"She made the jump from celebrity to artist, and my hats off to her for that.
"The work was genuine and authentic," he said. It's just not the way we expect things to go and the disappointment and pain of this rude awakening is very hard to ingest."īertolotti said Murphy's recent work showed that she found her "true voice." The loss is just unbearable to us all.I never thought in a million years she would cross the bridge before me, it just shouldn't be that way. "It's just not natural for a man of 54 to see his kid sister of 32 leave in such an abrupt manner as this. "As for me, I'm torn up inside beyond belief," he continued. A lot of love may have been cultivated, but who knew we would not get the chance to catch up down the road? I'm just so sorry myself, my brother Tony, and my baby sister Pia got caught in the crossfire.
"I knew the decisions made in reference to severing ties with this side of the family were done on her behalf out of her mother's love. "I haven't seen my little sis for eight years or so now due to family issues and Hollywood politics, but never have I lost my heart for that sweet little child," Jeff Bertolotti said in an e-mail to. Jeff Bertolotti, Murphy's half brother by father Angelo Bertolotti, said the family is devastated by the news. It is their wish that you respect their privacy." A Brother's Broken Heart Nicole Perna, Murphy's publicist, said in a statement Sunday night, "In this time of sadness, the family thanks everyone for their love and support. Through the day, Murphy's friends and family, including Murphy's sister, arrived at the house on Rising Glen Road in the hills above the Sunset Strip, where the actress lived with her husband, British screen-writer Simon Monjack. Officers from the robbery and homicide division were called in, as they are in most high profile cases, to go to Murphy's home and Cedars-Sinai Hospital. The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an investigation into Murphy's death, LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eiseman said. The star of "Clueless" and "8 Mile" was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and pronounced dead on arrival at 10:04 a.m. The 32-year-old actress once considered a rising star in Hollywood died Sunday, after suffering cardiac arrest at her home.

And perhaps more impressively, the critics responded rather favorably, with many celebrating Eminem's performance as a standout surprise. On November 8th, 2002, Shady's 8 Mile hit theaters, and it didn't take long for the Curtis Hanson-directed flick to become an instant commercial success.
