The breakthrough came in 1995 with her role in Clueless at the side of Alicia Silverstone. In the subsequent period, she played in many television and feature film productions. It is their fondness for the mentally unstable characters.

Brittany Murphy's most well-known role before breaking out as a secretive mental patient in the recent thriller Don't Say a Word was as a suicidal mental patient in Girl, Interrupted. Don't bother assuming anything, though, because Murphy is neither disturbed nor destructive - and she can play more than crazy.
In fact, the curvy, 23-year-old actress, who stands all of 5 feet 3 inches in heels, has given herself something of a makeover, going from brunette to blonde and co-starring in a film, Riding in Cars With Boys, in which she's not psychologically traumatized. Murphy has actually demonstrated a remarkable versatility throughout her career, moving from light comedies like Summer Catch, to Broadaway with Arthur Miller's A View From a Bridge, and back to TV with the animated series King of the Hill.
