Brittany Murphy Biography

Brittany Murphy was born on 10 November 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Perhaps it was being born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in Edison, New Jersey that bestowed Brittany Murphy with the adaptability that had allowed her to conquer a fairly prodigious amount of projects. Brittany first honed her acting skills in regional theater at the age of 9. By age 13, she had signed on with a manager and began appearing in television commercials.

In 1991, at the age of 13, Brittany and her mother moved to Burbank, California, where she landed her first television role on the show “Blossom” (1991). This lead to a starring role on “Drexell’s Class” (1991), a series that proved to be short lived. Brittany’s major breakthrough film appearance was in Clueless (1995), the Emma meets “Beverly Hills, 90210″ (1990) comedy, in which she starred opposite of Alicia Silverstone.

She went on to demonstrate her versatility and talent for not only comedy but drama; Brittany was nominated for best leading female performance in the Young Artist Awards for her role in the television film David and Lisa (1998) (TV). Aside from the many screen appearances she made after her Clueless (1995) breakthrough, Brittany lent her vocal talents, established in the early 1990s as a lead singer of her band “Blessed Soul”, to the cartoon “King of the Hill” (1997) as the voice of Luanne.
