Actress Brittany Murphy passed away (cause of death unknown at this point) in Los Angeles. From Mike Judge’s King of the Hill to Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City and Curtis Hanson’s 8 Mile and Amy Heckerling’s Clueless, she had a pretty solid and diverse career going. I’m sure more details will emerge.
Murphy had several projects still in production (one of them the action-fest The Expendables), not sure how those projects will be affected by her shuffling off the mortal coil.

If its a heart attack I’m going to assume that anorexia is going to be showing up in a lot of headlines sooner than later.
If it is anorexia related, this may be a good opporutnity to recommend everyone to see the excellent HBO anorexia documentary “Thin”
its on youtube in multiple parts

At least one person in this film that I know of has died since it was released
What a goddamn shame…
I’ve been wanting to see “Thin” for some time, so thanks for the reminder Goon.
Brittany will be missed by her fans; it’s not everyday that you find a girl with her looks *and* a great sense of humor
