks in the voice of a girl in Happy Feet. In 2007, the animated film won an Oscar.

Brittany went to the lead role in Sushi Girl, which tells the story of a girl who came to Japan to learn how to make ramen. Murphy also produced this picture.

Shortly before the death of the artist, two films were released with the participation of the girl: "Murder by inheritance", "Across the corridor".

After Brittany's death, three more films saw the light, in which Murphy managed to star: "Mega-Rift", "Unbridled" and "Don't show it."

Most often, the young artist got the characters of girls with a difficult fate, who survived and underwent many trials. As the relatives and friends of Brittany say, the actress herself was distinguished by a light and cheerful disposition, cheerfulness and sociability.

The career of the artist was not only in acting. Murphy realized herself as a singer. The girl sang in the group "Blessed Soul" with her friend Eric Balfour in the early 1990s. This group has recorded soundtracks for the films, Girl, Interrupted and Walking with Boys in Cars.

In 2006, Brittany, together with DJ Paul Oakenfold, released the single "Faster Kill Pussycat", which became a club hit.

The artist can also be seen in the videos for the compositions "Here", "A Little Respect", "Closest Thing to Heaven" and "Faster Kill Pussycat".

Pretty and petite (the girl was 160 cm tall), Brittany often captivated the hearts of the opposite sex. During her school years, she dated Jonathan Brandis, the actor of the teenage series "Underwater Odyssey".

During the work on the film "8 Mile", Murphy's boyfriend, according to journalists, was Eminem. There is no exact information on this, but what is known for certain is that in 2002 Ashton Kutcher became Brittany's chosen one. However, this romance did not last too long: in Murphy's wedding photos it is not at all with the eminent actor, who later became the fiancé of Demi Moore.

In 2004, the actress announced her engagement to producer Jeff Quatints, however, this relationship soon ended.

The man Brittany went down the aisle with was screenwriter Simon Monjack. The wedding took place in May 2007. The couple did not have children.

In the early 2000s, the audience noted that the artist had lost a lot of weight. Some journalists attributed her cocaine addiction. The girl herself denied these rumors in 2005, noting that she had never tried drugs.

Fans of artists often notice that idols have stellar counterparts. Moreover, celebrities are not related to each other. So, Keira Knightley was often confused with Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel with singer Katy Perry, actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan with colleague Javier Bardem. A double was also found in Brittany Murphy, who had died untimely. It was a young actress Lili Reinhart, the star of the series "Riverdale".

In one interview, the young artist shared that some consider the girl to be Brittany's reincarnation.

There is a celebrity that Brittany Murphy herself was considered to be like: this is the singer Gwen Stefani.

Brittany Murphy died suddenly on December 20, 2009. The girl's age at that time was 32 years old. Like Heath Ledger, who died in 2008, Brittany left behind beautifully played roles and millions of fans deeply saddened by the untimely passing of her idol.

Interestingly, after the death of both artists, videos began to appear where Ledger played the role of the Joker hero he played, and Murphy appeared as the beloved of the villain Harley Quinn.

The official cause of death for Brittany Murphy is a heart attack. The actress was found by her mother when she was lying unconscious in the bathroom of her home in Los Angeles. Sharon called an ambulance, which tried to resuscitate the girl, but no result was achieved either in the house or on the way to the hospital. When Brittany was taken to the Sinai Cedars medical center, the doctors could only make a conclusion about the death of the patient.

Immediately after the news of the death of the actress thundered, a number of celebrities expressed their condolences to the Murphy family. Ashton Kutcher wrote on a blog: “Today the world has lost a ray of light. My deepest condolences to Brittany's family, her husband and her amazing mother Sharon ... See you on the other side, kid. " Another quote from the recording of singer Jessica Simpson: "Brittany Murphy was like a ray of sunshine, and her smile was just infectious."

Murphy's funeral took place on December 24 in the Hollywood Hills. The grave of the deceased actress is located at Forest Lawn Cemetery. Why such a young girl left for another world is a question to which there is still no answer. The forensic experts who performed the autopsy blame pneumonia, complicated by an overdose of drugs.

After his wife passed away, Simon Monjack said that the wife had visited a doctor and was treated. But investigators found out that Brittany went to the doctor for a long time, and then began to be treated on her own. Murphy's friends persuaded the police to question Simon, but Monjack was never listed as a suspect in his wife's death.

And shortly after the death of Brittany, on May 23, 2010, the artist's husband suddenly died. Immediately after that, it was suggested that the fungus caused this disease in both spouses.

Murphy's father demanded an independent test, as a result of which 10 types of heavy metals were found in samples of Brittany's blood, tissues and hair. There was a version that the girl was deliberately poisoned.

Some journalists even drew attention to the fact that shortly before her death, the actress lost a lot of weight, and suggested that the cause of Brittany's death was an extreme diet.

Angelo Bertolotti continued to search for the true cause of his daughter's death. The man spoke in an interview about the belief that the actress was killed. Brittany's father believed the actress's mother, Sharon, was guilty of this. Angelo claimed that the elder Murphy had poisoned the girl with rat poison. Allegedly, she found motives for this, because the artist left her property to her mother.

Brittany's father assured that the woman wanted to stop her daughter, who dreamed of leaving for New York and starting life there from scratch. Murphy was thinking about pregnancy.

For a long time, Bertolotti pounded the doorsteps of police stations, wanting to whitewash the name of his late daughter, who was accused of drug use or anorexia. But in 2016, his efforts were diminished by health problems. He did not stop blaming his ex-wife for the death of his daughter.

In 2014, director Joe Menendez presented a biopic about the life of the actress entitled The Story of Brittany Murphy. The main role in the film was played by Amanda Fuller.

Although almost 10 years have passed since the girl's death, relatives and fans are still trying to unravel the mystery of the death of their beloved artist.

Fans never stop loving and admiring Brittany Murphy's talent. Therefore, on the social network "Instagram" there is a fan group of the artist, where fans post personal and work pictures of the actress, found on the Internet.
