    Never heard of her.

    I've heard the "King of the Hill" voice-over and she was good at that.

    Two things:
    First, reading the CNN story on her and came across the note that she played the "pudgy" outsider in "Clueless." Really? Pudgy? Egads. What, did she weigh three pounds over her target weight?

    Second, the story also includes the publicist's plea to "respect the family's privacy." Oh, STFU. I'm sick of hearing PR hacks unfurl that one. As if it actually means anything at this point. Just STFU, hack-girl. Your client was famous, 32yo and dropped dead. People are gonna want to know why.

    Isn't it friggen weird that SNL was just making fun of her two weeks ago? I mean, it's not like she was in the news or relevant lately.

    Maybe the diabeetus did her in.

    Manger Babies in heaven, who ever brought that up is the friggin bomb!

    Brit was a decent actree. 8 Mile was a so so role, Clueless was great but she was just awesome as the voice of Louanne.

    She played some strange roles (Don't Say a Word) but she could also carry a romantic comedy (Little Black Book). So much potential wiped out.

    Saw that too ... How the hell was she "pudgy" in that movie? If that's pudgy, me likely pudgy.

    That's not pudgy ... it's called being healthy.

    Just saw on TMZ that the husband requested no autopsy. Oh yeah, drugs not involved at all. ::)

    Her husband had a medical emergency on a flight a few weeks ago. Stopped breathing, I believe. Yeah, these two weren't indulging in serious drugs together at all.

    Edit: As mentioned about four times previously. My apologies.
