What Happened, Brittany Murphy? HBO Max

  • A deep-dive into the life…upcoming “It Girl”
  • Similar beats to the FreeBritney Movement
  • Her suspicious death in 2009
  • Suspicious husband – Simon Monjack, screenwriter
    • NEWSWEEK ARTICLE:
      The two-part series is directed by Emmy nominee Cynthia Hill, who said in a statement when the project was announced in March 2021: “I agreed to do this film because I think it’s a shame that Brittany’s promising life and career has been eclipsed by the circumstances of her death. I think it’s important to celebrate Brittany’s talent as we struggle to explain the tragic circumstances of her and Simon’s deaths.”
    • Jennifer O’Connell, executive vice president of live-action family programming at HBO Max, added: “Our Brittany Murphy documentary cuts through the tabloid noise with an elevated, nuanced depiction of a sensational story. Crafting a grounded account of Brittany Murphy’s life struggles and sudden passing comes with great responsibility and we’ve partnered with a masterful creative team to produce a thoughtful examination of a tragedy that has long been cause for speculation.”
