Murphy Was In Talks To Front Ex Kutcher’s New Tv Project
By WENNThursday, May 13, 2010
BRITTANY MURPHY was in talks to star in one of ex-boyfriend ASHTON KUTCHER’s upcoming TV projects in the months before her death in December (09).
Kutcher has revealed he met with his Just Married co-star late last year (09) and admits Murphy was the only actress he wanted for the role he had in mind.
Unfortunately, she died before he had the chance to start the top secret project.
He says, “We were casting a TV show that we were producing, and I wanted her to play this role in it, and she came in and I got to see her probably about two months before she passed away.”
Murphy died from pneumonia at the age of 32 on 20 December (09), and her ex has paid a full tribute to the actress in a new TV interview with U.S. news anchor Cynthia McFadden, admitting he still can’t make sense of her death.
In the Nightline interview, which will air in America on Thursday (13May10), Kutcher says, “I just celebrate who she was. She was, like, the person who walked in the room and she was always the first person to dance. You know when you go to a party and everybody is standing around, and the music is going and you know sooner or later everyone is going to dance. She was always the first person to dance.
“I just try to connect to that and celebrate who she was and how she was, and not make sense of it.”
