She gets a biopic? She was known for Clueless.

Not like there was some incredible talent that died. No offense.

I've only watched her in Clueless,Little Black Book and 8 Mile. Of course you will be underrated if you can't bring in an audience for a movie. She was never a lead actress but supporting cast. She had plenty of opportunities but couldn't get people in the seats. She was entertaining as a supporting actress but she couldn't carry a movie on her own.

The few minutes I watched of that movie seemed like a parody. She seems to play the same character in every movie. She was given numerous chances at being a leading lady but he couldn't carry a movie. I've watched movies and didn't even notice she was in them as supporting cast before seeing her filmography or someone mentioning it. She's doesn't stand out for a leading lady.

I can't think of anyone who was more different in every movie.
She was given numerous chances at being a leading lady but he couldn't carry a movie
NUMEROUS chances - really?
The fact that she DIDN'T play the same character in every movie counted against her getting leading roles. Industry suits aren't keen on chameleons as a general rule.
The thing about Britt was she did tend to somewhat "carry" a movie without necessarily having masssive screen time. Her performances in "Don't Say A Word" and "Girl Interrupted" spring to mind -

Jolie gets the glory & recognition because she has the best lines, but that scene would be severely undermined without Britt's performance being as good as it was. -

She has a lot of fans. I felt like I grew up with her because she just happened to be in all of my childhood and teen movies. It probably doesn't effect someone as much who either wasn't into her type of films or who wasn't a teen during the highlights of her career.
There is also so much controversy and conspiracy surrounding her death, that it is more than just the traditional "drug overdose" death that most young stars seem to have. -

You are so wrong it's laughable. Talent and being able to generate box office revenue do not always go together. Cameron Diaz isn't a brilliant actor, nor is Tom Cruise, but they have always been very bankable and not because of their acting ability, but because they have grossed millions. Being able to get people in seats has nothing to do with talent.
Look at actors like Cate Blanchett, Sissy Spacek, Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, Julianne Moore, Phillip Seymour Hofman, Daniel Day Lewis. They've never been huge box office draws, but they are/were some of the most talented people in the industry. It's because they don't make films that appeal to EVERYBODY, like Cruise, Adam Sandler, Diaz, Katherine Heigl, Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts et al., who probably pick movies like action flicks or rom-coms because they know those types of films have huge audiences and they are worried more about their salary than the film itself.
You should listen more to what the critics say and less to what audiences see. Casual audiences, most of the time, would have no idea what a good film is if it hit them in the face. So in defence of Brittany Murphy, just because she wasn't a "leading lady' (a bogus and pathetic term), doesn't mean she couldn't act. -

Actually Alicia Silverstone had a mile success ( was also the most known one since "the Crush" after Clueless. I would say that out of the whole movie the two most claim to fame from that movie were Paul Rudd and Brittany Murphy.
