At the 15th anniversary of actress Brittany Murphy’s death, her co-star from her last film is reminiscing about working with her.
Katie O’Grady starred in Murphy’s final film Something Wicked and says the Just Married star was like “a little bird you wanted to be around and you wanted to help.”
Murphy tragically died on December 20, 2009, at her home after rumors that she suffered from an eating disorder and addiction.
Katie said the actress visibly struggled filming her last movie and the cast and crew tried to be “soft” with her as she looked “frail” and was seemingly “going through a hard time.”
She added to People magazine: “She made moments and she created moments with everybody that she met to the best of her ability that she could with the energy that she had.”
Murphy’s fans have long suspected foul play in her death, after her husband Simon Monjack debunked rumors of he having an eating disorder or struggling with drug abuse.
The LA coroner however ruled the 8 Mile star’s cause of death to be pneumonia and drug intoxication, with contribution from iron deficiency anemia. Murphy’s husband also died in 2010.
