It's hard to believe that the young Brittany Murphy has been dead for a week now. But the news comes from reputable sources, many of which then go on to list her most memorable rôles, namely Tai on Clueless, Luanne Platter on several episodes of King of the Hill, Alex on 8 Mile, Sarah on Just Married, Daisy on Girl, Interrupted.
She was a very good actress, and there are many other films to remember her in besides the obvious ones mentioned in the various news stories. The one I would like to draw your attention to is The Ramen Girl, directed by Robert Allan Ackerman. Murphy is Abby, a spoiled American who is magically drawn to a ramen shop, taking her on a journey that turns her into a master ramen chef. The film is in English and Japanese, but don't let the presence of subtitles put you off from it. It's a very nice film.
Early in her career, Murphy had guest rôles in several TV shows: Murphy Brown, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Blossom, Frasier, Party of Five, Sister, Sister, SeaQuest DSV to name just a few. And let's not forget that on King of the Hill she also voiced Joseph Gribble before the boy's voice changed.
