The Shinning Young Star Who Masked Her Troubles with a Smile – Britney Murphy

Brittney Murphy’s closest friends have hinted that she was troubled young star who was addicted to prescription pills. She died on the 20th of December 2009 after suffering a cardiac arrest.

She was known to have had an unhealthy body.

A close “Pal” suggested that after shooting the 1996 movie ‘clueless’, she thought she was not in the right shape. Soon after the movie premiered, she was skinner, she was blonde and going out with people like Eminem and Ashton Kutcher.

Another close friend said: “A lot of her problems were due to poor self image. She wore extraordinary amounts of makeup, tons of fake eyelashes, got her teeth capped, dyed her hair blonde, lost weight. She wanted to be some one she wasn’t and these changes (she thought) were going to make it happen.

She didn’t want to be the fat girl as she appeared on clueless so she hardly ate and she drank heaps of coffee and other beverages with caffeine.

While her friends and family believe she was just troubled, website on the “net” claim she was hooked on a drug called Vicodin. Michael Jackson’s death was cause by a similar drug.

Another friend of the actress said: “We have been very worried something like this was about to happen……..Brittany has been living life on the edge. She definitely had a drug problem and we have all begged her to seek help. Sadly our words went through one ear and out of the other.
Simon Monjack husband of the late actress told Access Hollywood: “She had laryngitis. She had been tired at the end of the year. She had made a couple movies.”
At the time, there were many rumours which did not help her influence, he said: “I don’t know why anyone would think that. She found love. We found love………Brittany didn’t get to where Brittany was with anyone controlling her… Brittany was Brittany.”
