What Happened, Brittany Murphy? (HBO Max) - Durham filmmaker Cynthia Hill uses new interviews and archival footage to re-examine the mysterious circumstances surrounding actress Brittany Murphy’s death in 2009, and the death of her husband, Simon Monjack, just a few months later. For the documentary, Hill gained access to many of the people closest to Murphy and Monjack (though not Murphy’s mother, Sharon, who was present when both Murphy and Monjack died), and those interviews paint a pretty complete picture of the dysfunction in the actress’s life. Read more about the documentary here.
