i liked her as Luanne Platter.

She was married? I just an article at huliq news (whatever that is) and it said that her husband, Simon Monjack, was refusing an autopsy, but the LA coronor has overruled him. It also states that her mother said Brittany was a diabetic.


Curiouser and curiouser...

ETA: Simon Monjack sounds a bit, well, sketchy.

I was reading an article about her death that said she had a heart murmur. I don't know if that can cause heart attack though.

I just bought & saw "Little Black Book". I loved the movie & her in it. I especially like it because no one ends up all married &/or in love at the end.

Still, a tragedy.

I just read that her husband doesn't want her body to be autopsied...I definitely thought that was kind of sketchy. I also read that her mom told the EMTs that she had a history of diabetes, so that's something I never knew.
It's so sad =[

I hate to say "most actresses", but would need to say many actresses have eating disorders.

I was reading an article today on Emily Blunt and she said that during the filming of Devil Wears Prada, that she and Anne Hathaway were prohibited from eating on the set because their characters had to be thin. We all hear of peer pressure but that is rediculous.

I read once that Courtney Thorne-Smith left Ally McBeal because the directors were constantly telling the women other than Calista Flockhart that they were "obese".

Hmm that is sketchy, but the ME has the right to order an autopsy if it is under suspicious circumstances. A 32 yeah old women dying of cardiac arrest would qualify.

Oh Tai.

Maybe you should have taken advice from virgins who can't drive.

Huh?

It is from Clueless.

It's a quote from "Clueless."

way harsh, tai

I need for TBS to play Clueless soon. Its been about... a month or so?

I didn't know Uptown Girls was one of her more known/recognized movies. Nor did I realize she has been in so many movies-Dont Say a Word, Girl, Interrupted, 8 Mile, Little Black Book (which I watched a couple weeks ago-funny!)... and a bunch others.

I liked her-wasnt super Hollywood in my opinion, but all this surrounding her death is going to be interesting.

Everything I read said that the autopsy "was" scheduled for Monday or Tuesday. No explanation, nothing to say her husband refused anything.
A heart murmur doesn't cause anything--it's actually a symptom. There's lots of different types and could be benign or could be a symptom of heart disease, weak valves, etc. They're talking about it on the news right now. Her mom found her unconscious in the shower, autopsy pending toxicology, etc. I didn't know her home used to belong to Britney Spears, though (the newscaster mentioned the neighbors being used to reporters swarming that house).

ETA: Does anyone else have a huge feeling of deja vu? This feels like Heath Ledger all over again. :(

I felt the same way too. Kinda like Heath Ledger mixed with when I heard Aaliyah died. Though she died in a crash (right?), it was still pretty left field and I was in a bit of disbelief.

Of course, back then, I found out through word of mouth and the local newspaper, and still was in disbelief. I don't know why, almost 10 years later, the same type of news breaks via TMZ and Twitter yet I believed it instantly.
