Brittany Murphy was born Brittany Anne Bertolotti on November 10, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. She is an American actress and singer.

Actress Brittany Murphy has made a Hollywood specialty of playing rough-around-the-edges chums and lovers. After guest starring roles in TV series like Blossom and Party of Five, she made her feature film debut in Clueless (1995) as Tai, the low-rent ugly duckling befriended by Alicia Silverstone's sleek Cher. Murphy won good reviews as Daisy, Winona Ryder's suicidal fellow mental patient in Girl, Interrupted (1999).

She followed that with supporting roles in a string of "chick flicks" including Sidewalks of New York (2001) and Riding In Cars With Boys (2002) with Drew Barrymore. She also starred in Sin City (2005) with Bruce Willis and 8 Mile opposite Eminem.

In May 2007, Murphy married screenwriter Simon Monjack in a private ceremony.
