So American actress, Brittany Murphy died at the age of 32 of a heart attack. The fact that her mother found dead in the shower makes my heart bleed a little bit.
I first witnessed Brittany’s charms when I was twelve years old. Me and my two buddies from school went on a Friday night adventure to see Clueless at Purley cinema in Croydon. We also necked a bottle of something sweet and alcoholic before we went, which resulted in me passing our cold on the way – this happens, more than I’d like to admit. This is beside the point though.
That film changed my world. I fell in love with the costumes and dreamt of Cher’s electronic wardrobe for months after. I wanted to be her and I wanted Tai (Brittany’s character) to be my friend. The girl from the wrong side of the track trying to impressed the glamorous rich kids. I could empathise.
She was so sweet and adorable, you could tell she had a great future in films ahead of her. Clueless will always be one of my favourites and I'll always think fondly of Brittany Murphy. I've been humming that Mentos song for over a decade now, infact I'm doing it right now!
Check out some of my favourite Tai-ism’s:
Tai: “Cher, I don't want to do this anymore. And my buns: they don't feel nothin' like steel.”
Tai: “I could really use some sort of herbal refreshment”
Dionne: “Oh, well we do lunch in ten minutes. We don't have any tea, but we have Coke and stuff.”
Tai: “No shit. You guys got Coke here?”
Dionne: “Well, yeah.”
Cher: “Yeah, this is America”
Tai: “Wow, you guys talk like grown-ups!”
Tai: “Shit, you guys, I have never had straight friends before!”
