37bm was wonderful! came on strong at first then kind of fizzled out. love is all around
Oh Oh too soon?
Why am I rotting away in this tiny west hollywood apt. while the Lord has taken such a beautiful gurl. I once met her backstage at the MTV movie awards. I was presenting with BiBi besch.....now there was a looker. nice jugs and she could suck the chrome off a bumper....anyway the Murphy girl, instead of grabbing my hand to walk out on stage, she accidentally grabs my schlong...WOW what a talented young actress.....she will be missed!!!
I will miss you Tai!!
1. she was born late in the year (November), so she would have been 17 for most of 1995 2. the movie was released in 1995, so her initial involvement may have began when she was in fact 15 3. you all need to think a little more
18 in 1995
she would be 18 yrs old wouldn't she???
Tanya, you are correct. She was born in 1977, so in 1995 she would have been 18. Come on, people, at least get your ages correct. Perhaps the character she was playing was supposed to be 15 ?
Gone too soon.
It is a big shock I now heard about it. That's realy sad. She was my favorite actress. It's hard to believe Brittany is gone so soon. RIP
How sad, to loose one at such a young age. Brittany, was beautiful, Talented and a outstanding actress. She will be missed. My prayers go out to her family! Love you Brittany! (tear)
MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS GO OUT TO BRITTANY'S FAMILY AND LOVED ONES SHE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY ...I LOVED HER MOVIE ROLES SHE WAS A VERY OUTGOING YOUNG LADY WHO WOULD PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE WE LOVE YOU BRITTANY:(:(
I actuually heard it yesterday around noonish via Twitter...so sad.
Aww thats sad to know that 1 minute someone u love is here and the next they are gone.. I liked Brittanys acting she was talented she will always be remembered. May God be with her husband and family at this difficult time..
The chronology does not make sense. This says she was 15 in 1995 when she got her big break in Clueless; that would make her 29 years old. But wasn't she 32?
I think that its pretty sad to lose someone at such a young age. She was a beautiful young talented woman. I just found out this morning. I wonder why I havent seen it on TV yet? My prayers go out to her family and friends.
This is a sad day, another star had passed. She will always be remembered, as will her work. She will be missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. May God bless you during this difficult time, but remember, "God will never put on your shoulders more that you can carry."
