Clueless Star: I Saw Brittany Murphy Wasn't Healthy
21 Sep
Summary
- Elisa Donovan saw Brittany Murphy's knees buckling at GLAAD Awards.
- Murphy's death was ruled accidental, but sparked speculation.
- Donovan suspected eating disorder and drug issues in Murphy.
Elisa Donovan, who starred alongside Brittany Murphy in "Clueless," expressed that she was not surprised by the actress's death. Donovan recalled witnessing concerning signs in Murphy during their last interaction at the GLAAD Awards in 2005, noting her physical instability.
Donovan observed Murphy's knees buckling and legs shaking, leading her to believe the actress was "not healthy" and suspected an eating disorder and drug problem. Despite these observations, Donovan felt too distant to intervene in Murphy's personal life.
Murphy passed away at 32 in December 2009 from pneumonia, anemia, and drug intoxication. Her husband's death the following year from similar causes intensified speculation surrounding the circumstances. Donovan maintains that Murphy's health decline was the primary factor in her death.
