I remember her in Almost Home. Clueless is one of my favorite movies of all time. As soon as I got my driver's permit, my parents helped me get a white Jeep Wrangler which I still drive to this day. What a complete waste. She was great in The Dead Girl and in Girl Interrupted, not to mention on King of the Hill. RIP Brittany.

Amy Heckerling's response seems to be more stream of conscience though at least she sounds genuine.

A lot of stuff I read there seems to be a lot of people hoping it was just drugs because it gives people some comfort that a 32 year-old woman with no real public medical problems can just keel over. I just don't get this idea. She could have had some congenital heart defect, which is what killed Joe Strummer, that could have hit her at any time. Whatever. I just would like to know what the autopsy is and I would like to know about this husband of hers.

"As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a 911 call from the home at 8 AM on Sunday and eventually transported Murphy to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. She was pronounced dead at the facility at 10:04 AM.

While LA County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told Access Hollywood the actress' death 'appears to be natural at this time' on Sunday, an autopsy was being conducted on Monday to determine the exact cause of death.

With regards to the coroner noting she may have suffered from flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to her death, Monjack admitted Murphy had been sick - but it did not seem like it was anything serious.

'She had laryngitis,' he said, noting she had seen a doctor. 'She had been tired at the end of the year. She had made a couple movies.'"

It is only been listed as natural causes but so was Elvis Presley's death on the certificate.

The more I read and hear about her widower, the more I wonder. When she was fired from a movie there have been people saying it was more of his presence and erratic behavior than her acting or attitude. Apart of me just thinks I am being prejudiced because of his rather Joe Schmoe appearance. A woman linked to Ashton Kutcher and Eminem in their primes married a guy like him? He was a small-time writer/producer/director of independent films- only two full-length features in his filmography with one in 2000 and the other in 2006 with no slated work. Like I said, he wasn't making big-paydays so he had to have been somewhat financially dependent on her career. I doubt there was foul play from him but I wonder of their relationship dynamics. Did he push her at all?

Her mother supposedly said she was diabetic. Or at least that is what is rumored.

I have lurked around on BWW but I never have been a poster before. I also never talked about Kevin Spacey at any point. Why would I? His acting is pedestrian.

Whoops. It was Kevin Smith. And I don't buy the lurker cover. That's a line that hasn't worked since about '96.

Yeah. Uh huh. Because the three step 90-second process to register and chime in is just toooooooo involved and time-consuming. You have to agree, strummergirl, a gal with so many opinions about such a myriad of topics seems particularly unlikely to lurk around for months and years.

And I love Corine. Apart of me loves her a lot.

Last month, her husband stopped breathing on a plane and paramedics rushed him to the hospital from the airport- purportedly against Brittany's will. I think it's more unlikely that a healthy married couple would both have serious, unexplained medical emergencies in the span of a few weeks, than that it is that the drugs might be involved.

Thank god for hot chocolate!

"I have lurked around on BWW but I never have been a poster before. "
