Product Description
Brittany Murphy has always been a performer. As a two-year-old tot, she put on little shows for her parents. When she was a student at Herbert Hoover Middle School in Edison, New Jersey, she sang in Les Miserables. By the time she was thirteen, she had moved to Los Angeles and was filming commercials and starring in sitcoms. Brittany got her first break in the movies at age eighteen playing Tai in Clueless, and she has never looked back. With over 60 movie and television credits to her name, Brittany believes that the love and support she receives from her mother not only helped her get a start in show business, it has also shaped her into one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood today. ...

Murphy's Law
After reviewing NEVERWAS, a 2005 Brittany Murphy vehicle, I got a little note from Amazon suggesting that if I liked watching Brittany Murphy as a hard-hitting journalist nursing an ugly little secret (which I didn't), I might enjoy this book so I said, well maybe.When the book came I was surprised to find out it was for children in grades 1 to 4, with a second grade reading level.

I don't know about you when but when I was in grade 1 we never had books about people like Brittany Murphy, but apparently this is just one in a series of biographies for kids, about people kids like, including Alex Rodriguez, Dr. Seuss, Jamie Lynn Spears, Tony Hawk, Dakota Fanning and Jesse McCartney.They call these books "Robbie Readers," I can't figure out why.Maybe a little boy Robbie, perhaps the son of the publisher, picks out the topics and then they farm them out to adults to actually do the writing?I'm going to try to read more of these books, not because this one was so great, I just like the idea of being able to read a whole book in under five minutes.Lavishly illustrated with cute pictures of Brittany, the bio gives us a sanitized version of her strange and difficult road to the top, which included leaving her mother behind in New Jersey when she was 13 to seek fame in LA.Thoughtfully the book defines its terms well."Los Angeles is a city in California where there are many acting jobs."Yes, and Brittany Murphy took most of them or so it seems from the lengthy filmography included at the back of the book.

Brittany was reunited with her mother (Sharon, who deserves a book of her own) at a later date, and helped see Sharon through a bout of cancer.She's a helper at heart.Her affair with uber-toothsome Ashton Kutcher is mentioned, but not her reputation for being the girlfriend from hell.If all Robbie Readers are as interesting I'm going to ask for that operation where I could be a kid again, playing on the playground and then reading my hardcover life of Mia Hamm for inspiration.Plus I have to find out how the author of "Jamie Lynn Spears" handles Miss Spears' recent pregnancy at age 16.Pro or con? ...

She has worked in films and television since 1969, and won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the 1995 film Dead Man Walking. She was nominated for the award for four films before that, and has received other recognition for her work. She is also noted for her social and political activism for a variety of liberal causes. Sarandon, the eldest of nine children in a Roman Catholic family, was born as Susan Abigail Tomalin in New York City, the daughter of Leonora Marie (née Criscione) and Phillip Leslie Tomalin, who worked as an advertising executive, television producer, and nightclub singer during the big band era. Sarandon's father was of English, Irish, and Welsh ancestry, and her Italian American mother's ancestors emigrated from the regions of Tuscany and Sicily. In 2006, Sarandon and 10 of her relatives (including her then-partner Tim Robbins and her son Miles) traveled to Wales to trace her family's Welsh genealogy. Their journey was documented by the BBC Wales program, Coming Home: Susan Sarandon. Sarandon grew up in Edison, New Jersey, where she graduated from Edison High School in 1964.
