Biography: Brittany Murphy
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,
Murphy 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. On the small screen that year, she switched to
much darker fare with the Holocaust drama The Devil's Arithmetic.
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.
