Amanda Fuller feels 'The Brittany Murphy Story' is a way to honor late actress

Amanda Fuller, who plays Brittany Murphy in 'The Brittany Murphy Story', said that the intention of the movie was to honor the late actress' memory.

The 30-year-old actress said that the movie was more about trying to capture her essence that she had and shed light to that struggle she had as she went further into the business, ABC News reported.

The movie would show how the late 'Clueless' actress changed quite a bit physically over her career, losing weight and going blonde and she can relate to it, she further added.

Fuller also mentioned that she learned a lot about Murphy she didn't know while filming the movie like she noted her obsession with high heels "because she was so small."

However, Murphy's father, Bertolotti, does not agree with the story line of this movie.

Murphy had her big break in the 1995 classic hit featuring Alicia Silverstone, then forged a career all her own, starring in other movies like "Just Married" and "Sin City." She married Simon Monjack in 2007 and mysteriously died in 2009 at the age of 32 after going into cardiac arrest. She had been suffering from pneumonia at the time of her death.
