Pictures Of Brittany Murphy In Last Movie Surface; "Abandoned" director: She "Was A Pro"
Photos of fallen star Brittany Murphy playing what would be her final movie role have emerged -- and the director who guided her in "Abandoned" is adamantly refuting claims the actress was difficult to work with.
"It hurts me to hear all this salacious stuff because my experience with Brittany was really one of my best experiences with an actress," director Michael Feifer told People.com.
"Brittany was a pro," he said. "When she needed to turn it on, she just threw a switch and she was on ... playing frantic came really easy and playing sweet came really easy."
In the film, Murphy plays a woman desperately trying to find her boyfriend when he vanishes from a hospital. During the course of the movie, London's Daily mail reported, her character, Mary Walsh, faces down threats to her life -- and her sanity.
Murphy's British screenwriter husband, Simon Monjack, also was involved in the flick, working on the actress’ hair and makeup.
"The two of them really took care of each other," Feifer told The Associated Press. "He was her teddy bear, and she was just his little princess."
Feifer hopes to release the indie thriller –- which Murphy shot in June -- in 2010.
At least one colleague who worked with her on a movie set in recent months -- while praising her work ethic -- raised concerns about the actress' health.
"She looked ill, as much as 10 pounds underweight, and she's a small person to begin with," Scott Chambers reportedly told the Los Angeles Times. "She easily could have made an excuse not to come to work, but she didn't. She said, 'I've got to get better, but I want to do this part.' "
Chambers was an executive producer on the thriller "Something Wicked."
Murphy finished shooting the flick, in which she plays a psychiatrist, just days before beginning work on "Abandoned."
After finishing "Abandoned," Murphy worked on a film called "The Caller," but left the project over what her representative described as "creative differences," People.com reports.
The 32-year-old "Clueless" and "Sin City" star died after collapsing at her Hollywood home Sunday morning.
Her husband has vociferously struck back at rumors swirling that Murphy's death was an overdose.
"I'm confident it wasn't an overdose," he told the Daily News. "She was not a drug addict."
He confirmed that investigators hauled away a trove of prescription medicines -- "but nothing else," calling reports the beauty abused drugs "rubbish."
