Brittany Murphy to Receive 2-Part HBO Max Documentary

HBO Max has been working extensively on a documentary on the late actress Brittany Murphy. Having had a career where she started in movies such as Girl, Interrupted, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Just Married, Uptown Girls, and Happy Feet, she seemed to be on a path to become one of the most celebrated actors in Hollywood.

Her work in timeless classics such as 8 Mile & Clueless stands out the most. While she was on a path to success, she was constantly bothered by the paparazzies and the tabloids that would say anything and everything to get some stories. She fought back with them a lot in order to maintain her privacy and image.

When the actress was suddenly declared dead after being rushed to the Cedars-Sinni hospital, it was unbelievable at first. Further examination is definitely needed, so HBO has taken to producing the documentary. Blumhouse Television and Pyramid Productions are collaborating with HBO Max on working with the project.

As per the documentary’s official description on the platform, it reads “presents an in-depth, intimate character portrait exploring the life and career and mysterious circumstances surrounding the tragic death of ’90s actress and rising star, Brittany Murphy.“

Cynthia Hill, the director who’s leading the project, said that her idea of a Brittany Murphy documentary is to celebrate an actor rather than let the conditions of her death dominate everything who her life had meant.

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.

While the documentary will be a meditation on the life of Brittany Murphy, there has been a lot of subject matter in the documentary genre that reveals just how badly Hollywood treats female celebrities. Perhaps we might get to see into what that struggle felt like for Brittany Murphy.
