Like many actresses, Brittany Murphy started her career as a child. She started out at the age of 14, on the Fox sitcom, Drexell’s Class. Murphy played Brenda Drexell, who was the daughter of Mr. Drexell. She then got a part in the movie Clueless, as the new girl at Cher and Dionne’s school.

Then I’m going to move to Los Angeles, be in movies in Hollywood and then come back and do Broadway. Then I’ll probably have a huge musical career. I am going to change the world.” These are the words that she said to a television station when she was younger. Brittany Murphy was hardly around her father, but her mother on the other hand, they were close as could be. Angelo Bertolotti, Murphy’s father, was in and out of jail all of Brittany’s life. She tried to keep him a secret. Sharon Murphy, mother, and Bertolotti were once married, but divorced when Brittany was a toddler, so Brittany took her mothers last name.
