Brittany Murphy's British-born screenwriter husband Simon Monjack was found dead at his Hollywood Hills home on Sunday night. He was 39.
Murphy, who had roles in Clueless, 8 Mile, and Just Married, died of pneumonia five months ago. She was 32.
Monjack, who had been suffering from a serious heart condition, co-wrote the original story of Factory Girl. The 2006 film — Captain Mauzner received screenplay credit — starred Guy Pearce and Sienna Miller as pop cult figure Andy Warhol and one of his muses, Edie Sedgwick. George Hickenlooper directed.
Monjack also directed, produced, and co-wrote (with Nick McDowell and Jessica Wells) the 2001 drug-rehabilitation drama Two Days, Nine Lives, starring Luke Goss and Sienna Guillory.
