Biography |
 |
|
| |
Brittany Murphy (born November 10, 1977) is an American actress who is perhaps best known for her performance as Tai Frazier in Clueless. Murphy was born in Atlanta, but was a frequent traveller since she was young; she moved to the New York area and from there, to Burbank, California, with her mother, who had divorced her father when Murphy was young.
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). Murphy landed her first job at Hollywood when she was 14, participating in a show named Drexell's Class. Brittany's major breakthrough film appearance was in Clueless (1995), the Emma meets "Beverly Hills, 90210" comedy, in which she starred opposite of Alicia Silverstone. She has gone 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).
Aside from the 25 screen appearances since her Clueless (1995) breakthrough, Brittany has leant 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. She now resides in Los Angeles where she lives with her mother.
