Brittany Murphy (born November 10, 1977) is an American actress who is perhaps best known for her performance as Tai Frazier in Clueless.
Murphy was born in Atlanta, but was a frequent traveller since she was young; she moved to the New York area and from there, to Burbank, California, with her mother, who had divorced her father when Murphy was young. When she was nine years old, she landed a singing role on Les Misיrables, and by the time she was 13, she already had a manager. Murphy landed her first job at Hollywood when she was 14, participating in a show named Drexell's Class.
