This is seriously the year of death and I can't wait 10 more days until it's over. I have known or know of at least 20 people that died this year (some famous, some not), including 3 others in the last 2 weeks alone. Hopefully we can get through the next 10 days without losing anyone else.

I haven't heard about this yet. She was a good actress, so sad for her family and friends.

Wow. This is a shock. This has been such a horrible year as far as celebrity deaths go.

RIP Brittany.

Her role in "8 Mile" was actually a pretty good one. That movie was entertaining for me, regardless of what the critics or media said about it. She was an attractive and talented person that will be missed. I hate to see anybody go at such a young age. This might sound pretty cynical, but it makes me wonder who is next.

Well this is a lovely way to come home from work...find out yet another amazing actress is gone.

This year has just been horrible. We've lost so many great people, it's just not fair.

my thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. RIP Brittany.

[Cody Lee]

Sucks, she was really young

I saw this the other day too, it's really sad. I'm with you Jami. This has been a really bad year as far as deaths go, I am also happy it is over soon hopefully we won't lose too many more people. Young or not...

I know, I read about it on Sunday and I couldn't believe that she has died. . It has been a really bad year for deaths, it is sad that we have lost so many people.

Clueless, Girl Interrupted, Don't Say A Word, Just Married, Uptown Girls, Sin City are all part of my DVD collection. So I was indeed a major fan of her so the news was absolutely devastating, the other "celebrity" deaths were sad but this one truly hurt =[

I was just looking into purchasing her newest role in the film "Deadline" and I always wanted to see her as Harley Quinn someday. She was way too young, and one of the few actresses with actual talent. My thoughts and heart go out to her family and close friends.

<3

Yeah I know that feeling, earlier this year one of my best friends died and then later on this year my grandfather died. It has been a really rough year. =(
