Watch Brittany Murphy sing in behind-the-scenes footage from 2009’s ‘Across the Hall,’ her final film before her death
Fifteen years after Brittany Murphy's tragic death, Across the Hall director Alex Merkin reminisced about their days on the set of what would be the star's final film.
“She would be trying to lighten up the crew, brightening up the space around her,” Merkin exclusively recalled in Us’ latest cover story. “She had a completely infectious laugh. She had a timeless, classic quality; she was a true movie star. And that talent was lost.” Murphy died in December 2009 following complications from pneumonia, anemia and multiple drug intoxication. Her death was ruled as “accidental.” Murphy had been married to screenwriter Simon Monjack at the time of her passing. He died of similar circumstances five months later at age 40.“She had a beautiful voice and she was always singing right before the takes. Just serenading the set. I can still hear her voice,” the director told Us.
