Evaluate the article
Lead Section: The lead section does a good job outlining her contributions to major roles in film in chronological order. It establishes where she is from and at the end clarifies her passing. The lead section is straight to the point and includes the information outlined in the text. The article goes on to explain the Brittany Murphy foundation which is not included in the load section, but I feel that it should. This is an important aspect of her legacy which is crucial to establish in the lead section.

Content: The content is up to date and includes all of the films that she has been in. The content is up to date, including a section of her legacy that continues to be updated as they mention the HBO documentary about her which was aired in 2021 as well as mentioning a reference to her that Alicia Silverstone made in 2023.

Tone and Balance: The article is neutral and presents the biography of Brittany Murphy accurately and concise. Reading through the article there is not much of a bias, the article does seem to respect the work of Brittany Murphy and appreciate her by including her legacy. The article does not attempt to persuade the audience in any way.

Sources and References: All information about Brittany Murphy is linked to a source that provides accurate information about her. The sources used span several decades providing historically correct and relevant information. The authors vary and the sources come from a large variety featuring articles, events, award shows etc. There is a place in the article where there is not a source and instead says "clarification needed" so that needs to be updated.

Organization and Writing Content: The article is organised by her filmography and career in chronological order which is the best way to organise an article like this. After her films the article goes deeper in her personal life, which is important that this comes after her filmography. Including a segment on her health and unfortunate death follows her legacy. Arranging the article in this way makes it easy to follow along. At the end of the article is a table with all her roles which is good to refer to while reading. The writing is written well with no grammar or spelling mistakes.

Images and Media: The images used in the article enhance the reader's experience, however are not vital to the understanding. There are images of Brittany Murphy that are properly captioned with the event she was at. The table at the end provides relevant information that can be referred to and helps viewers when reading.

Talk Page Discussion: There are edits that are periodically made throughout, they all appear to be very minor clarifications and additions.

Overall Impressions: I feel that this is a good article that relays the information of Brittany Murphy's life and career in a way that is concise, respectful and straight to the point.
