I am – Hercules This one puts real tears on my face. Brittany Murphy, one of my favorite movie stars, passed away Sunday morning of cardiac arrest at age 32. While still a teenager, she served as Tai, one of the more memorable components of Amy Heckerling’s remarkable “Clueless.” She then went on to greater fame and success in a variety of big-screen starring roles, notably the sanatorium inmate Elisabeth in the 2001 smash “Don’t Say A Word” and the emerging romantic interest Alex in the 2002 blockbuster "8 Mile." She was also Shellie in 2005's "Sin City." She worked constantly, and will be seen among Sylvester Stallone's all-star cast next summer in "The Expendables." She was an amazing-looking actress who got plenty of work with just her voice, including roles in "Futurama," "Pepper Ann" and "Happy Feet." I loved that as her big-screen Hollywood stock began to rise at the start of this decade she never abandoned her supporting role as Luanne Platter in the brilliant Mike Judge/Greg Daniels animated collaboration “King of the Hill.” She was wonderful in that too. Her singing scored her (in collaboration with DJ Paul Oakenfold) the 2006 dance-club hit "Faster Kill Pussycat." Her other movie credits included "Drive," "Bongwater," "Drop Dead Gorgeous," "Girl, Interrupted," "Sidewalks of New York," "Summer Catch," "Riding in Cars With Boys," "Spun," "Just Married," "Uptown Girls," "The Groomsman," and "Love and Other Disasters."
