Brittany was born on November 10, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia and her parents were divorced when she was very young. She moved to New Jersey at a young age to persue acting across the river in New York. She did theatre productions off Broadway to make enough money to move to California and attempt to get into big production films. When she arrived in Hollywood she began acting in short-run television shows and got her big break in the film "Clueless". She has also been in a whole slew of films in the last few years but it is her work in Mike Judge's King of the Hill as the character Luanne Platter that has gotten her the most consecutive work and attention. Brittany is the type of women most teenage women identify with, just the average cute lovable teen.


Along with Brittany Murphy, Paul Oakenfold released the single "Faster Kill Pussycat" in 2006, with the album A Lively Mind which was released on June 6 in the United States. The song has become a club hit, and hit number one on Billboard magazine's Hot Dance Club Play chart. It also hit number seven in the UK singles chart in June 2006. She dabbled in music again with the release of her movie Happy Feet, in which she covered Queen's classic "Somebody to Love" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland".

Brittany is currently working on her debut album, which is inspired by synth-pop sound. She is working with various producers and DJs including with Paul Oakenfold, Chris Cox, Max Martin and Timbaland. The album will be released in 2009.
