He also mentioned Murphy had been under doctor's care while she was sick but that up until she was discovered on the floor of her bathroom floor, the day had been "just a regular day", according to husband and screenwriter Simon Monjack.

In a 5-minute clip, filmed by Artisan News Service, Murphy goes on camera to promote her "emotionally exhausting" movie The Dead Girl in 2006 saying, ""Take care of yourself, drink water. Those are things I've learned throughout the years that are just important," she suggested of her tough days at work. "I'm not left depressed," she said of her sometimes depressed characters. "Its not my life."

What is, she says, are family Christmases. "No matter what's going on in our lives - Even if we can only be there a half a day, we all get together," she says. "We're a very close knit family. We're stronger as a unit then we are separately and that's something that I definitely take on to my own children one day."

Of the holidays and it being Brittany's favorite time of year, she says, "It's so magical". (Editor's Note: Due to the fact I'm unable to embed the video, here is the link. It's definitely worth the watch).
