That was such a shocker about Brittany Murphy a dozen years ago. RIP Luanne Platter.
Depressing anytime I think about Brittany Murphy’s passing. Such a charming actress and woman, and gone far too soon. She didn’t deserve to die the way she did.
Let her RIP already. She gone and had a tragic ending
So looking forward to All Creatures Great and Small. Heartwarming show.
