Just weeks ago, a smiling Brittany spoke with Access at the Tt Collection Pop-Up Party in LA on December 3, where she discussed her hopes for the coming year.
"As far as having a New Year's resolution, I'd love to have a child next year," she said at the time. "But that's kind of a large one!"
The actress also spoke of her love for her family, whom she said she was very close to.
"I've been very blessed to have a really great loving husband," she said. "I spend more time with my family than anyone else in the world"
Brittany rose to fame after a memorable role in 1995's "Clueless." She went on to star in such films as "8 Mile," "Just Married," "Girl, Interrupted," "Sin City" and "Riding In Cars With Boys," among others.
She also made a splash in the music world with the track "Faster Kill Pussycat," with Paul Oakenfold in 2006 - the track topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart that year. She also sang a pair of songs for the animated film "Happy Feet," in which she was also a voice actress.
Brittany was married to screenwriter Simon Monjack, whom she wed in May 2007.
