Brittany Murphy (1977-2009)

A photo retrospective of the '8 Mile' star

Brittany Murphy, the free-spirited actress who starred in such films as "Clueless" and "8 Mile," died Sunday morning in Los Angeles. She was 32.

In honor of the late actress, whose talents ranged from high profile comedic and dramatic film acting ("Girl, Interrupted"), lucrative voice work ("King of the Hill") and singing (Murphy and Paul Oakenfield had a club hit with the 2006 dance single, "Faster Kill Pussycat"), we take a look back at her life in photos.
