Just re-watched Baby Manger Einstein and wow, such a performance - there's the soft side with Luanne playing with Gracie at the end, the sadness when Dale destroys her puppets and her terrifying outbursts at Bobby... such a bittersweet experience compared to when I saw it the other day; seriously, what a talented girl.

Actress Britney Murphy Dead

The news story I read this morning quoted her family as saying she has had "flu like" symptoms for the last week. Who knows, could have been H1N1 influenza. Why do so many people chime in with drug overdose when the person who dies is an actor? I readily admit I am no big fan of the so-called celebraties in Hollywwod, but I really don't understand the speed at which so many people will jump on the overdose bandwagon. Cut her family and friends some slack people. I lost a good friend to a heart attack when we were both in our twenties. No drugs involved, just a bad heart no one knew about. 
^^^ I think you are right that people are quick to jump to conclusions when it comes to an actor's death. However, Brittany Murphy had a history of drug problems. Until the autopsy is complete and toxicology reports are released it's all speculation, but I'll admit that my mind first jumped to a possible overdose scenario as well. Sad, no matter how she may have went.

It always seems to come out that prematurely-dead celebrities were using illegal drugs or a cocktail of prescription drugs. Just appears to be common.
