Brittany Murphy first came to the attention
of film audiences when she starred as Tai, one of Alicia
Silverstone's airhead friends in the 1995 comedy Clueless.
After making her name as this dim bulb character, Murphy went
on to prove that she was anything but clueless with a number
of television and film roles that gave expression to the scope
of her talent and versatility.
Born in Atlanta on November 10, 1977, Brittany
was raised by her mother in Edison, New Jersey. A precocious
child who began putting on shows when she was a toddler, Murphy
was acting in regional theatre productions by the age of nine.
Work in various commercials followed, and in 1990 she landed
her first television role, on the sitcom Blossom. She then
went on to a lead on the short-lived sitcom Drexell's Class
in 1991, and the following year she made her film debut in
the dysfunctional family drama Family Prayers. Murphy's talent
for portraying all sorts of dysfunction was further exhibited
in such films as Clueless; the Reese
Witherspoon trailer trash odyssey Freeway (1996); and
the made-for-TV David and Lisa (1998). Murphy won particular
acclaim for her work in the last film; the story of two emotionally
troubled teens (Murphy and Lukas Haas) who reach out to each
other allowed the actress to prove herself in a purely dramatic
role. In 1999, Murphy could again be seen portraying an emotionally
damaged character in Girl, Interrupted, in which she played
a patient at a mental institution. That same year, she explored
the collective insanity of the beauty pageant world in Drop
Dead Gorgeous, playing a pageant contestant who'd rather be
living it up in New York with her cross-dressing brother.
Cast opposite Eminem in director Curtis Hanson's 2002 drama
8 Mile, Murphy provided a compelling performance as an aspiring
rap star's unapologetic muse before starting 2003 on a lighter
note with the comedy Just Married.
In addition to the praise she has received
for her film portrayals, Murphy has won a different sort of
acclaim for the work she has done on the animated TV series
King of the Hill. As the voice of the Hills' beauty school
sex kitten niece Luanne, the actress earned the kind of recognition
that can only come from an animated character who was named
one of the sexiest women on television by a major men's magazine.
