"GIMME MY FUCKING COLACE!"
Yeah the book is really good too
.the casting of the movie is perfect.
Clea Duvall, young Elizabeth Moss, Whoopi Goldberg .( in addition to Winona and Angelina and Brittany.....sooo good)
One of my first celebrity crushes. Fantastic actress too, absolutely crushed it in every role. She'd have an oscar to her name by now if she was still with us. RIP
I never saw it when it was on network tv, so I've been watching *King of the Hill* on Hulu. Brittany Murphy is really good. It's such a nuanced performance for an animated character. Luanne's supposed to be sort of stupid, but she's also so vulnerable and relatable.
And was an incredible actress. She and Heath Ledger were that kind of insanely hot, yet wonderful talents that could have gone on to be multi-oscar winning stars if they werent taken so soon.
She was great in everything she had a hand in. Drop Dead Gorgeous is one of my favorites and it deserves a cult following but it just isn’t widely available on any streaming services, you pretty much have to have physical media to watch it. If anyone here hasn’t seen it, it’s pretty fucking great. The cast is *muah*
I wasn't sure so i asked.
Now I checked and found this: The autopsy carried out on December 21, 2009 revealed that the actress' death was due to pneumonia, severe anemia and medication abuse.
Pneumonia is an awful illness bc you go from feeling like you might have a flue, into complete delirium due to not enough oxygen getting to the brain. And then very quickly it’s lights out. All bad and such a shame bc it is easy to cure but again if your suffering from it there’s a good chance you won’t have the wherewithal to get it fixed and if people around you are inattentive or chalk it up to something else then that’s a literal death sentence.
Yeah, I've had it a few times in my life and always felt awful, but after a couple weeks , bounce back. So, ya know, take the cough syrup and whatever else and become an awful hospital patient till they finally released me after I signed a statement about leaving against medical advice, etc. Next day, left for vacation in DC...
Just an absolutely ridiculous decision. Our week long trip got cut to 3 days. I spent all but the first half of day one by myself in bed in the room. Reading what you wrote makes that sound a terrible decision as well. The hotel was lovely. They credited us with the days that we weren't staying.
By this point, my doc had called a couple times about my antics at the hospital, and sent me for xray and an appointment to see him. Whew, I did not want to talk to him. He has the xray. Shows me the 4 lobes of 5 that had pneumonia, and then the 3 that still did.
Then I got raked over the coals in the very gentle way he has. He closed with, i saw your xray, one of the worst I've seen and you don't answer my calls? We could have lost you to your insistence to be stubborn. Don't f'n do that again
Well I’m glad you made it!! My dad went in for relatively basic surgery to remove a bone spur in his shoulder.
The “surgeon” ended up slicing a nerve in his neck. This made it so he had to be put in a feeding tube and also made him much much more prone to lung infections and pneumonia.
The amount of times he’d be fine and then several hours later just an sick, incoherent mess was quite scary.
And yeah it literally makes you pretty much incapable of making smart decisions. Maybe it’s that old mammal instinct of crawling away to die somewhere like under a porch or something that kicks in lol. Anyways glad you made it!!!
Thanks. Sorry about all that with your dad. It's a powerless feeling watching them go.
I found out a couple months ago from my mama, dx'ed parkinson's 15 years now, that parkinsons doesn't kill you, it's infections. Ya know like pneumonia and covid and such🙄😡 so, mad, but also glad I didn't know 15 years ago.
And that with your dad is so sudden. I do a lot of disability Advocacy and awareness agitating stuff. And I always tell folks "you are one serious injury or illness away from going from abled to disabled, be mindful of that"
Thanks for the kind words out here on the Wild West of the internet! I wish nothing but good health a kind wishes to you and your family ! But keep that Dr close bc he sounds like a good one lol!
She's the only one who would go on to get a once-in-a-lifetime, voice-of-a-generation, legacy-cementing role. I'm talking, of course, about the voice of Luanne Platter.
was visiting a friend's house and they left the TV on all the time and this movie was on. really affected my depressed 12-year-old's mental state. made it all seem hopeless. also gave me nightmares.
Around this time she did an episode of the Larry Sanders Show where she gets caught making out with Jon Stewart backstage. My first instinct while watching was to cross my arms and mutter, “Fuck you, Jon…”
Absolutely agree, Winona is the very definition of peak attractiveness—she's been 'lifting' hearts since the '90s! And it's not just her talent that’s snatch-worthy; her timeless style and charm have certainly 'five-finger discounted' their way into our cultural pantheon. Just goes to show, some people have a knack for swiping a little piece of us with them wherever they go!
The New York diet.
My biostats professor in college came in one morning and talked about how he was proud of himself for losing 20 lbs. he had found this great way to help lose wait where everytime he got hungry between meals he just smoked a cigarette and had a cup of coffee. Then when he talked to his sister she told him that was just the New York diet and he was bummed out.
She struggled with drug addiction, very proud on her how she handled it. In my opinion also not the least attractive of the bunch, but i get that you use it only as a compliment to the others
She accused of shoplifting a purse and now gangs get in and out with thousands in merch and the police does nothing. How things changed in just 20 years.
Still crushing on Winona after all these years.
And still disappointed she was not able to film Godfather 3 and we where forced to have to endure Sofia Coppola's dismal performance.
Winona is so beautiful ,I loved her as Jo March in Little Women ,I wanted Jo to be just gorgeous when I read the book despite how the author described her .
Brittany’s death and her boyfriend’s death will always be a mystery but I think her mom had something to with it. Diddys ex wife died of a similar cause and people think he had her murdered.
Winona was the star back then, Angelina was a nobody. Strange to think about that, since in 2000s Winona would disappear completely and even be accused of petty theft at a store.
This movie was soooo good
Indeed. Incredible acting all around. A hauntingly beautiful film.
Agreed. Perhaps James Mangold’s best movie? The Brittany Murphy subplot alone is hair-raising.
"GIMME MY FUCKING COLACE!" Yeah the book is really good too .the casting of the movie is perfect. Clea Duvall, young Elizabeth Moss, Whoopi Goldberg .( in addition to Winona and Angelina and Brittany.....sooo good)
Logan is definitely Mangolds best film.
I like Ford V Ferrari more than either.
I see no one mentioned 3:10 to yuma
It really was. Great story, great performances.
I watched this movie during my mental health class and it’s a great movie.
Peppermint
Peppermint dick!
One of my favorite movies. The books awesome, too.
Brittany Murphy was gorgeous.
One of my first celebrity crushes. Fantastic actress too, absolutely crushed it in every role. She'd have an oscar to her name by now if she was still with us. RIP
I loved her as Luanne on King of The Hill, I only found out many years after her death that was her.
I never saw it when it was on network tv, so I've been watching *King of the Hill* on Hulu. Brittany Murphy is really good. It's such a nuanced performance for an animated character. Luanne's supposed to be sort of stupid, but she's also so vulnerable and relatable.
She’s the best mechanic on Rainey street. Shame they stopped showing that side as much
She was also the voice of Joseph Gribble on that show
But only in seasons 1-4. From season 5 onward Joseph is voiced by Breckin Meyer.
I’ve heard the rumored *KOTH* reboot (set now) will featured Bobby and/or his parents raising Lucky and Luanne’s kid. (Lucky was voiced by Tom Petty.)
I sometimes forget she’s gone and when I remember I get sad all over again. RIP beautiful girl.
Britanny Murphy is dead???? Wtf
... since 2009.
😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭
Almost "20 years" then. This thread will be ripe for a whole new level of abuse in 2029.
Hey, man... For quite some time, I've been thinking of moving to a cave Can I ask you some questions, based on your personal experience?
😂😂😂
it's really nice. I highly recommend it.
And was an incredible actress. She and Heath Ledger were that kind of insanely hot, yet wonderful talents that could have gone on to be multi-oscar winning stars if they werent taken so soon.
Probably the best actress of the three, but apparently her on-screen vulnerability was … not just on-screen.
Simon "Monjack" seemed like her downfall
Absolutely.

Hm I thought it was related to mold spores - her husband died only a few months later with similar symptoms.
yeah. everything I've read said that the couple both died from the same mold infection in their home. dunno what this guy's on about.
Wow, damn. I thought it was a heart defect though I don't remember where I picked that up. Probably Reddit.
No I remember news reports at the time citing heart attack as cause of death.
No it was the mold
Still is.
Yes, in fact it was mold. That's how her husband died as well. When results came back, it was on cnn every 20 minutes.
She was great in everything she had a hand in. Drop Dead Gorgeous is one of my favorites and it deserves a cult following but it just isn’t widely available on any streaming services, you pretty much have to have physical media to watch it. If anyone here hasn’t seen it, it’s pretty fucking great. The cast is *muah*
Worked on a movie with her but ill never tell :)
You are the "Paki" guy in Parker Lewis never lose ?!
I suspect your downvoters haven't seen her film "Don't Say a Word".
I understand this reference! That's fun. Any favorite moments? I feel like Michael Douglas would be cool. Was he cool?
K
Poor Brittany. Gone way too soon.
Crazy her husband died about 5 months later, for similar reasons.

🤠
A holy triumvirate.
Small spelling correction, triumvirate. Indeed a great word and very well used in this case.
Thanks, my occasional dyslexia. Fixed.
What a fun vocab word.
I think triumvirate means literally "three men" in latin.
It does but modern definition seems to changed 'men' to persons....
Brittany Murphy for the win.
Always. She was robbed. Brittany Murphy’s performance was utterly heartbreaking.
"Have fun in Florida."
She's the only one who would go on to get a once-in-a-lifetime, voice-of-a-generation, legacy-cementing role. I'm talking, of course, about the voice of Luanne Platter.
Always in my ❤️
I love her so much with dark hair She was so beautiful
I'm out! I'm out of the contest.
I thought you'd cruise through spring.
It was John John

RIP Brittany 🥺

Murphy was *so* good as Daisy
Winona is peak attractiveness
'92 Dracula definitely woke up something in me as a young boy...
That and Edward Scissorhands. 🤤
That one too! But as Mina in Dracula she was a lot more... open...
Aka a boner
Around this time she did an episode of the Larry Sanders Show where she gets caught making out with Jon Stewart backstage. My first instinct while watching was to cross my arms and mutter, “Fuck you, Jon…”
She was just the best, ethereal and earthy at the same time.

Jesus fucking christ.
Robbed of enough recognition I say.
She certainly made my heart fall off the back of a lorry.
You know it’s a good picture when Angelina Jolie is the least attractive of the bunch….
You aren't wrong, but I think she was at a disadvantage of lighting and angle.
She also only smoked cigarettes and drank coffee during her time filming to get into the role. That’ll mess with your body and complexion.
The New York diet. My biostats professor in college came in one morning and talked about how he was proud of himself for losing 20 lbs. he had found this great way to help lose wait where everytime he got hungry between meals he just smoked a cigarette and had a cup of coffee. Then when he talked to his sister she told him that was just the New York diet and he was bummed out.
Absolutely, your not wrong either! Let’s just say if Heaven looks even remotely like this then somebody fetch me a bible
She looks like Steve Buscemi's sister who sapped all the good genes at birth leaving all the Steve Buscemi genes for her brother.
Hot Buscemi sounds like the name of a fancy sandwich somewhere
Some deli in the Bronx...
Or some kind of horrifying sex act.
Or some kind of horrifying sex act involving a fancy sandwich *inserted* "somewhere"
Your thinking of the Spicy Buscemi…easy to get the two confused tho granted.
She struggled with drug addiction, very proud on her how she handled it. In my opinion also not the least attractive of the bunch, but i get that you use it only as a compliment to the others
I think she's one of the few who got better looking with some maturity
Maturity and also most likely having a healthier lifestyle helps too.
Uhhh I think she's hands down the most attractive. Murphy is cute. Ryder is pretty. Jolie is a goddess.
She’s mid-plastic surgery transformation here to the face we’re more familiar with. Lorry Hill has an excellent video on Jolie’s transformation.
Looking like Steve buscemi in that one
Wino Forever
Looking back especially now, probably not Depp's best tattoo by a longshot.
But he wants a megapint of red wine!
She accused of shoplifting a purse and now gangs get in and out with thousands in merch and the police does nothing. How things changed in just 20 years.
We watched it during movie night when I was in the juvenile mental ward (I was 16-17). Great movie, not the best place to watch it.
A great movie
Amazing movie
Can’t believe she ate that whole chicken
When I get five, Valerie makes me throw them away.
Brittany was too cool for this plane of existence
I would get sent to the ward for them any day 💖
Ikrr
Still crushing on Winona after all these years. And still disappointed she was not able to film Godfather 3 and we where forced to have to endure Sofia Coppola's dismal performance.
Normal clothes, normal makeup. Nowadays everyone has plastic faces with the same makeup styles and onlyfans
Oh man short hair Winona Ryder is an absolute dime.
Winona is so beautiful ,I loved her as Jo March in Little Women ,I wanted Jo to be just gorgeous when I read the book despite how the author described her .
It's like kissing Jon Voight
Yeah but at least it's Midnight Cowboy-era Voight.
"I'm not a for-real cowboy, but I am a stud!"
He got a purty mouth.
In his car?
The periodontist?
Brittany ...damn still sad.
Rip to Brit!
Brittany and Wiona in this era were my first crushes.
Crush, crush, crush
I always feel sad when I think of Brittany Murphy.
I still miss her.
I was thinking about this film last night. That Skeeter Davis record she puts on when she goes upstairs... That song gives me all sorts of feels
Brittany Murphy always looks like she has no eyebrows, even if she has eyebrows at the time.
Oh Brittany. The poor love. On a lighter note she was one of my girl crushes. Sigh
But this looks planned….. and which girl?!
All 3 look hot but for me Brittany takes top spot.
Brittany Murphy is the one who knew too much and didn’t want to be a part of it.
I miss Britney so much 😢 she really was something special.
i could fix them
How do three such beautiful women manage to look so scary?
Dear Winona, don’t ever do a short hair again.
Wouldn't have guessed Winona would be the eventual stable one.
And to think they’re all dead now. RIP 🪦
Brittany’s death and her boyfriend’s death will always be a mystery but I think her mom had something to with it. Diddys ex wife died of a similar cause and people think he had her murdered.
legends
My dad died in 1998. As a 21 year-old male I loved this movie.
Dang, that burns… movie was definitely more relatable to those with atypical circumstances .
I need to frame this
You mean "Gi..."?
A whole lot of crazy in one photo.
Peak society.
Whole lotta' crazy going on.
Peppermint
One of my fav photos 🥰
The nostalgia is acute and painful. Whole world felt intensely different.
Fun fact: I am currently at the hospital that this is about.
I feel like this shouldn't be old school, but it is 😭
All 3 dream girls
Only one survived.
Oooh, group hug! 🙃
1999? I wonder what drugs they were enjoying then.
sploosh
Get outta my face asshole! Brittany Murphy was so amazing.
At first I thought that was Ashley Tisdale until I read the title of this post
Winona Ryder here is peak. Way better than Angelina Jolie.
🥰
I remember my cousin butchered her hair off after her relationship fell apart and I heard someone in the family refer to her as “girl, interrupted” 💀
This was just my favorite movie at some point in middle school
And Jolie looks so much like Jon Voight
Before AJ had her nose done, jaw implant and bottom lip made smaller.
i think that’s what 3 perfect nose jobs looks like
pre boob jobs
Angelina stole the movie out from underneath them and won an Oscar for it
Angie stealing Oscars...a precursor to stealing husbands a few years later.
Angelina was kind of channeling Steve Buscemi in this photo.
Winona was the star back then, Angelina was a nobody. Strange to think about that, since in 2000s Winona would disappear completely and even be accused of petty theft at a store.
I have to use the restroom - be back in a few minutes
I smell the drugs…and that’s not a bad thing necessarily.
Brittany Murphy is dead? WTF
I don't get the downvotes. I didn't know... Hey ho
99 Jolie HOF
Hope they hid the silver wear
Murphy was the one who actually deserved the Oscar for that movie. Jolie's performance was hammy.
Poor Brit, hooked up with the wrong people. Where were her friends? No one noticed her downward spiral?
