Lifetime Original Movie, The Brittany Murphy Story, premieres on Saturday, September 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The Brittany Murphy Story follows the life of talented young actress Brittany (Amanda Fuller) and her supportive mother Sharon Murphy (Sherilyn Fenn), determined to help make Brittany a star.

Brittany Murphy was only 32 years old when she died…but how? Drugs? Poison? As tabloid reporters pounce on her home, Brittany’s husband Simon Monjack and her mother Sharon blame Hollywood for Brittany’s death. How did this shining star from New Jersey who soared to instant fame in Clueless end up marrying a man who was known for swindling women and spiral into a life of anti-depressants? This is the true story of how Brittany’s Hollywood dream turned into a nightmare.
