Rueben's Ramblings

The Lifetime biopic The Brittany Murphy Story will debut on September 6 at 8 PM.

Amanda Fuller (Last Man Standing and Grey’s Anatomy) will portray Brittany Murphy, with Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks and Ray Donovan) set to play her mother, Sharon Murphy. The movie will recount the story of Brittany’s younger years, including her mother’s efforts to turn her talented daughter into a star in the 1980s and ’90s, leading up to her unexpected death.

NOTE: I’m not really sure why they are making the movie run like a murder mystery rather than a story about her life and tragic death.
