I have followed her career since I caught her on "Almost Home" on the Disney Channel ages ago as a child, and always thought Brittany had something very rare and special, even if she did lose a little of it once she tried going the generic blonde starlet route. I immediately thought of "The Dead Girl" when I heard this news, as it was probably the most recent thing of hers I've seen and it just seems a little...prescient. Whenever I think of Brittany I think of her role in "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and that scene from "Riding in Cars with Boys" where she role-plays as Drew's mother and starts screaming "My daughter the <i>whooooo'e</i> in the middle of the street. Pure Brittany Murphy.<br /><br />And that voice - raspy, distinctive, seductive, unique...and she could sing. Sigh, I hate this.<br /><br />Roll with the homies in heaven, Tai.

Brittany hasn't been such an obvious big star in the making, maybe, but the potential - and some really right choices - were there, specially Girl Interrupted, Sin City and getting a co-star role in such a star-filled animated blockbuster as Happy Feet - wasn't her a delight there?. It's not only that she died, is what life has taken also her chance of fully showing us all her potential, that we could just glimpse so far. It's not only a sense of loss for what it's been, but also for what we seen could and should have been.

I'm still in shock over this news. I really hope that this doesn't turn out to be a sordid death of drugs and what not, b/c she had a promising career and a body of films to her credit that she could be proud of. Maybe not Oscarworthy great, but still great for what it was. I don't want that all sullied. Sad day. RIP Brittany. "Rollin' with the homies."
