Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:56,816 --> 00:01:59,285
- This room
is a personal favorite of mine.
2
00:01:59,352 --> 00:02:01,454
Everything in here is original,
3
00:02:01,521 --> 00:02:03,590
preserved in time.
4
00:02:03,656 --> 00:02:08,027
You'll be joining some
very distinguished company.
5
00:02:08,127 --> 00:02:09,496
- I bet.
6
00:02:09,596 --> 00:02:13,666
- Some of the first guests
at the Riverview were
7
00:02:13,766 --> 00:02:16,436
numerous celebrities
8
00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:19,139
and movie stars.
9
00:02:20,507 --> 00:02:21,875
- Like who?
10
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:25,445
I'm not at liberty
to divulge their names,
11
00:02:25,512 --> 00:02:27,347
but rest assured,
12
00:02:27,447 --> 00:02:30,884
the names would impress you.
13
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:33,153
- I'm sure.
14
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:37,557
Thank you
for the history lesson.
15
00:02:37,657 --> 00:02:40,026
- You're welcome.
16
00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:44,631
- Actress Brittany Murphy,
17
00:02:44,697 --> 00:02:46,799
who began her career
in the early 1990s
18
00:02:46,866 --> 00:02:48,735
and became well-known
for her roles
19
00:02:48,835 --> 00:02:52,038
in "Girl, Interrupted,"
"Clueless," and "8 Mile,"
20
00:02:52,138 --> 00:02:53,840
has died at the age of 32.
21
00:02:53,907 --> 00:02:56,743
She was pronounced dead
at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
22
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:58,378
just after 10:00 a.m.
23
00:03:12,825 --> 00:03:15,495

24
00:03:15,562 --> 00:03:18,331

- Take three, mark.
34
00:03:52,098 --> 00:03:53,533
- Thank you.
35
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,767
Good? Okay.
36
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:56,436
Here's something
I just want to say,
37
00:03:56,536 --> 00:03:59,205
'cause I want
to make sure we get it in.
38
00:03:59,272 --> 00:04:01,474
I know people always say,
"I don't want blah, blah,
39
00:04:01,574 --> 00:04:04,043
remembered for blah, blah,
what happened to them."
40
00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:07,046
But, like, all of us agree
41
00:04:07,113 --> 00:04:10,817
that one of the most
painful things about this,
42
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:13,286
other than losing a life
way too soon
43
00:04:13,386 --> 00:04:17,257
and for such
egregiously wrong reasons,
44
00:04:17,323 --> 00:04:21,928
is that
Brittany was so wonderful.
45
00:04:21,995 --> 00:04:24,397
Like, there was
nobody else like her.
46
00:04:26,799 --> 00:04:29,302
She wasn't a Hollywood girl.
47
00:04:29,402 --> 00:04:32,438
The movie of her life is like...
Who walks into a room
48
00:04:32,505 --> 00:04:34,140
and almost every
single person there
49
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,976
is thrilled that you're there
and then knows
50
00:04:37,076 --> 00:04:39,679
that when she leaves the room
and goes home,
51
00:04:39,779 --> 00:04:43,082
she's the same freaking person
52
00:04:43,149 --> 00:04:45,652
in the movie of her life?
53
00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:50,857
- It's weird
'cause stuff happens,
54
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:52,997
and you don't really notice it
while it's happening.
55
00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:54,927
Life is sort of passing by.
56
00:05:02,101 --> 00:05:03,670
- Media and paparazzi
57
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:06,105
surrounded Brittany Murphy's
Hollywood Hills home
58
00:05:06,172 --> 00:05:08,341
that she shared with her
husband of nearly three years,
59
00:05:08,441 --> 00:05:10,677
British screenwriter
Simon Monjack.
60
00:05:10,777 --> 00:05:12,312
The world is stunned by the loss
61
00:05:12,378 --> 00:05:16,049
of the seemingly healthy,
young actress.
62
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:17,517
- I got a call from my editor.
63
00:05:17,617 --> 00:05:19,185
He said,
"Brittany Murphy's died.
64
00:05:19,285 --> 00:05:21,187
"Get over to her house
immediately."
65
00:05:21,287 --> 00:05:23,022
You know, "Get the scoop."
66
00:05:23,122 --> 00:05:25,191
When I got there,
I can remember, like, barely
67
00:05:25,291 --> 00:05:26,893
having anywhere to park my car
68
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:29,862
because there were so many
reporters and paparazzi
69
00:05:29,962 --> 00:05:32,198
all just at the foot
of her driveway,
70
00:05:32,298 --> 00:05:35,301
waiting, hoping that maybe
her husband would come out.
71
00:05:37,503 --> 00:05:40,707
I'd never heard of him
before he married Brittany
72
00:05:40,807 --> 00:05:42,709
and barely even after
he married Brittany.
73
00:05:42,809 --> 00:05:44,243
They weren't
the Hollywood couple
74
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:46,713
that was photographed out
at dinner all the time.
75
00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:48,181
They were never out.
76
00:05:48,247 --> 00:05:50,383
He was mysterious
in the way of, like,
77
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:51,751
"Who are you?"
78
00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:53,128
But we didn't know
what happened.
79
00:05:53,152 --> 00:05:55,655
All we knew is that this young
80
00:05:55,722 --> 00:05:57,490
32-year-old Hollywood starlet
81
00:05:57,557 --> 00:05:59,392
had suddenly died.
82
00:05:59,492 --> 00:06:00,993
- It came across my newsfeed...
83
00:06:01,060 --> 00:06:02,895
"Brittany Murphy dies
at 32 years old."
84
00:06:02,995 --> 00:06:04,897
And I was like, "What?"
85
00:06:04,997 --> 00:06:07,266
- Today I'm going to be
telling you guys
86
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:08,534
about a true crime story
87
00:06:08,601 --> 00:06:10,236
that I am really interested in,
88
00:06:10,336 --> 00:06:12,071
as well as doing my makeup.
89
00:06:12,171 --> 00:06:14,574
- Could have Brittany Murphy's
death been prevented?
90
00:06:14,674 --> 00:06:16,008
Absolutely.
91
00:06:16,075 --> 00:06:20,179
- She was dealing
with an eating disorder.
92
00:06:20,246 --> 00:06:22,915
- Everybody thought, like,
"Did she overdose?"
93
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:25,918
- This shady business guy
that Brittany married,
94
00:06:26,018 --> 00:06:27,687
something freaky happened.
95
00:06:27,754 --> 00:06:30,623
That could mean
that she was being poisoned.
96
00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:33,359
- The FBI was watching them.
97
00:06:33,426 --> 00:06:34,627
- Is the house cursed?
98
00:06:34,727 --> 00:06:37,764
- I called it.
I knew she was murdered.
99
00:06:37,864 --> 00:06:40,933
- Brittany Murphy...
What could have happened?
100
00:06:41,033 --> 00:06:43,269
- Speculation's mounting
about the sudden death
101
00:06:43,369 --> 00:06:45,204
of actress Brittany Murphy.
102
00:06:45,271 --> 00:06:47,640
Ed Winter is
the assistant chief coroner.
103
00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:49,308
- We're conducting
an investigation
104
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:51,444
into the death
of Brittany Murphy.
105
00:06:54,046 --> 00:06:55,615
My name is Ed Winter.
106
00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:58,651
I oversaw the high-profile
celebrity deaths,
107
00:06:58,751 --> 00:07:01,621
including Brittany Murphy's.
108
00:07:01,721 --> 00:07:05,458
We responded to the residence,
to her next of kin,
109
00:07:05,558 --> 00:07:09,495
her husband, Simon,
and Brittany's mother, Sharon.
110
00:07:09,595 --> 00:07:11,597
Sharon was sitting on the couch,
111
00:07:11,664 --> 00:07:13,566
and she'd cry a little bit,
and then she'd stop,
112
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:15,802
and she'd talk with Simon
or say something
113
00:07:15,902 --> 00:07:18,638
and then start crying again.
114
00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:22,074
Simon appeared to be
somewhat under the influence,
115
00:07:22,141 --> 00:07:23,476
just pacing around,
116
00:07:23,576 --> 00:07:25,411
and he maybe
wasn't totally coherent.
117
00:07:25,478 --> 00:07:27,113
There were several
little indicators
118
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,081
that just didn't feel right,
you know?
119
00:07:29,148 --> 00:07:32,652
You get that... the hair on the
back of your neck stands up,
120
00:07:32,752 --> 00:07:34,620
and it's like, "What?"
121
00:07:36,989 --> 00:07:39,759
They basically said
that they were up late.
122
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:41,594
She had flu-like symptoms.
123
00:07:41,661 --> 00:07:45,097
They'd been in Puerto Rico
two weeks earlier.
124
00:07:45,164 --> 00:07:49,302
And when they were there,
she became ill.
125
00:07:49,368 --> 00:07:52,472
In the morning,
Brittany went in the bathroom,
126
00:07:52,538 --> 00:07:54,040
and after a short time,
127
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:56,309
Sharon discovered her
unresponsive
128
00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:58,644
on the bathroom floor.
129
00:07:58,711 --> 00:08:01,814
They carried her into the shower
130
00:08:01,881 --> 00:08:03,516
and turned on cold water
131
00:08:03,616 --> 00:08:05,551
to see if they could revive her.
132
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:08,354
There was a delay to start CPR.
133
00:08:08,454 --> 00:08:11,023
What's going on?
Why did it get that far?
134
00:08:11,123 --> 00:08:13,059
And if she's sick,
why didn't somebody
135
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:15,828
pick up the phone
or make arrangements?
136
00:08:15,895 --> 00:08:18,197
Come on, something isn't right.
137
00:08:18,297 --> 00:08:20,166
We'll be doing an autopsy.
138
00:08:20,233 --> 00:08:22,201
The final results will be
139
00:08:22,301 --> 00:08:25,538
pending toxicology
and further tests.
140
00:08:27,206 --> 00:08:30,076
- The chatter among us
was overdose.
141
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:33,212
I mean, it seemed like
the only logical thing
142
00:08:33,312 --> 00:08:35,748
for someone that young
in Hollywood.
143
00:08:35,848 --> 00:08:39,886
Brittany had changed
physically noticeably.
144
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:41,420
She was much thinner.
145
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,323
We thought,
"Well, she went too far."
146
00:08:45,658 --> 00:08:49,762
I kind of fucked it up.
147
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:03,652
- Good afternoon, everybody.
148
00:09:03,676 --> 00:09:05,211
My name is Ryk Schoonhiem,
149
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:06,946
and here we are
at the 27th annual
150
00:09:07,046 --> 00:09:08,681
Metuchen Country Fair.
151
00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:11,784
This is "Metuchen on the Air."
152
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:13,395
Excuse me?
- Would you like a children's...
153
00:09:13,419 --> 00:09:14,763
- Yes, I would like
a children's perspective.
154
00:09:14,787 --> 00:09:15,922
- Great.
155
00:09:16,022 --> 00:09:17,262
- What is your name?
- Brittany.
156
00:09:17,356 --> 00:09:18,700
- Brittany, how you doing
today, Brittany?
157
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:20,092
- Great, how are you?
- Very good.
158
00:09:20,192 --> 00:09:21,503
You want a job hosting
a television show?
159
00:09:21,527 --> 00:09:22,895
- Sure.
- How about you interview
160
00:09:22,962 --> 00:09:25,698
these people over here?
- Okay, sure.
161
00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:27,867
Hi, do you like
the fair here today?
162
00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:29,368
- Yeah.
- What's your name?
163
00:09:29,435 --> 00:09:30,536
- Carissa.
164
00:09:30,603 --> 00:09:32,071
- Where are you from?
- Edison.
165
00:09:32,138 --> 00:09:33,739
- You're from Edison.
Oh, my goodness.
166
00:09:33,806 --> 00:09:35,274
How old are you?
- 11.
167
00:09:35,374 --> 00:09:37,944
- Why are you here
at the fair today?
168
00:09:38,044 --> 00:09:38,945
- 'Cause it's fun.
169
00:09:39,045 --> 00:09:41,080
- Nice talking with you.
170
00:09:41,147 --> 00:09:43,149
- Give us your name,
and what school do you go to?
171
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:45,618
Hi, my name is Brittany Murphy,
172
00:09:45,718 --> 00:09:47,787
and I go to
Herbert Hoover Middle School.
173
00:09:49,622 --> 00:09:51,424
Thank you.
174
00:09:55,995 --> 00:09:58,631
We're gonna be friends.
175
00:09:58,731 --> 00:10:00,833
Okay?
176
00:10:00,933 --> 00:10:03,603
- Grown-ups never stay friends
with kids.
177
00:10:05,571 --> 00:10:09,275
- I don't see
any grown-ups around here.
178
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:12,778
- You raised her
as a single mom?
179
00:10:12,845 --> 00:10:13,846
- Yes, yeah.
180
00:10:13,946 --> 00:10:15,815
- What happened to her dad?
181
00:10:15,915 --> 00:10:18,517
- He was never around.
It was just us.
182
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,119
- So she had no father
growing up?
183
00:10:20,186 --> 00:10:21,654
- No, not at all.
184
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,623
- Did she always
want to be in show business?
185
00:10:23,689 --> 00:10:25,257
- Yes, she started, you know,
186
00:10:25,324 --> 00:10:27,827
in dance school and
musical comedy classes
187
00:10:27,927 --> 00:10:29,362
when she was little
188
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:31,530
because she always had
so much energy,
189
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:35,368
and she just came out of me
a show person.
190
00:10:37,336 --> 00:10:40,940
- My name is Really Rosie!
191
00:10:41,007 --> 00:10:44,143
♪ I'm Really Rosie ♪
192
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:46,545
- Well, I have a bunch of photos
193
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:49,448
of our production
of "Really Rosie."
194
00:10:49,515 --> 00:10:52,618
She was so spectacular
in this show.
195
00:10:52,685 --> 00:10:53,819
My name is John Menter,
196
00:10:53,886 --> 00:10:55,187
and I was Brittany Murphy's
197
00:10:55,287 --> 00:10:57,623
earliest acting coach/director.
198
00:10:57,690 --> 00:10:59,158
We had an audition.
199
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:02,361
In walked Sharon
and little Brittany Murphy.
200
00:11:02,461 --> 00:11:04,664
They were an hour late,
maybe even more so.
201
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:07,533
When she came in, you know,
"My name is Brittany Murphy,"
202
00:11:07,633 --> 00:11:10,870
and, you know,
she handed us the head shot.
203
00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:12,614
And they were like,
"Can we still audition?"
204
00:11:12,638 --> 00:11:14,707
We said, "Yeah, sure.
Go on, you know, audition."
205
00:11:14,807 --> 00:11:16,308
So she sang her song,
206
00:11:16,375 --> 00:11:19,812
and it's that look towards
the other people like,
207
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:21,814
"We have someone
very rare here."
208
00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:23,549
And the rest is history.
209
00:11:23,649 --> 00:11:26,252
- How old are you?
- I'm ten years old.
210
00:11:27,486 --> 00:11:28,821
- Where's this all leading?
211
00:11:28,888 --> 00:11:31,891
- Broadway or Hollywood.
- Both.
212
00:11:31,991 --> 00:11:34,827
First, I wanted to get
into Broadway, then Hollywood.
213
00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:37,730
And then I just want to do
a bunch of things.
214
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:41,200
- This is a really cute
picture of Britt.
215
00:11:41,267 --> 00:11:44,070
She's waving to me.
216
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:45,271
- I'm Kelley Faulkner,
217
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:47,239
and I met Brittany
when I was 11,
218
00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:49,909
doing a play together
in New Jersey.
219
00:11:50,009 --> 00:11:52,411
- And I'm Kelly's mom,
Marti Faulkner,
220
00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:56,282
and Sharon and I became
very good friends.
221
00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:58,184
Lovely people.
222
00:11:58,250 --> 00:12:00,286
I'm gonna tear up...
223
00:12:00,386 --> 00:12:02,088
Because Brittany never said
224
00:12:02,188 --> 00:12:05,524
an unkind word
about anybody, ever.
225
00:12:05,591 --> 00:12:09,028
She was very funny,
really funny.
226
00:12:09,095 --> 00:12:11,097
She made me laugh a lot.
227
00:12:11,197 --> 00:12:14,133
- We just really loved
each other fiercely.
228
00:12:14,233 --> 00:12:17,203
She had a really naturally
bright and bubbly personality,
229
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:19,638
and it was completely genuine.
230
00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:22,908
One night, she got
to the second verse
231
00:12:22,975 --> 00:12:26,145
and just completely blanked
and forgot the words.
232
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:30,449
She launched into
a fully improvised dance break
233
00:12:30,549 --> 00:12:32,618
with high kicks and pirouettes
234
00:12:32,718 --> 00:12:34,420
and then just finished the song.
235
00:12:34,487 --> 00:12:36,055
It really summed up
236
00:12:36,122 --> 00:12:37,823
exactly who she was
as a performer,
237
00:12:37,923 --> 00:12:41,160
which was fearless
and in the moment.
238
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:42,795
- A lot of people say,
"Oh, I bet you
239
00:12:42,895 --> 00:12:44,563
her mother pushed her
into showbiz."
240
00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:46,065
And I would say,
"Absolutely not."
241
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:47,933
I really felt
that it was something
242
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,969
that Brittany wanted to do.
243
00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:53,639
Brittany definitely maxed out
in New Jersey.
244
00:12:53,739 --> 00:12:56,275
Sharon asked Brittany, you know,
245
00:12:56,342 --> 00:12:58,944
"Is this something
you really want to pursue?"
246
00:12:59,011 --> 00:13:00,446
And Brittany said, yes, she did,
247
00:13:00,513 --> 00:13:01,914
and then Sharon said, "Okay,
248
00:13:01,981 --> 00:13:04,316
"I'm gonna leave my job
here in New Jersey,
249
00:13:04,416 --> 00:13:06,786
and we're gonna
move to California."
250
00:13:15,027 --> 00:13:17,630
- Family and friends
of actress Brittany Murphy
251
00:13:17,696 --> 00:13:19,832
arrived
at a Los Angeles cemetery
252
00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:21,500
for a private funeral.
253
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,636
A friend who eulogized
the actress
254
00:13:23,702 --> 00:13:25,271
said Murphy loved Christmas
255
00:13:25,337 --> 00:13:27,206
and noted the irony
of her being buried
256
00:13:27,306 --> 00:13:28,607
on Christmas Eve.
257
00:13:31,310 --> 00:13:33,512
- We scheduled the funeral
for a certain time
258
00:13:33,612 --> 00:13:35,347
so it would be over
and people wouldn't be
259
00:13:35,447 --> 00:13:37,716
walking around in the dark.
260
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:40,619
But the lights of Burbank
261
00:13:40,686 --> 00:13:42,822
started just to twinkle
262
00:13:42,888 --> 00:13:44,623
ever so slightly,
263
00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:47,359
and day turned to night.
264
00:13:47,459 --> 00:13:49,461
There was a beauty to it.
265
00:13:53,199 --> 00:13:54,466
- I'm Sara Hammel,
266
00:13:54,533 --> 00:13:56,802
and I was working
in "People" magazine's
267
00:13:56,869 --> 00:13:59,905
Los Angeles bureau
when Brittany Murphy died.
268
00:14:00,005 --> 00:14:02,875
My job was to find out
what she'd been up to
269
00:14:02,975 --> 00:14:05,377
in her last days,
talk to people who knew her.
270
00:14:05,477 --> 00:14:07,379
What could have gone wrong?
What happened?
271
00:14:07,479 --> 00:14:09,181
You would hear
some different stories,
272
00:14:09,248 --> 00:14:12,718
but the one story
that remained consistent
273
00:14:12,818 --> 00:14:14,887
was that Simon Monjack
was bad for her.
274
00:14:17,056 --> 00:14:20,226
She first met him in 2006.
275
00:14:20,326 --> 00:14:23,395
He was known as a writer.
276
00:14:23,495 --> 00:14:25,164
He was always in the background,
277
00:14:25,231 --> 00:14:27,142
and we were always sort of
interested in Brittany Murphy,
278
00:14:27,166 --> 00:14:28,701
but once they got married,
279
00:14:28,767 --> 00:14:32,538
they were holed up
in that house 24-7.
280
00:14:33,839 --> 00:14:36,342
- So it was very interesting
when Simon Monjack
281
00:14:36,408 --> 00:14:37,710
came on to the scene
282
00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:40,112
because nobody
was really aware of him
283
00:14:40,212 --> 00:14:42,414
until they were aware
of him, right?
284
00:14:42,514 --> 00:14:44,326
- Brittany, there's
a little kid back here that...
285
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:45,918
- No.
286
00:14:46,018 --> 00:14:47,920
- He seemed a lot older
than her.
287
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:50,022
I don't want to use
the Svengali phrase,
288
00:14:50,089 --> 00:14:53,025
but it seemed more like
289
00:14:53,092 --> 00:14:55,628
a control kind of issue.
290
00:14:55,728 --> 00:14:56,729
- Last one, guys.
291
00:14:56,795 --> 00:14:58,430
- All right.
- That's it.
292
00:14:58,530 --> 00:15:00,432
- This was a marriage
between a fading starlet
293
00:15:00,532 --> 00:15:02,067
and an unknown screenwriter.
294
00:15:02,134 --> 00:15:03,702
- She was recently
married, right?
295
00:15:03,769 --> 00:15:05,638
- She was married
about three years ago.
296
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:07,273
Yeah, Simon Monjack.
297
00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:09,417
Now, the thing that's very
strange about him, though,
298
00:15:09,441 --> 00:15:12,945
is that he has said
he doesn't want an autopsy.
299
00:15:13,045 --> 00:15:16,582
- Simon did request
that no autopsy be done.
300
00:15:16,649 --> 00:15:18,584
And sometimes
that's an indicator
301
00:15:18,651 --> 00:15:21,787
that somebody
doesn't want you to find out
302
00:15:21,887 --> 00:15:23,656
what they had in their system.
303
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:25,124
And I explained to him,
304
00:15:25,224 --> 00:15:26,992
"There's going to be an autopsy,
305
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:30,729
and we need to find out
why she passed away."
306
00:15:33,299 --> 00:15:35,134
- We were waiting
for the autopsy,
307
00:15:35,234 --> 00:15:36,902
and you start to think,
"Well, okay,
308
00:15:36,969 --> 00:15:38,804
who gained from her dying?"
309
00:15:38,904 --> 00:15:40,739
And then he's living
in this house
310
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:42,341
with Brittany's mom's still.
311
00:15:44,076 --> 00:15:45,620
- There was a set of pictures
that came out
312
00:15:45,644 --> 00:15:47,446
taken by a photographer
friend of mine
313
00:15:47,513 --> 00:15:49,448
of Simon Monjack
with Sharon Murphy.
314
00:15:49,515 --> 00:15:51,417
It looked like parents grieving,
315
00:15:51,483 --> 00:15:54,486
as opposed to a husband
and his mother-in-law.
316
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:56,155
But it was creepy.
317
00:15:56,255 --> 00:15:59,191
- Him and Sharon still lived
in the house together.
318
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:01,760
So people suspected that Simon
319
00:16:01,827 --> 00:16:04,296
may have had something to do
320
00:16:04,363 --> 00:16:06,198
with Brittany's death.
321
00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:08,867
- A 32-year-old woman
322
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:10,970
passes away suddenly,
323
00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:13,005
and you don't want
an autopsy done?
324
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:15,607
What is going on?
325
00:16:21,714 --> 00:16:23,882
- The amount
of reporters and paparazzi
326
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:25,484
sort of dwindled off,
327
00:16:25,551 --> 00:16:26,552
and we stayed.
328
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:28,220
We were told to stay.
329
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,155
Spent the night in my car.
330
00:16:30,222 --> 00:16:33,158
It was almost 24-7.
331
00:16:33,225 --> 00:16:35,227
And then...
I'll never forget this
332
00:16:35,327 --> 00:16:37,196
because it was Christmas Day,
333
00:16:37,296 --> 00:16:39,131
and I got a call
early in the morning
334
00:16:39,198 --> 00:16:41,033
from my boss, and he said,
335
00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:42,701
"Go buy flowers
336
00:16:42,801 --> 00:16:46,071
and bring them over
to Brittany's house."
337
00:16:46,171 --> 00:16:48,640
I brought flowers,
buzzed the buzzer.
338
00:16:48,707 --> 00:16:50,976
Simon answered.
So I said, "Merry Christmas.
339
00:16:51,043 --> 00:16:54,013
I'm just so sorry
about Brittany."
340
00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:57,182
I said, "My card's there
if you want to talk,
341
00:16:57,249 --> 00:16:59,218
but no pressure."
342
00:16:59,318 --> 00:17:01,220
And drive off.
343
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,688
It wasn't even an hour later.
344
00:17:02,755 --> 00:17:04,256
Get a call
from an unknown number,
345
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:06,592
but I answered, and it's Simon.
346
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:10,262
And I'm like, "What?"
Like, "Why are you calling me?"
347
00:17:10,362 --> 00:17:12,031
I was kind of, like, shocked.
348
00:17:12,097 --> 00:17:14,199
I said..."Hi."
349
00:17:14,266 --> 00:17:15,734
And he said,
"This is Amber, right?"
350
00:17:15,834 --> 00:17:17,312
And I said, "Yeah."
And he said, "Thank you.
351
00:17:17,336 --> 00:17:18,604
I got your flowers."
352
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:20,272
And he was kind of silent
for a minute.
353
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:23,041
He said, "You know, you're
the only one I've called."
354
00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:24,276
And I said, "Oh."
355
00:17:24,376 --> 00:17:26,078
"And I've decided
you're the only one
356
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:28,013
I want to talk to."
357
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,749
I had access to him now.
358
00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:39,091
- Many people in Hollywood
are absolutely shocked
359
00:17:39,191 --> 00:17:40,759
over Murphy's passing.
360
00:17:40,859 --> 00:17:42,928
She began her career
at an extremely young age,
361
00:17:43,028 --> 00:17:46,432
starting with small roles
in commercials and sitcoms.
362
00:17:56,375 --> 00:17:58,777
- Brittany was successful
immediately,
363
00:17:58,877 --> 00:18:00,479
booking pilot after pilot.
364
00:18:00,579 --> 00:18:04,883
I just couldn't believe
how much work this girl got.
365
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:06,485
My name is Lisa Rieffel,
366
00:18:06,585 --> 00:18:09,221
and I was friends
with Brittany Murphy.
367
00:18:09,288 --> 00:18:11,423
We were both childhood actors.
368
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:12,991
We both loved singing
369
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:16,261
and the same boys sometimes.
370
00:18:16,328 --> 00:18:18,097
And got a lot of jobs together.
371
00:18:18,163 --> 00:18:20,299
So this was from a party
372
00:18:20,399 --> 00:18:23,001
celebrating us
both getting pilots.
373
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:25,137
- My name is Chris Snyder,
and I'm a manager,
374
00:18:25,237 --> 00:18:27,739
and I was Brittany Murphy's
first agent
375
00:18:27,806 --> 00:18:29,141
in Los Angeles.
376
00:18:29,241 --> 00:18:32,177
Brittany was 14
377
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:34,613
when she came into the offices.
378
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,948
TV was fun,
379
00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:38,016
but Brittany wanted
to be a movie star
380
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:39,985
with every fiber of her being.
381
00:18:40,085 --> 00:18:42,187
She wanted to be in films.
382
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:45,090
- But, remember, Dorothy,
you're not in Kansas anymore.
383
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:49,828
- My name's Amy Heckerling.
384
00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:52,131
I'm the writer-director
of "Clueless,"
385
00:18:52,197 --> 00:18:55,033
which was the first movie
that Brittany Murphy was in.
386
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:58,637
We saw a lot of people
for the part of Tai.
387
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:02,674
And I felt like everybody
was kind of acting it
388
00:19:02,774 --> 00:19:05,511
as opposed to just feeling it.
389
00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:09,548
And when Brittany came in,
she was just genuine.
390
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:11,984
She just felt like a sweet girl
391
00:19:12,050 --> 00:19:15,020
who kind of didn't fit in
with the others
392
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:18,657
and was just trying
and being nice
393
00:19:18,724 --> 00:19:21,727
but, like,
was lost in this world.
394
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:25,130
And that was exactly
what I was looking for.
395
00:19:25,197 --> 00:19:27,332
- And background.
396
00:19:27,399 --> 00:19:29,067
- When we were shooting
"Clueless,"
397
00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:32,404
Brittany was 17, so just a kid.
398
00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:35,374
It was a very wonderful
group of people,
399
00:19:35,474 --> 00:19:38,043
and they all started
to have these friendships,
400
00:19:38,143 --> 00:19:40,312
and she was younger
than everybody.
401
00:19:40,379 --> 00:19:43,048
And there was kind of
a sweet, childish,
402
00:19:43,148 --> 00:19:45,184
lost quality that she had
403
00:19:45,250 --> 00:19:47,719
that just breaks your heart.
404
00:19:47,819 --> 00:19:49,188
- When she got that part,
405
00:19:49,254 --> 00:19:51,256
it was like
the "Hallelujah Chorus."
406
00:19:51,356 --> 00:19:54,359
And you're always happy
to give people that news,
407
00:19:54,426 --> 00:19:57,663
because you know it's about
to change their whole life.
408
00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:09,741
- That's some bump
you got there.
409
00:20:09,841 --> 00:20:10,943
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
410
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:12,611
You ready to go back out there?
411
00:20:12,711 --> 00:20:14,580
- Yeah, I am.
- All right.
412
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,747
You sure?
Can you do this?
413
00:20:15,847 --> 00:20:17,783
♪ Rolling
with the homies ♪
414
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:19,618
- ♪ Rolling
with the homies ♪
415
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,720
- Yeah, let's do it,
you're ready.
416
00:20:21,787 --> 00:20:23,555
- Put it in
the Criterion Collection.
417
00:20:23,622 --> 00:20:25,023
Put it in the Hall of Fame.
418
00:20:25,090 --> 00:20:26,534
This is one of
the greatest movies ever made,
419
00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:28,193
and I'll fight anyone
who disagrees.
420
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:31,597
You cannot be a teen girl
and not love this movie.
421
00:20:31,697 --> 00:20:34,866
You cannot be a teen girl
and not love Brittany in it.
422
00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:36,268
- Wow.
423
00:20:42,608 --> 00:20:44,710
- She just gets every cute line,
424
00:20:44,776 --> 00:20:47,079
and she gets
every cute little moment.
425
00:20:47,145 --> 00:20:50,082
- You're a virgin
who can't drive.
426
00:20:50,148 --> 00:20:52,117
- One of the greatest lines
ever written,
427
00:20:52,217 --> 00:20:54,953
one of the greatest line
deliveries ever.
428
00:20:55,053 --> 00:20:56,622
- That was way harsh, Tai.
429
00:20:56,722 --> 00:20:58,757
- "You're a virgin
who can't drive"...
430
00:20:58,824 --> 00:21:02,661
The way she delivers it
just, like, gives you chills.
431
00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:04,496
It's like, whoa.
432
00:21:04,596 --> 00:21:06,431
I loved her performance.
433
00:21:06,498 --> 00:21:09,968
She let her sweetness
shine through.
434
00:21:10,068 --> 00:21:13,505
So you got to see
who she was and love her,
435
00:21:13,605 --> 00:21:15,274
which was important.
436
00:21:15,340 --> 00:21:17,252
- You know, you hear sometimes
about the other girls
437
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:19,244
that they considered for Cher
in "Clueless."
438
00:21:19,311 --> 00:21:21,280
I've never heard anyone
talk about anyone
439
00:21:21,346 --> 00:21:23,426
who could have played Tai
except for Brittney Murphy.
440
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:26,451
- It's the launch of her career.
441
00:21:26,518 --> 00:21:27,986
And if you don't like
this movie,
442
00:21:28,086 --> 00:21:30,122
you're probably a bad person
with bad taste.
443
00:21:30,188 --> 00:21:32,190
- It wasn't until I saw it,
444
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:33,659
sitting in the theater,
445
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:36,261
I felt like,
"She's gonna be a star.
446
00:21:36,328 --> 00:21:38,330
She is gonna be a huge star."
447
00:21:42,434 --> 00:21:44,436
- Brittany Murphy.
448
00:21:49,274 --> 00:21:50,942
- I don't think
she was in school.
449
00:21:51,009 --> 00:21:52,678
She might've been emancipated.
450
00:21:53,845 --> 00:21:57,816
- She didn't have to go
to school like normal kids.
451
00:21:57,883 --> 00:21:59,351
They gave you the books.
452
00:21:59,451 --> 00:22:01,687
You could not go
for weeks on end
453
00:22:01,787 --> 00:22:03,388
and just turn in
your assignments.
454
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:07,125
- Most of your learning takes
place on set with a tutor.
455
00:22:07,192 --> 00:22:08,794
When you're working all the time
456
00:22:08,860 --> 00:22:10,862
and you're not around kids a lot
457
00:22:10,962 --> 00:22:13,498
and your only friends
are other actors,
458
00:22:13,565 --> 00:22:15,467
you miss a lot of things.
459
00:22:15,534 --> 00:22:17,869
- You don't become as aware
460
00:22:17,969 --> 00:22:20,072
of people and what they can do
461
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:23,375
and the petty stuff
that people can do or lies...
462
00:22:23,475 --> 00:22:25,210
All that little stuff
that you work out
463
00:22:25,310 --> 00:22:27,346
in junior high and high school.
464
00:22:27,412 --> 00:22:30,048
So they kind of get caught
into this vacuum
465
00:22:30,148 --> 00:22:31,917
of not knowing who a good
person is
466
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:33,552
and who a bad person is.
467
00:22:43,662 --> 00:22:45,163
- How are you coping?
468
00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:46,331
- You don't really cope.
469
00:22:46,398 --> 00:22:48,033
You just kind of...
470
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:49,401
live this surreal life
471
00:22:49,501 --> 00:22:52,437
and hope that one day
it makes sense.
472
00:22:52,537 --> 00:22:54,039
I'm gonna go home.
- All right.
473
00:22:54,106 --> 00:22:56,174
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
474
00:23:02,514 --> 00:23:04,416
- I'm Roger Neal, the publicist
475
00:23:04,516 --> 00:23:06,184
for Simon Monjack
and Sharon Murphy,
476
00:23:06,251 --> 00:23:07,686
post-Brittany's death.
477
00:23:07,753 --> 00:23:10,389
So, about a month after
Brittany passed away,
478
00:23:10,455 --> 00:23:13,291
I received a phone call
from Simon Monjack.
479
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:14,936
They needed a publicist
'cause there was
480
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,928
a lot going on in the press,
a lot of rumors.
481
00:23:17,028 --> 00:23:19,965
When I got the call to go meet
with Simon and Sharon,
482
00:23:20,065 --> 00:23:23,101
I went on the Internet
and did a search.
483
00:23:23,201 --> 00:23:24,703
So this shot here...
484
00:23:24,770 --> 00:23:26,438
I wouldn't have them put
in that position.
485
00:23:26,538 --> 00:23:29,541
To me, that's not a typical
son-in-law-mother-in-law pose
486
00:23:29,608 --> 00:23:31,042
for a photo.
487
00:23:31,109 --> 00:23:34,146
We're talking
about tabloid-media fodder.
488
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:36,448
They had done some interviews
489
00:23:36,548 --> 00:23:38,717
because "Larry King"
is the one interview
490
00:23:38,784 --> 00:23:40,385
that the world watches.
491
00:23:40,452 --> 00:23:42,721
But watching that show,
man, they...
492
00:23:42,788 --> 00:23:44,656
Mm-mm.
It wasn't good for them at all.
493
00:23:44,756 --> 00:23:46,792
- You didn't want
an autopsy at first?
494
00:23:46,892 --> 00:23:48,160
- No, I didn't.
495
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:51,296
There was this woman
who just lost a daughter.
496
00:23:51,396 --> 00:23:52,664
It was such a shock.
497
00:23:52,764 --> 00:23:54,099
This pristine body
498
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:55,726
that is curvy
in all the right places...
499
00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:57,378
- It's not like
she was in a car accident.
500
00:23:57,402 --> 00:23:59,004
- And with skin like silk.
501
00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:01,640
And how could I say in front
of her mother, "Cut her up"?
502
00:24:01,740 --> 00:24:04,409
- When I watch it,
I sort of, like...
503
00:24:04,476 --> 00:24:05,777
It's like, "Oh, no."
504
00:24:05,844 --> 00:24:09,147
It made you cringe
watching some of it,
505
00:24:09,247 --> 00:24:11,116
and she seemed
a little out of it.
506
00:24:11,183 --> 00:24:12,617
- You were living in the house?
507
00:24:12,684 --> 00:24:14,061
- Sharon lived with us
throughout the marriage.
508
00:24:14,085 --> 00:24:15,454
- Yeah, I was...
- The three of you
509
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,122
lived together?
- I was always there.
510
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:19,291
And my daughter and I lived
together always.
511
00:24:19,357 --> 00:24:21,169
- So what happened that day?
- It was the three of us.
512
00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:23,361
- That's why these rumors
are so ludicrous.
513
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:25,797
- I actually saw part of it.
514
00:24:25,864 --> 00:24:27,699
I had that question in my mind,
515
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:31,002
"Is this for real
or is this bull?"
516
00:24:31,102 --> 00:24:33,505
I was contacted by the driver
517
00:24:33,605 --> 00:24:35,140
that was driving them
that night,
518
00:24:35,207 --> 00:24:37,676
who happened to be
an LAPD officer
519
00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:40,178
who moonlighted as a chauffeur.
520
00:24:40,278 --> 00:24:42,147
And he said,
"They got to the studio.
521
00:24:42,214 --> 00:24:44,616
"They did this
very tearful interview
522
00:24:44,683 --> 00:24:46,284
in front of Larry King."
523
00:24:46,351 --> 00:24:48,987
- Larry, we have clung
to each other.
524
00:24:49,054 --> 00:24:50,188
- It's been weeks.
525
00:24:50,288 --> 00:24:53,191
- We cry day after day
after day.
526
00:24:53,291 --> 00:24:55,393
I lay, and I look
at the ceiling.
527
00:24:55,494 --> 00:24:59,364
My mother-in-law comes in
with neuropathy, shaking,
528
00:24:59,464 --> 00:25:01,500
needing to be held.
529
00:25:01,566 --> 00:25:05,003
- The driver said that
as soon as they walked out,
530
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:06,571
it seemed like
531
00:25:06,671 --> 00:25:09,975
their whole interview
was a hoax.
532
00:25:10,041 --> 00:25:13,011
- I'll say this
because I know you can't.
533
00:25:13,078 --> 00:25:16,548
She said, "Mom, I'm dying,
I love you."
534
00:25:16,648 --> 00:25:18,049
- "Mom, I'm dying, I love you"?
535
00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:19,985
She knew she was dying?
536
00:25:20,051 --> 00:25:22,053
This was about
an hour before, but...
537
00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:23,522
- No, no, no, baby, this was...
538
00:25:23,588 --> 00:25:26,224
You've forgotten time.
- Oh, sweetheart, oh.
539
00:25:26,324 --> 00:25:29,060
- Well, the takeaway for me
from that interview
540
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,730
is Sharon yielded to Simon.
541
00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:35,433
And when I met them in person,
it was pretty much...
542
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:37,068
He was very much in control.
543
00:25:37,168 --> 00:25:41,706
And, remember, it had been
Sharon and Brittany
544
00:25:41,773 --> 00:25:45,410
Brittany's entire life
before Simon.
545
00:25:53,184 --> 00:25:54,686
- I've got an idea.
546
00:25:54,753 --> 00:25:56,922
Let's do a makeover.
547
00:25:57,022 --> 00:25:59,391
No, no.
548
00:25:59,457 --> 00:26:02,394
- Oh, come on, let us.
549
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:03,929
- Okay.
550
00:26:04,029 --> 00:26:05,430
My name is Bruce Bibby.
551
00:26:05,530 --> 00:26:07,632
I wrote under the pseudonym
Ted Casablanca.
552
00:26:07,732 --> 00:26:11,736
I think she knew that
she had something different,
553
00:26:11,803 --> 00:26:13,305
that Jersey edge.
554
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:15,707
Absolutely loved that about her,
555
00:26:15,774 --> 00:26:19,210
but she was not
a typical pretty girl.
556
00:26:19,277 --> 00:26:22,147
And so many young women
in Hollywood
557
00:26:22,247 --> 00:26:25,083
are pressured enormously
558
00:26:25,150 --> 00:26:28,954
to look like
the typical pretty woman.
559
00:26:29,054 --> 00:26:31,389
- So this is Brittany Murphy
560
00:26:31,456 --> 00:26:32,958
in the year 2000
561
00:26:33,058 --> 00:26:34,793
in "Interview" magazine.
562
00:26:34,893 --> 00:26:37,629
"You know, a very important
person in Hollywood
563
00:26:37,729 --> 00:26:39,297
"said I wasn't fuckable enough.
564
00:26:39,397 --> 00:26:41,466
"He said I was huggable
but not fuckable,
565
00:26:41,566 --> 00:26:43,735
"so I got these extensions
put in my hair,
566
00:26:43,802 --> 00:26:46,237
and that made
a big difference."
567
00:26:46,304 --> 00:26:49,474
Uh, yeah, welcome to Hollywood.
568
00:26:50,642 --> 00:26:52,510
- This comment came back.
569
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:55,513
She was cute,
but she wasn't fuckable,
570
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:57,682
and she didn't get this part.
571
00:26:57,782 --> 00:27:01,019
And shortly after that,
I saw her at a premiere,
572
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,856
and she had lost
an inordinate amount of weight,
573
00:27:04,956 --> 00:27:07,826
and she was dressing
totally differently.
574
00:27:13,198 --> 00:27:16,434
- In my film, the character
that Brittany played
575
00:27:16,501 --> 00:27:17,769
gets a makeover,
576
00:27:17,836 --> 00:27:19,771
and I kind of got the feeling
577
00:27:19,838 --> 00:27:21,606
that there was
a parallel in that.
578
00:27:21,673 --> 00:27:25,377
They had decided, "Oh, this is
what Hollywood accepts,
579
00:27:25,477 --> 00:27:29,147
and so you're going to get
that Hollywood makeover."
580
00:27:29,214 --> 00:27:31,683
- Brittany Murphy
was super cute.
581
00:27:31,783 --> 00:27:33,351
But in Hollywood,
582
00:27:33,451 --> 00:27:36,221
you have to be
literally Gwyneth Paltrow.
583
00:27:36,321 --> 00:27:38,723
- Do you ever take a look
at the superstars?
584
00:27:38,823 --> 00:27:41,626
You know what their thing is?
Hair.
585
00:27:41,693 --> 00:27:45,964
Gonna be a star, got to know
how to fix your hair.
586
00:27:46,031 --> 00:27:48,800
I was afraid to be
a blonde, too,
587
00:27:48,867 --> 00:27:50,201
but I had dreams about it,
588
00:27:50,301 --> 00:27:52,404
which sounds
extremely superficial, but...
589
00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:54,873
it kept on coming back
in my dreams
590
00:27:54,973 --> 00:27:58,376
so I figured I had to make it
come true in real life.
591
00:27:58,476 --> 00:28:00,412
- It's clear she was trying
592
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:02,147
to become someone she wasn't.
593
00:28:02,213 --> 00:28:03,882
Both her people
are telling her this,
594
00:28:03,982 --> 00:28:06,151
executives are telling her this.
595
00:28:06,217 --> 00:28:08,553
- She lived in a time
and worked in a time
596
00:28:08,653 --> 00:28:11,723
that had a very mean-spirited
and harsh view
597
00:28:11,823 --> 00:28:13,425
of how you were supposed
to look.
598
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:15,060
You're commodifying
women's bodies,
599
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,895
and you're judging them,
and it can lead
600
00:28:16,995 --> 00:28:18,930
to absolute carnage
on these young actresses.
601
00:28:19,030 --> 00:28:20,398
- They're pushing the look.
602
00:28:20,498 --> 00:28:22,834
She's sexy,
she's got blonde hair,
603
00:28:22,901 --> 00:28:26,371
got this anorexic body
that is so stylish.
604
00:28:26,438 --> 00:28:29,074
- Okay, here's Brittany saying,
unprompted,
605
00:28:29,174 --> 00:28:31,576
"I don't have
an eating disorder."
606
00:28:31,676 --> 00:28:34,212
It's like she knows
she's going around
607
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:36,448
with a scarlet A
608
00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:38,083
on her body for anorexia,
609
00:28:38,183 --> 00:28:40,218
like so many women in Hollywood.
610
00:28:40,285 --> 00:28:42,087
You know, it's like
everyone knew it.
611
00:28:42,187 --> 00:28:43,922
Everyone talked about it.
612
00:28:46,791 --> 00:28:48,793
- One day we were
filming at Fox.
613
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:50,962
I was like,
"Are you okay, honey?
614
00:28:51,062 --> 00:28:53,465
"You know, I think the blonde
is great,
615
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:55,100
"but was it your idea?
616
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,602
And your beautiful body
is diminishing."
617
00:28:57,702 --> 00:29:00,271
And she said,
"That's what I've been told.
618
00:29:00,371 --> 00:29:02,540
"If I wanted to be considered
as a leading lady,
619
00:29:02,607 --> 00:29:04,943
I needed to lose
a lot of weight."
620
00:29:05,043 --> 00:29:08,713
And let me loose!
621
00:29:10,648 --> 00:29:13,151
Like a real star.
622
00:29:18,289 --> 00:29:20,792
- After that initial
phone call on Christmas,
623
00:29:20,892 --> 00:29:23,728
Simon suggested
that we meet in person.
624
00:29:23,795 --> 00:29:26,664
So we met for dinner
625
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:28,299
at Chateau Marmont.
626
00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:31,269
It was the first time
I'd ever met him.
627
00:29:31,336 --> 00:29:34,739
I had talked
to friends in the industry
628
00:29:34,806 --> 00:29:37,008
who had told me
some things about Simon
629
00:29:37,108 --> 00:29:38,610
that were unsavory,
630
00:29:38,676 --> 00:29:42,480
but it was my job
to befriend him.
631
00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:44,783
When I met him, he was nervous.
632
00:29:44,849 --> 00:29:46,484
He was sweaty.
633
00:29:46,584 --> 00:29:49,354
It was really awkward
being around him
634
00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:51,289
and the way
that he talked about her.
635
00:29:51,356 --> 00:29:53,792
He liked to take credit
for her career.
636
00:29:53,858 --> 00:29:55,569
"When she did this movie,
didn't she look great?
637
00:29:55,593 --> 00:29:57,862
"That's 'cause
I told her to wear this,"
638
00:29:57,962 --> 00:30:01,499
or, "I had them
change this in wardrobe."
639
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:05,103
He's made himself
the boss of that family.
640
00:30:05,170 --> 00:30:07,005
He said,
"I know how people see me.
641
00:30:07,105 --> 00:30:08,439
"They think I'm controlling.
642
00:30:08,506 --> 00:30:10,275
"They think I'm this.
They think I'm that.
643
00:30:10,341 --> 00:30:12,181
"The truth of the matter is
we were soul mates.
644
00:30:12,277 --> 00:30:15,346
"What it really was was this
great Hollywood love story,
645
00:30:15,446 --> 00:30:17,949
and no one wanted
to see it that way."
646
00:30:18,016 --> 00:30:20,118
I remember after I went
to dinner with him,
647
00:30:20,185 --> 00:30:22,487
I had quite a few
of my colleagues
648
00:30:22,554 --> 00:30:25,557
call me and say, "My God,
you went to dinner with Simon?"
649
00:30:25,657 --> 00:30:27,792
'Cause there'd already
been reports of, like,
650
00:30:27,859 --> 00:30:30,395
"Ooh, did Simon have
something to do with this?"
651
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:32,697
But it was in the back
of my mind that, like,
652
00:30:32,797 --> 00:30:35,533
"Am I sitting with a murderer?
653
00:30:35,633 --> 00:30:38,236
"Like, did he...
Could he have killed his wife?
654
00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:39,704
Did he kill his wife?"
655
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:47,879
- The media, because of
celebrities, they hound you.
656
00:30:47,979 --> 00:30:49,314
We'd tell them what we could
657
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:51,015
but we wouldn't release
cause of death
658
00:30:51,082 --> 00:30:52,550
until the autopsy was done
659
00:30:52,650 --> 00:30:55,320
and all the toxicology
and tests came back.
660
00:30:58,156 --> 00:31:00,191
When there's
a death investigation,
661
00:31:00,258 --> 00:31:01,559
we don't need search warrants.
662
00:31:01,659 --> 00:31:03,228
We can go on any property.
663
00:31:03,328 --> 00:31:05,930
And so, when an investigator
is at a home,
664
00:31:06,030 --> 00:31:08,399
they'll check
the medicine cabinets
665
00:31:08,499 --> 00:31:10,668
and look for any medication.
666
00:31:10,735 --> 00:31:12,704
We checked the nightstands.
667
00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:15,406
On Simon's side
of the nightstand,
668
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:18,409
we found approximately
90 prescription bottles
669
00:31:18,509 --> 00:31:22,680
with several different names,
which is highly unusual.
670
00:31:22,747 --> 00:31:26,117
We also found prescription
bottles in Brittany's name
671
00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:28,286
and Lola Manilow,
672
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:30,288
possibly an alias.
673
00:31:30,388 --> 00:31:32,056
- Do you fear that toxicology
674
00:31:32,123 --> 00:31:35,026
might say an overdose
of prescription medication?
675
00:31:35,093 --> 00:31:38,096
- Is that possible?
- No.
676
00:31:38,196 --> 00:31:41,699
- During the investigation,
I issued search warrants
677
00:31:41,766 --> 00:31:43,268
to several of the pharmacies
678
00:31:43,368 --> 00:31:45,904
where a lot of
the prescriptions came from.
679
00:31:45,970 --> 00:31:48,039
There were several prescriptions
680
00:31:48,106 --> 00:31:49,440
from several doctors.
681
00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:50,942
If it looks like they're getting
682
00:31:51,042 --> 00:31:54,913
too many prescriptions
under several doctors,
683
00:31:54,979 --> 00:31:56,814
then they'll do the aliases
684
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:58,783
and have the doctors
write the prescriptions
685
00:31:58,883 --> 00:32:03,788
so that they can continue
or enhance their addictions.
686
00:32:03,888 --> 00:32:06,658
- Just give me
the fucking Valium.
687
00:32:07,992 --> 00:32:10,662
- They weren't sure
whether he controlled her
688
00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:12,597
and kept her on drugs.
689
00:32:12,664 --> 00:32:16,134
There was definitely
a pill problem with Simon.
690
00:32:16,234 --> 00:32:17,669
Brittany's mother...
691
00:32:17,769 --> 00:32:20,071
She seemed like
she was on something as well.
692
00:32:29,981 --> 00:32:32,183
- This is Brittany!
693
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:34,819
I love Brittany!
I love Brittany!
694
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,588
She's my good friend!
I love my friend!
695
00:32:37,655 --> 00:32:39,023
Let me kiss her!
696
00:32:39,123 --> 00:32:40,834
- You're not going home
or anything, are you?
697
00:32:40,858 --> 00:32:43,094
- She's making me go home,
and I want to stay.
698
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:46,097
- Kiki, you're going home now?
You're going home?
699
00:32:46,164 --> 00:32:48,466
- Kiki's going home
and I'm going to...
700
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:51,669
I'm going to go home
in a bit with Joel.
701
00:32:59,143 --> 00:33:00,812
- We're gonna do
an introduction.
702
00:33:00,878 --> 00:33:03,481
So if you'd tell me
who you are and what you do
703
00:33:03,548 --> 00:33:05,350
and your connection to Brittany.
704
00:33:05,450 --> 00:33:07,819
- I don't know who I am.
705
00:33:07,885 --> 00:33:09,721
Oh, you mean my name.
706
00:33:09,821 --> 00:33:11,189
Chris Hanley.
707
00:33:11,289 --> 00:33:13,324
- I'm Roberta Hanley.
708
00:33:13,391 --> 00:33:14,859
- We first met Brittany
709
00:33:14,959 --> 00:33:17,862
when we were shooting
the movie "Freeway."
710
00:33:17,962 --> 00:33:20,064
- Also, I think Brittany
became friends
711
00:33:20,164 --> 00:33:22,000
with a few of the actresses.
712
00:33:22,066 --> 00:33:23,801
- Oh, well,
Kirsten Dunst for sure.
713
00:33:23,868 --> 00:33:27,205
- Kirsten Dunst, and it was
like a little clique of girls
714
00:33:27,305 --> 00:33:29,907
that were really up-and-coming,
715
00:33:30,008 --> 00:33:32,877
and they all became friends.
716
00:33:32,977 --> 00:33:36,848
- Brittany was in one of the
jail scenes that we had and...
717
00:33:36,914 --> 00:33:39,150
- She got the hardest role
in the movie
718
00:33:39,217 --> 00:33:40,818
because she played insanity.
719
00:33:40,885 --> 00:33:42,887
- I was hoping that
you could show Vanessa
720
00:33:42,987 --> 00:33:44,989
around the craft shop later.
721
00:33:46,824 --> 00:33:48,993
- I can't.
722
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:50,428
See, I'm on...
723
00:33:50,528 --> 00:33:52,263
I'm on restriction.
724
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:53,998
- Later on, "Girl, interrupted,"
725
00:33:54,065 --> 00:33:55,366
those kind of movies,
726
00:33:55,433 --> 00:33:57,335
she usually got
the dramatic roles
727
00:33:57,402 --> 00:33:59,937
because of her particular
point of view
728
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:01,773
on how to approach the drama,
729
00:34:01,873 --> 00:34:04,275
which was never
like any other actress.
730
00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:06,911
- Get the fuck out,
or I'm calling Valerie!
731
00:34:07,011 --> 00:34:08,489
Valerie!
- Yeah, yeah, why don't you...
732
00:34:08,513 --> 00:34:09,947
Why don't you call Valerie.
733
00:34:10,047 --> 00:34:11,658
Let's call Valerie
and ask her for some Colace
734
00:34:11,682 --> 00:34:14,052
just like Suzie Q's
got in her fucking hand.
735
00:34:14,118 --> 00:34:15,620
- I don't take Valium.
736
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:17,722
- When she did
"Girl, Interrupted,"
737
00:34:17,789 --> 00:34:20,091
we were like, "Holy shit."
738
00:34:20,191 --> 00:34:22,393
I thought she should've gotten
an Oscar for that.
739
00:34:22,460 --> 00:34:24,729
I'd never seen anything like it.
740
00:34:26,264 --> 00:34:29,300
- Brittany was this raw nerve
741
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,968
exposed to the air,
742
00:34:31,069 --> 00:34:32,937
like, you know,
if you chip a tooth.
743
00:34:33,037 --> 00:34:35,048
About a week before filming,
I asked her to come in,
744
00:34:35,072 --> 00:34:36,774
and Brittany did something
interesting,
745
00:34:36,874 --> 00:34:40,378
where she made the scene
sort of intimate and quiet.
746
00:34:40,445 --> 00:34:42,713
- Don't want to hear it.
- All they want...
747
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:43,981
All they want is a number.
748
00:34:44,081 --> 00:34:45,917
They want a seven-digit number.
749
00:34:45,983 --> 00:34:47,585
- You want what they want.
750
00:34:47,652 --> 00:34:49,821
- And when we shot the scene
from the screen test
751
00:34:49,921 --> 00:34:51,289
in the actual day of filming,
752
00:34:51,389 --> 00:34:52,957
it became a much more volatile,
753
00:34:53,057 --> 00:34:54,625
explosive version of that scene.
754
00:34:54,725 --> 00:34:55,960
- You want what they want.
755
00:34:56,060 --> 00:34:57,762
- They know
that you know the number,
756
00:34:57,829 --> 00:34:59,430
and they're gonna kill
my little girl
757
00:34:59,497 --> 00:35:01,165
if you don't tell me the number.
758
00:35:01,265 --> 00:35:03,568
- Stop it.
- What is it?
759
00:35:03,634 --> 00:35:05,636
- I know that Brittany
understood,
760
00:35:05,736 --> 00:35:07,905
in the context,
the music of the movie,
761
00:35:07,972 --> 00:35:10,675
it had to be that
in that moment.
762
00:35:12,443 --> 00:35:15,012
- When she did "Spun,"
she had to go
763
00:35:15,113 --> 00:35:17,281
neck and neck
with Mickey Rourke.
764
00:35:17,348 --> 00:35:18,416
- God damn it.
765
00:35:18,483 --> 00:35:19,750
Don't start in
766
00:35:19,817 --> 00:35:21,352
with your psycho
bullshit anymore
767
00:35:21,452 --> 00:35:22,753
around here, all right?
- Mm-hmm.
768
00:35:22,820 --> 00:35:24,489
- You want to go back
to Las Vegas
769
00:35:24,589 --> 00:35:26,757
with all them Gucci-wearing
motherfuckers?
770
00:35:26,824 --> 00:35:28,326
- You want me to go to Vegas?
771
00:35:28,426 --> 00:35:30,461
- I don't give a fuck
if you go back to Florida.
772
00:35:30,528 --> 00:35:31,929
- A day doesn't go by
773
00:35:31,996 --> 00:35:34,499
where it doesn't
flow through my mind.
774
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:37,869
And this girl's yelling at him,
and he's taking it.
775
00:35:37,969 --> 00:35:40,004
And he's like, "I am a loser."
776
00:35:40,104 --> 00:35:41,506
- I would rather be anywhere,
777
00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:43,283
anywhere in the whole
fucking world right now
778
00:35:43,307 --> 00:35:44,707
other than this room
waiting for you
779
00:35:44,775 --> 00:35:47,111
to fucking blow up
the whole goddamn place!
780
00:35:47,178 --> 00:35:49,380
Fuck you! Fuck you!
781
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,282
Fuck you, motherfucker!
782
00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:53,518
- She breaks the kingpin down
783
00:35:53,618 --> 00:35:56,554
and crushes him,
like, emotionally.
784
00:36:01,125 --> 00:36:04,195
♪ ♪
785
00:36:04,295 --> 00:36:06,898
- I met Brittany Murphy
on the set of "8 Mile,"
786
00:36:06,998 --> 00:36:09,066
and that was
our first connection.
787
00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:11,702
I showed up, and in my trailer,
788
00:36:11,802 --> 00:36:13,337
there was, like, an envelope,
789
00:36:13,404 --> 00:36:15,306
like, sealed,
and it said "Taryn."
790
00:36:15,373 --> 00:36:17,408
The nicest letter that
anyone's ever written to me
791
00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:19,677
just gushing about...
792
00:36:19,744 --> 00:36:21,546
"I'm so happy
that you're here on set.
793
00:36:21,646 --> 00:36:23,214
"I think you're so amazing.
794
00:36:23,314 --> 00:36:25,016
"I'm so happy to have
another girl here.
795
00:36:25,082 --> 00:36:27,385
I'm just so proud of you
that you got the part."
796
00:36:27,485 --> 00:36:28,753
She was like a butterfly.
797
00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:31,389
Like, if you... like a butterfly
you can't catch.
798
00:36:31,489 --> 00:36:33,057
You know, you'd be like,
"Brittany."
799
00:36:33,157 --> 00:36:35,359
Just buzzing around everywhere,
800
00:36:35,426 --> 00:36:38,396
and it's just such a good actor
but so sweet to me on that set.
801
00:36:38,496 --> 00:36:39,664
- See what I mean?
802
00:36:39,730 --> 00:36:41,165
- So I hear
you're a dope rapper.
803
00:36:41,232 --> 00:36:43,067
- That could be the other...
- I like that.
804
00:36:43,167 --> 00:36:46,504
- So I hear you're
a real dope rapper.
805
00:36:46,571 --> 00:36:47,905
- So she was nervous.
806
00:36:48,005 --> 00:36:49,740
I mean, that was
a big role for her,
807
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,709
working across a huge artist.
808
00:36:51,776 --> 00:36:53,911
It can start
to put pressure on you,
809
00:36:54,011 --> 00:36:56,247
to where you
might just even fold.
810
00:36:56,347 --> 00:36:57,848
I really liked
the first time, like,
811
00:36:57,915 --> 00:36:59,350
they make out
in, like, the factory.
812
00:36:59,417 --> 00:37:01,552
Like, she went,
like, all the way.
813
00:37:01,619 --> 00:37:03,221
She just had a lot of courage.
814
00:37:03,287 --> 00:37:05,856
On "action," like,
any type of inhibitions
815
00:37:05,923 --> 00:37:07,225
just went away.
816
00:37:07,291 --> 00:37:09,427
- Was there romance
off the screen?
817
00:37:09,527 --> 00:37:11,929
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
- How did that go?
818
00:37:12,029 --> 00:37:13,231
- Well, it went.
819
00:37:13,297 --> 00:37:15,766
It came and went.
820
00:37:15,866 --> 00:37:17,702
- It's fascinating to know that
821
00:37:17,768 --> 00:37:21,439
the onscreen chemistry also
is going off the screen.
822
00:37:21,539 --> 00:37:23,739
And, look, I might've been
a little jealous at that one.
823
00:37:23,774 --> 00:37:25,109
Like, "Is it... damn it!"
824
00:37:25,209 --> 00:37:27,111
You know, like,
Marshall's awesome, but...
825
00:37:27,211 --> 00:37:30,381
No, I'm joking,
but it was speculated.
826
00:37:30,448 --> 00:37:33,451
After "8 Mile"
she became the it girl
827
00:37:33,551 --> 00:37:34,752
and I was thinking,
828
00:37:34,819 --> 00:37:36,954
"This is what dreams
are made of."
829
00:37:37,054 --> 00:37:38,756
Like, she was up there.
830
00:37:43,561 --> 00:37:45,296
- You're gonna be great.
831
00:37:57,508 --> 00:38:00,845
- Welcome to my house.
832
00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:04,315
Now, to get into the house...
833
00:38:04,415 --> 00:38:07,418
you have to put your thumb here.
834
00:38:07,485 --> 00:38:10,755
And then...
835
00:38:10,821 --> 00:38:12,690
it opens.
836
00:38:15,192 --> 00:38:17,128
- He actually said,
837
00:38:17,194 --> 00:38:18,863
"Do you want to come
to the house?"
838
00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:21,332
I'm like, "Yeah, like, yeah."
839
00:38:21,432 --> 00:38:24,835
And he even said, you know,
"You'd have first access."
840
00:38:24,935 --> 00:38:27,638
It was amazing,
but it felt weird
841
00:38:27,705 --> 00:38:29,974
for this grieving husband
to be like,
842
00:38:30,041 --> 00:38:32,443
"Let's show the world
where Brittany died."
843
00:38:32,510 --> 00:38:34,154
- Yeah, these are pictures
I took of Brittany.
844
00:38:34,178 --> 00:38:36,614
This was actually used
at the funeral.
845
00:38:36,681 --> 00:38:40,184
Just thought it was
a perfect theatrical photograph
846
00:38:40,284 --> 00:38:44,989
of someone who is just taking
their final bow.
847
00:38:45,056 --> 00:38:47,792
- Their house...
It was so much security
848
00:38:47,858 --> 00:38:51,329
that you're like,
"Whoa, wait, why?"
849
00:38:51,395 --> 00:38:54,699
He sort of alluded to, like,
"We've been targeted,"
850
00:38:54,799 --> 00:38:57,568
almost like
a conspiracy theorist would.
851
00:38:57,668 --> 00:39:02,540
Like, people in the government
were watching them.
852
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,344
- Lots of Louis Vuitton
and lots of Chanel, Gucci.
853
00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:07,888
Actually, that's a really nice
leather jacket.
854
00:39:07,912 --> 00:39:09,714
I never saw her wear that.
855
00:39:09,814 --> 00:39:10,815
Isn't that cute?
856
00:39:10,881 --> 00:39:14,251
But there's just so much of it.
857
00:39:14,352 --> 00:39:15,986
- I was a little bit surprised
858
00:39:16,053 --> 00:39:18,322
because it wasn't
what I was expecting.
859
00:39:18,389 --> 00:39:20,991
When you think of Hollywood
and people with lots of money,
860
00:39:21,058 --> 00:39:24,228
you think of like
a big, clean, modern house.
861
00:39:24,328 --> 00:39:26,897
Eventually we went
up to the master bedroom,
862
00:39:26,997 --> 00:39:30,401
which had the bathroom
where she was found.
863
00:39:30,501 --> 00:39:33,070
- This is obviously
the infamous bathroom,
864
00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:37,074
which no one has managed to
even come in and clean out yet.
865
00:39:37,174 --> 00:39:40,244
This is the little doggy couch
866
00:39:40,344 --> 00:39:41,779
where she actually fell.
867
00:39:41,879 --> 00:39:44,014
She fell
on Clara's chaise longue.
868
00:39:44,081 --> 00:39:46,016
She was put
on her side right here
869
00:39:46,083 --> 00:39:47,752
next to the chaise lounge.
870
00:39:47,852 --> 00:39:49,720
And then when
the paramedics came in,
871
00:39:49,787 --> 00:39:53,557
they pulled her through here
into the...
872
00:39:55,025 --> 00:39:59,029
Into... through the...
One of the closets
873
00:39:59,096 --> 00:40:01,632
into the main room, so...
874
00:40:01,732 --> 00:40:03,968
Yeah, you're the first people
to ever see
875
00:40:04,068 --> 00:40:05,603
the infamous bathroom.
876
00:40:05,703 --> 00:40:08,105
And it's the first time
I've come in here, actually.
877
00:40:08,205 --> 00:40:09,683
- You don't use
this bathroom anymore?
878
00:40:09,707 --> 00:40:11,308
- No, no, I don't use it at all.
879
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:14,412
Yeah, it's shocking.
880
00:40:17,314 --> 00:40:20,117
- It was the first time
I met Sharon.
881
00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:22,486
She acted like
he was in control.
882
00:40:22,586 --> 00:40:25,556
Like, she acted submissive
with him,
883
00:40:25,623 --> 00:40:27,391
which I noticed,
884
00:40:27,458 --> 00:40:29,293
and it struck a chord.
885
00:40:29,393 --> 00:40:31,128
What happens when no one's here?
886
00:40:31,228 --> 00:40:33,063
Or... or how do they act,
887
00:40:33,130 --> 00:40:34,465
you know, when no one's here?
888
00:40:34,565 --> 00:40:36,567
Because I remember
going into the house,
889
00:40:36,634 --> 00:40:40,404
and the master bedroom bed
was all ruffled,
890
00:40:40,471 --> 00:40:42,173
a mess, like, both sides.
891
00:40:42,273 --> 00:40:45,910
And I was like, "Well, that's
weird because Brittany's gone."
892
00:40:45,976 --> 00:40:48,479
And it just... like, in a way
that you could tell
893
00:40:48,579 --> 00:40:51,615
two people had been
in that bed, recently.
894
00:40:51,682 --> 00:40:53,250
And I said something to him.
895
00:40:53,317 --> 00:40:54,728
And he said,
"Oh, well, Sharon and I...
896
00:40:54,752 --> 00:40:56,353
"Sharon crawls in
with me sometimes,
897
00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:58,322
and we just cry."
898
00:40:58,422 --> 00:41:00,691
And you're like,
"That's weird."
899
00:41:00,791 --> 00:41:03,294
Like, it is weird.
900
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,196
- She's told the coroner
901
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:09,099
that her and Simon
have been sharing a bed
902
00:41:09,166 --> 00:41:14,004
to comfort each other
after the death of Brittany.
903
00:41:14,104 --> 00:41:15,706
Oh, hell, no.
904
00:41:15,806 --> 00:41:17,975
That is so gro...
905
00:41:18,042 --> 00:41:20,344
Like, it's so creepy
and so gross.
906
00:41:20,444 --> 00:41:23,147
- I encountered a woman
who was scared,
907
00:41:23,214 --> 00:41:26,116
who was distraught,
who was heartbroken,
908
00:41:26,183 --> 00:41:30,054
who had not really grieved
her daughter.
909
00:41:30,154 --> 00:41:32,022
But it was absurd,
910
00:41:32,122 --> 00:41:36,494
completely absurd to even think
that Sharon and her son-in-law
911
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,029
were anything but
mother-in-law and son-in-law.
912
00:41:39,129 --> 00:41:40,731
She loved him like a son.
913
00:41:40,831 --> 00:41:43,367
There was nothing like
what had been speculated.
914
00:41:43,467 --> 00:41:46,303
- Another thing that was strange
915
00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:50,474
was Brittany left everything
in her will to her mother.
916
00:41:50,541 --> 00:41:53,477
- You were the beneficiary
of the entire state.
917
00:41:53,544 --> 00:41:55,179
Was it a sizable estate?
918
00:41:55,246 --> 00:41:57,214
- We haven't even begun
to add it up.
919
00:41:57,314 --> 00:41:59,016
- I have no idea.
I really don't...
920
00:41:59,083 --> 00:42:01,485
- I'm just asking.
- And I'm just telling you...
921
00:42:01,552 --> 00:42:03,187
We're not doing math.
922
00:42:03,254 --> 00:42:06,023
We're eating, we're living,
I'm paying the bills.
923
00:42:06,090 --> 00:42:08,492
They haven't even looked
at Brittany's estate yet.
924
00:42:08,559 --> 00:42:10,160
- He didn't have any work going,
925
00:42:10,227 --> 00:42:12,138
and he wasn't producing
anything or writing anything.
926
00:42:12,162 --> 00:42:13,898
But now he's kind of
in a financial position
927
00:42:13,998 --> 00:42:16,333
where he doesn't have control
over any of her money.
928
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:17,701
Sharon has all the money.
929
00:42:17,768 --> 00:42:19,737
- His job was Brittany Murphy,
930
00:42:19,837 --> 00:42:24,008
so he had to think of ways
to make money.
931
00:42:24,074 --> 00:42:25,376
- Where do you two go from here?
932
00:42:25,442 --> 00:42:28,345
You go back East?
- I'm going where...
933
00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:32,783
We're glued.
We need each other.
934
00:42:32,883 --> 00:42:34,251
- We have a job to do.
935
00:42:34,351 --> 00:42:36,587
It's called
the Brittany Murphy Foundation.
936
00:42:36,687 --> 00:42:41,058
For young people, for education,
937
00:42:41,125 --> 00:42:43,193
for things like
what's going on in Haiti.
938
00:42:45,763 --> 00:42:47,798
- In the weeks after she died,
939
00:42:47,898 --> 00:42:49,567
I couldn't process it.
940
00:42:49,633 --> 00:42:53,270
So, within a few days,
I think either I reached out
941
00:42:53,370 --> 00:42:55,039
to the family
or they reached out to...
942
00:42:55,105 --> 00:42:57,274
I forget which,
'cause it was a kind of a blur.
943
00:42:57,374 --> 00:43:00,778
But I remember I said,
"Let me put together
944
00:43:00,878 --> 00:43:03,280
a compilation video,
like a memorial video."
945
00:43:05,149 --> 00:43:06,917
I remember I was
in the middle of editing
946
00:43:06,984 --> 00:43:08,319
this memorial video,
947
00:43:08,419 --> 00:43:10,254
email arrived
with an invitation,
948
00:43:10,321 --> 00:43:11,956
and it talked
about a contribution
949
00:43:12,056 --> 00:43:13,557
to the Brittany Murphy
Foundation...
950
00:43:13,624 --> 00:43:15,626
A cash amount that was requested
951
00:43:15,726 --> 00:43:17,628
of several thousand dollars
or something,
952
00:43:17,728 --> 00:43:22,399
and I kept thinking,
"Why would you do that?"
953
00:43:22,466 --> 00:43:25,469
- Simon comes out
and tells the world
954
00:43:25,569 --> 00:43:27,547
that he started a foundation
and that he is going to
955
00:43:27,571 --> 00:43:29,907
charge friends and family
to come to this memorial.
956
00:43:29,974 --> 00:43:34,078
It was just viewed as tacky
and money-grubbing.
957
00:43:34,144 --> 00:43:36,647
- I remember having a really
negative reaction to it.
958
00:43:36,747 --> 00:43:39,650
And I called a few people,
and they agreed.
959
00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:41,752
I think within, like,
literally, within hours,
960
00:43:41,819 --> 00:43:43,754
some of the press
had picked up on it,
961
00:43:43,821 --> 00:43:45,522
and there was major pushback.
962
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:47,358
And not a surprise,
within a few days,
963
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:50,327
the whole thing evaporated,
and there never was a memorial.
964
00:43:50,427 --> 00:43:53,130
- The world could see
that this man was now trying
965
00:43:53,197 --> 00:43:54,765
to profit off
of his wife's death
966
00:43:54,832 --> 00:43:57,267
in a really bizarre way.
967
00:43:57,334 --> 00:44:00,371
- He was just kind of,
like, a scammy guy.
968
00:44:00,471 --> 00:44:02,172
He was a little scammer.
969
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:05,542
- You go from Ashton Kutcher
to Simon Monjack,
970
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:06,710
and there's some...
971
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,278
There's some questions there.
972
00:44:15,786 --> 00:44:18,222
- We both liked the same boy
at one point.
973
00:44:18,322 --> 00:44:19,823
She got him, though.
974
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,225
Thanks.
975
00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:22,893
- There was some
flirtation going on,
976
00:44:22,993 --> 00:44:24,695
and then I showed up
to some party,
977
00:44:24,795 --> 00:44:27,998
and he's like, "Yeah, that's
my new girlfriend, Brittany."
978
00:44:28,065 --> 00:44:30,567
It's like, "Oh, cool."
979
00:44:32,970 --> 00:44:34,672
- At the time, for women,
980
00:44:34,738 --> 00:44:37,074
that was not
a lot of opportunities.
981
00:44:37,174 --> 00:44:38,909
There could be rom-coms
982
00:44:39,009 --> 00:44:41,812
focused on a female audience
of, like,
983
00:44:41,879 --> 00:44:45,249
some amazing romance
that has some funny stuff
984
00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:47,151
and weird beginnings
or whatever.
985
00:44:47,217 --> 00:44:48,919
I don't know
what the pattern is.
986
00:44:49,019 --> 00:44:52,356
They were trying to stick her
into that for a while.
987
00:44:52,423 --> 00:44:55,059
And, you know,
her and Ashton seemed cute.
988
00:44:55,159 --> 00:44:57,194
- Ashton and Brittany,
989
00:44:57,261 --> 00:44:59,596
from pretty early on,
990
00:44:59,697 --> 00:45:01,337
even before they were
romantically linked,
991
00:45:01,398 --> 00:45:04,068
there was just
a chemistry to them,
992
00:45:04,168 --> 00:45:06,537
comedically, physically,
and on-screen.
993
00:45:06,603 --> 00:45:08,939
And the fact that
that carried off-screen
994
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:10,574
fed into a narrative
995
00:45:10,674 --> 00:45:12,743
that certainly didn't hurt
the movie.
996
00:45:14,611 --> 00:45:16,880
- In a way, "Just Married"
is the height
997
00:45:16,947 --> 00:45:18,782
of her as a movie star.
998
00:45:18,882 --> 00:45:21,185
It makes just over $100 million,
999
00:45:21,251 --> 00:45:22,753
and she is dating Ashton Kutcher
1000
00:45:22,853 --> 00:45:24,621
at the time
that they're promoting it.
1001
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:27,024
That's her being an it girl.
1002
00:45:27,091 --> 00:45:29,860
- Star of "Just Married."
- With Brittany Murphy.
1003
00:45:29,927 --> 00:45:31,261
- Which is your new girlfriend.
1004
00:45:31,361 --> 00:45:33,230
She got to be big
from "Clueless,"
1005
00:45:33,297 --> 00:45:35,208
but can you believe she was
the ugly chick in "Clueless"?
1006
00:45:35,232 --> 00:45:36,600
But she was a fat, ugly chick.
1007
00:45:36,700 --> 00:45:38,602
She tried to transform herself.
1008
00:45:38,702 --> 00:45:40,437
What are you talking about?
1009
00:45:40,537 --> 00:45:42,348
I don't mean to be hard on
your girlfriend, but she seems
1010
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:43,883
like she's been around the
block a couple of times.
1011
00:45:43,907 --> 00:45:45,507
- You know what?
I think she's had, like,
1012
00:45:45,542 --> 00:45:47,211
three boyfriends ever.
- Oh, really?
1013
00:45:47,277 --> 00:45:49,189
You better wear a condom.
She's been with Eminem.
1014
00:45:49,213 --> 00:45:51,248
- Oh, stop it.
What are you saying?
1015
00:45:51,315 --> 00:45:52,892
- I'm just saying, who knows
what he's been up to?
1016
00:45:52,916 --> 00:45:54,451
When you saw
the movie "Clueless,"
1017
00:45:54,551 --> 00:45:56,120
did you ever think
you'd be banging her?
1018
00:45:56,220 --> 00:45:57,731
- Yeah, but you know
what they always do
1019
00:45:57,755 --> 00:45:59,156
with the ugly girl in the movie?
1020
00:45:59,256 --> 00:46:00,724
It's always, like, a pretty girl
1021
00:46:00,791 --> 00:46:02,593
that they, like, do down.
- It's true.
1022
00:46:02,659 --> 00:46:04,561
- But she was a fat, ugly chick.
1023
00:46:04,628 --> 00:46:06,597
- She wasn't fat. Howard...
1024
00:46:06,663 --> 00:46:08,665
- What are you talking about?
1025
00:46:08,766 --> 00:46:10,300
- Those people are complicit.
1026
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:11,840
All of the people
who wrote about her
1027
00:46:11,902 --> 00:46:13,904
and talked about her
and made the headline
1028
00:46:13,971 --> 00:46:16,306
about this gorgeous...
1029
00:46:16,406 --> 00:46:19,910
She wasn't even, like,
in society's terms, fat.
1030
00:46:19,977 --> 00:46:21,478
She was, like, perfectly sized.
1031
00:46:21,578 --> 00:46:24,648
And then she goes, "Okay,"
and loses the weight,
1032
00:46:24,748 --> 00:46:27,117
and we're not sure
if it was healthy or not
1033
00:46:27,184 --> 00:46:28,819
and then still after her.
1034
00:46:28,919 --> 00:46:30,521
It's like, leave women alone.
1035
00:46:30,621 --> 00:46:33,290
Let her do her damn job.
We don't do this to men.
1036
00:46:35,826 --> 00:46:38,262
- I read everything
that is written about me.
1037
00:46:38,328 --> 00:46:41,665
"All the bad things that are
said and all the bad reports.
1038
00:46:41,765 --> 00:46:45,002
"I am not and never have been
anorexic or bulimic.
1039
00:46:45,102 --> 00:46:47,371
"Also, Ashton
didn't break up with me.
1040
00:46:47,471 --> 00:46:49,540
It was mutual."
- There's a price to pay
1041
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,175
for being a celebrity, for sure.
1042
00:46:51,275 --> 00:46:53,086
I mean, if you start out
wanting to be an artist
1043
00:46:53,110 --> 00:46:54,654
and then you find out
you're a celebrity,
1044
00:46:54,678 --> 00:46:56,256
it's not always what you think
it's gonna be.
1045
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:57,648
It can take a toll
on everything.
1046
00:46:57,714 --> 00:46:59,550
It can take a toll
on your health
1047
00:46:59,650 --> 00:47:01,852
and on your relationships.
1048
00:47:01,952 --> 00:47:03,987
- Do you remember when
she broke up with Ashton?
1049
00:47:04,054 --> 00:47:05,556
- Mm-hmm.
- Them dating?
1050
00:47:05,656 --> 00:47:06,723
- Mm-hmm.
1051
00:47:06,824 --> 00:47:08,358
I don't want to talk about that.
1052
00:47:08,458 --> 00:47:10,027
Who cares?
Just a breakup.
1053
00:47:10,127 --> 00:47:13,197
- I know that there
were situations
1054
00:47:13,297 --> 00:47:14,965
that left her heartbroken.
1055
00:47:15,032 --> 00:47:18,569
She must have been, like,
searching for something
1056
00:47:18,669 --> 00:47:22,139
that wasn't coming through
or wasn't being realistic
1057
00:47:22,206 --> 00:47:25,042
in the sort of
Hollywood universe.
1058
00:47:34,852 --> 00:47:37,855
- I think as human beings,
we second-guess ourselves,
1059
00:47:37,921 --> 00:47:41,992
and we wonder, and we also
get used to habits and...
1060
00:47:42,059 --> 00:47:43,427
And depending on certain people
1061
00:47:43,527 --> 00:47:44,838
that may be unhealthy
for your life.
1062
00:47:44,862 --> 00:47:46,302
And you don't realize it
at the time,
1063
00:47:46,363 --> 00:47:47,740
but once you're free of them,
then you realize
1064
00:47:47,764 --> 00:47:49,199
there's a whole universe
out there,
1065
00:47:49,266 --> 00:47:51,235
and you feel like
a complete new person again.
1066
00:47:54,738 --> 00:47:57,441
- Brittany Murphy had
dated around in a normal way
1067
00:47:57,541 --> 00:47:59,176
for someone in their 20s.
1068
00:47:59,243 --> 00:48:01,378
Ashton Kutcher told a source
he had never met anyone
1069
00:48:01,445 --> 00:48:03,080
who wanted
to get married so badly.
1070
00:48:03,180 --> 00:48:04,615
She was ready to settle down.
1071
00:48:04,715 --> 00:48:07,684
She got engaged to an older man.
1072
00:48:07,751 --> 00:48:09,186
That did not work out.
1073
00:48:09,253 --> 00:48:10,954
She dated someone
who worked on the crew.
1074
00:48:11,054 --> 00:48:13,123
He was sort of
a younger, hot guy
1075
00:48:13,223 --> 00:48:14,725
that was around
the same age as her
1076
00:48:14,791 --> 00:48:16,593
and they got engaged as well.
1077
00:48:16,693 --> 00:48:19,596
She broke up with him
just before she stopped
1078
00:48:19,696 --> 00:48:21,632
working on "Ramen Girl"
in Tokyo.
1079
00:48:21,732 --> 00:48:25,969
- I thought it was so brave
coming to Tokyo,
1080
00:48:26,069 --> 00:48:29,106
but I'm a complete mess.
1081
00:48:29,206 --> 00:48:32,309
I'm so alone.
1082
00:48:34,544 --> 00:48:37,481
- She landed back in L.A.,
1083
00:48:37,581 --> 00:48:39,149
and she was single,
1084
00:48:39,249 --> 00:48:42,619
and she had a meeting set up
with Simon Monjack,
1085
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,290
who was known as a writer
and a director as well.
1086
00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:47,958
So she went
and took this meeting.
1087
00:48:48,058 --> 00:48:50,560
From that day on, basically
they were inseparable.
1088
00:48:50,627 --> 00:48:52,296
She was ready.
1089
00:48:52,396 --> 00:48:54,932
This Simon Monjack seemed
to also want to settle down,
1090
00:48:54,998 --> 00:48:57,038
and I think they came
to those terms pretty quickly,
1091
00:48:57,067 --> 00:48:58,669
where they were both serious.
1092
00:48:58,769 --> 00:49:02,306
So that's where Brittany was
when she met Simon.
1093
00:49:02,406 --> 00:49:04,141
- So stop living your life
1094
00:49:04,241 --> 00:49:05,551
like you're
in some kind of a movie.
1095
00:49:05,575 --> 00:49:07,477
- Excuse me?
- Stop trying to cast
1096
00:49:07,577 --> 00:49:09,446
your true love instead
of just meeting him.
1097
00:49:09,513 --> 00:49:11,648
Love isn't always
a lightning bolt, you know?
1098
00:49:11,748 --> 00:49:12,983
Maybe true love is a decision
1099
00:49:13,083 --> 00:49:14,685
to take a chance with somebody.
1100
00:49:14,785 --> 00:49:17,621
Maybe love isn't something
that happens to you.
1101
00:49:17,688 --> 00:49:20,123
Maybe it's something
you have to choose.
1102
00:49:20,190 --> 00:49:21,992
- So what do I do?
- Well, you could start
1103
00:49:22,092 --> 00:49:24,328
by putting all of those
fantasies of true love
1104
00:49:24,428 --> 00:49:26,096
where they belong...
1105
00:49:26,163 --> 00:49:27,931
Into a work of fiction.
1106
00:49:29,967 --> 00:49:32,970
- I think she had
not a great track record
1107
00:49:33,036 --> 00:49:35,539
with men who cared about her.
1108
00:49:35,639 --> 00:49:37,140
And she was a romantic.
1109
00:49:37,207 --> 00:49:40,177
She really wanted to find a guy
1110
00:49:40,277 --> 00:49:42,179
who loved her, and...
1111
00:49:42,279 --> 00:49:46,183
I really wonder if she thought
she had found that in Simon.
1112
00:49:46,283 --> 00:49:50,854
Personally, I hope she had
so she had that peace.
1113
00:49:50,954 --> 00:49:53,523
I think it's crystal clear
1114
00:49:53,623 --> 00:49:56,393
Simon was interested in Simon,
1115
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:57,794
not in Brittany.
1116
00:49:57,861 --> 00:49:59,363
- She wanted to marry him.
1117
00:49:59,463 --> 00:50:01,865
And I said, "Honey,
it's not been long enough."
1118
00:50:01,965 --> 00:50:05,402
I think we were all sort of
saying the same thing,
1119
00:50:05,502 --> 00:50:06,703
except for Sharon.
1120
00:50:06,803 --> 00:50:09,873
I think Sharon was
for the marriage.
1121
00:50:09,973 --> 00:50:13,043
- Sharon raised Brittany
as a single mom,
1122
00:50:13,143 --> 00:50:15,645
and Simon became
the man of the house.
1123
00:50:15,712 --> 00:50:18,048
Sharon and Brittany
had blind faith.
1124
00:50:18,148 --> 00:50:20,317
If Simon said,
"We have to do this,"
1125
00:50:20,384 --> 00:50:21,885
there was no question.
1126
00:50:21,985 --> 00:50:23,420
They did it.
1127
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,255
- Her father left
when she was quite young,
1128
00:50:25,355 --> 00:50:28,058
and there was definitely
an issue there.
1129
00:50:28,158 --> 00:50:30,727
She was in search
of a father figure,
1130
00:50:30,827 --> 00:50:33,663
somebody who would take care
of her and her mom.
1131
00:50:33,730 --> 00:50:36,066
Simon gave her
so much attention,
1132
00:50:36,166 --> 00:50:38,068
and he said
that he was a billionaire.
1133
00:50:38,168 --> 00:50:40,937
- The transition
that Brittany made
1134
00:50:41,038 --> 00:50:44,274
was parallel with the
transition that Sharon made.
1135
00:50:44,374 --> 00:50:48,845
From a very focused,
caring, strong mom
1136
00:50:48,912 --> 00:50:51,715
to someone
who seemed hypnotized.
1137
00:50:51,782 --> 00:50:54,217
We all were scared
and freaked out.
1138
00:50:54,284 --> 00:50:56,720
Like, who was this guy?
1139
00:50:56,787 --> 00:50:58,755
And what was happening?
1140
00:51:05,262 --> 00:51:07,931
- The coroner's office says
Murphy's autopsy is complete,
1141
00:51:08,031 --> 00:51:10,801
and results from toxicology
and tissue tests
1142
00:51:10,901 --> 00:51:14,638
will help in determining
the official cause of death.
1143
00:51:16,073 --> 00:51:18,475
- I'm Dr. Lisa Scheinin,
1144
00:51:18,575 --> 00:51:20,077
deputy medical examiner,
1145
00:51:20,143 --> 00:51:22,446
also known as
a forensic pathologist,
1146
00:51:22,546 --> 00:51:25,615
and I did the autopsy
on Brittany Murphy.
1147
00:51:25,715 --> 00:51:26,950
I love puzzles.
1148
00:51:27,050 --> 00:51:29,152
I always do puzzles every day.
1149
00:51:29,252 --> 00:51:32,789
And to me, an autopsy is just
another puzzle to solve.
1150
00:51:35,225 --> 00:51:37,961
One of the things I did
was a blood count.
1151
00:51:38,061 --> 00:51:42,599
Hemoglobin is the compound
inside the red blood cells
1152
00:51:42,666 --> 00:51:44,334
that carries the oxygen.
1153
00:51:44,434 --> 00:51:48,238
Her hemoglobin was 3.0.
1154
00:51:48,305 --> 00:51:51,975
The normal is 12 to 15 1/2.
1155
00:51:52,075 --> 00:51:55,812
So all of that was saying that
this is a very anemic person.
1156
00:51:55,912 --> 00:51:59,249
If she had
had this test, let's say,
1157
00:51:59,316 --> 00:52:01,651
a week or two before dying
1158
00:52:01,751 --> 00:52:03,620
and they had a result like this,
1159
00:52:03,687 --> 00:52:07,524
any decent doctor
would have her in the ER,
1160
00:52:07,624 --> 00:52:10,827
hooked up to a transfusion
as quick as they possibly could
1161
00:52:10,927 --> 00:52:13,296
because this is
a life-threatening situation.
1162
00:52:15,265 --> 00:52:18,034
We do a very quick and easy test
1163
00:52:18,135 --> 00:52:20,637
to see if the lungs float
in water or not.
1164
00:52:20,704 --> 00:52:22,139
They're supposed to float
in water
1165
00:52:22,205 --> 00:52:24,045
because they're supposed
to be filled with air.
1166
00:52:24,107 --> 00:52:26,376
So you just fill a bucket
with water.
1167
00:52:26,476 --> 00:52:28,178
You take a little section
of the lung,
1168
00:52:28,278 --> 00:52:30,947
dump it in the water,
see if it floats.
1169
00:52:31,014 --> 00:52:34,518
We took a section
from every lobe of the lung,
1170
00:52:34,618 --> 00:52:36,887
three of them sank.
1171
00:52:36,987 --> 00:52:40,490
So this tells us we've got
a severe pneumonia going on.
1172
00:52:40,557 --> 00:52:42,192
This was not something
1173
00:52:42,292 --> 00:52:45,028
that she just got
a day or so before.
1174
00:52:45,128 --> 00:52:49,199
She was walking around
with this for some time.
1175
00:52:49,299 --> 00:52:52,302
The third thing was
the toxicology test.
1176
00:52:52,369 --> 00:52:55,739
She had no evidence of alcohol
1177
00:52:55,839 --> 00:52:59,176
or any drugs of abuse
in her system.
1178
00:52:59,242 --> 00:53:02,345
She had all prescription
1179
00:53:02,412 --> 00:53:05,549
and over-the-counter
medications.
1180
00:53:05,649 --> 00:53:08,251
The anemia in itself
would've been fatal,
1181
00:53:08,351 --> 00:53:09,753
even without the pneumonia.
1182
00:53:09,853 --> 00:53:11,254
The pneumonia was fatal.
1183
00:53:11,354 --> 00:53:13,390
And then you're adding this
to the equation.
1184
00:53:13,490 --> 00:53:16,193
This could be the straw
that breaks the camel's back.
1185
00:53:16,259 --> 00:53:20,263
In the end, I called the
main cause of death pneumonia
1186
00:53:20,363 --> 00:53:22,699
and then contributory factors...
1187
00:53:22,766 --> 00:53:24,935
I put the iron deficiency
anemia.
1188
00:53:25,035 --> 00:53:27,737
She probably had
her resistance lowered
1189
00:53:27,837 --> 00:53:29,739
because
of the very severe anemia,
1190
00:53:29,839 --> 00:53:31,575
then this pneumonia comes along,
1191
00:53:31,675 --> 00:53:33,109
and it tips the scales.
1192
00:53:33,210 --> 00:53:36,680
If she had gotten
to a hospital early enough,
1193
00:53:36,746 --> 00:53:39,950
you can detect a pneumonia
on the chest X-ray.
1194
00:53:40,050 --> 00:53:42,085
It's very easy to do.
1195
00:53:42,185 --> 00:53:44,921
They could have possibly
started treatment.
1196
00:53:45,021 --> 00:53:47,390
But she would've had a chance.
1197
00:53:49,593 --> 00:53:51,628
- You know,
a healthy, young person
1198
00:53:51,728 --> 00:53:53,597
doesn't die of pneumonia.
1199
00:53:53,697 --> 00:53:54,898
I don't understand.
1200
00:53:54,965 --> 00:53:56,933
I... that doesn't...
The whole thing...
1201
00:53:57,033 --> 00:53:59,936
That answer
didn't really satisfy me.
1202
00:54:00,036 --> 00:54:01,471
- Usually
when an autopsy comes out,
1203
00:54:01,571 --> 00:54:02,939
somebody passes away,
1204
00:54:03,039 --> 00:54:06,543
the coroner says
this is how this person died,
1205
00:54:06,610 --> 00:54:08,445
and that's the end of the story.
1206
00:54:08,545 --> 00:54:10,080
In this particular case,
1207
00:54:10,146 --> 00:54:11,581
it wasn't the end of the story.
1208
00:54:11,648 --> 00:54:13,250
There were more
unanswered questions
1209
00:54:13,316 --> 00:54:14,618
after the autopsy came out
1210
00:54:14,718 --> 00:54:16,453
than there were
answered questions.
1211
00:54:16,553 --> 00:54:19,623
- It says her cause of death
was pneumonia.
1212
00:54:19,723 --> 00:54:22,292
Pneumonia, pneumonia, pneumonia?
1213
00:54:22,392 --> 00:54:24,828
- She was a celebrity.
She was very affluent.
1214
00:54:24,928 --> 00:54:26,429
She had money.
She had the means.
1215
00:54:26,496 --> 00:54:29,599
- Again, I would've took
my wife to the hospital.
1216
00:54:29,666 --> 00:54:32,736
- You knew that she'd been
sick for a long time.
1217
00:54:32,802 --> 00:54:34,471
Why didn't you take her
to the doctor?
1218
00:54:34,571 --> 00:54:36,973
- Was there anything
out of the ordinary
1219
00:54:37,073 --> 00:54:41,978
with her in the days or weeks
or months prior to her death?
1220
00:54:42,078 --> 00:54:44,147
Sharon, anything?
- No.
1221
00:54:44,247 --> 00:54:45,148
- No.
1222
00:54:45,248 --> 00:54:47,150
She was...
1223
00:54:47,250 --> 00:54:50,320
We had... all had
a little bit of a...
1224
00:54:50,420 --> 00:54:54,157
upper respiratory, um, flu
1225
00:54:54,257 --> 00:54:56,793
'cause we were traveling.
1226
00:54:56,860 --> 00:54:59,462
She had it the least
of the three of us.
1227
00:54:59,529 --> 00:55:01,431
- She had a little bit
of laryngitis.
1228
00:55:01,498 --> 00:55:02,666
- Laryngitis, yes.
1229
00:55:02,766 --> 00:55:04,834
- That was the only thing,
and she...
1230
00:55:04,934 --> 00:55:06,536
Other than that, she was,
1231
00:55:06,636 --> 00:55:09,839
you know, perfectly healthy
and well.
1232
00:55:09,939 --> 00:55:11,675
- Something made her sick,
1233
00:55:11,775 --> 00:55:15,512
and I did get
the feeling that he knew.
1234
00:55:15,612 --> 00:55:20,150
- I think that Simon realized
that I wasn't stupid.
1235
00:55:20,216 --> 00:55:23,687
He did his best to just
kind of stay low profile.
1236
00:55:23,787 --> 00:55:27,324
- It was believed that
he contributed to her death
1237
00:55:27,390 --> 00:55:28,858
in at least some way.
1238
00:55:28,958 --> 00:55:31,027
So, you know,
you start backwards.
1239
00:55:31,127 --> 00:55:32,495
You start with Brittany.
1240
00:55:34,998 --> 00:55:36,566
And you say, "Okay.
1241
00:55:36,666 --> 00:55:38,968
"Something horrible
went on here.
1242
00:55:39,035 --> 00:55:40,737
Like, so who is this guy?"
1243
00:55:40,837 --> 00:55:42,539
- ♪ I'll never tell ♪
1244
00:55:42,639 --> 00:55:45,175
- A healthy 32-year-old
doesn't just die.
1245
00:55:45,241 --> 00:55:47,077
- ♪ I'll never tell ♪
1246
00:55:47,177 --> 00:55:49,079
- I was gonna find out his lies
1247
00:55:49,179 --> 00:55:50,880
and some of the stuff
he'd been doing,
1248
00:55:50,980 --> 00:55:52,649
some of his past history.
1249
00:55:52,716 --> 00:55:54,351
- ♪ I'll never tell ♪
1250
00:55:54,417 --> 00:55:58,054
- Who was this guy,
and what was happening?
1251
00:55:58,154 --> 00:56:00,724
- ♪ I'll never tell ♪
1252
00:56:01,658 --> 00:56:04,561
Any of you.
1253
00:56:04,661 --> 00:56:07,430
Any of you.

who was Simon Monjack?
