We're told the LA County Coroner's is picking up Murphy's body from Cedars later today and will launch a death investigation.
Brittany Murphy is one of my favorite actresses, and I cry every time I watch the end of 'Uptown Girls' when her character watches Dakota Fanning dance to the song that Brittany's character's(Molly) father-a rock star who died in a car crash when she was young wrote about her-'Molly Smiles.' Here's a video of it.
She was also in "Girl, Interrupted' and gave an incredible performance as a sexually abused and mentally disturbed young woman in a sanatorium.
I'm so sad! She was always so full of excitement and fun. If there was ever an actress to play me in a movie, I would have wanted it to be her. She was and will continue to be one of my most loved actresses. Take care of her for us, Angels! :(

Oh what sad sad news. I didn't know she had died. Jeez, she was only 32 years old. God, this makes me sad.
It's very sad. :-( I can't believe she died...it's just crazy.
Amazing clips. What a tragic loss. I've always loved her - she was so cute and brilliant and special. Damn.
This is so sad! I watched Happy Feet last night before she passed away and thought about how much I loved her.
That is a shame--so young.
I am a big fan as well. This is quote sad. I really love the film, Love and Other Disasters.
