On November 10, one of the most beautiful and talented actresses in Hollywood, Brittany Murphy, would have turned 40 years old. On her birthday, we remember the stars who untimely passed away without saying their last creative word.

The fate of these Hollywood stars tragic and instructive. Fortune favored them with fame and popularity, they were real idols for millions of viewers. However, it is reasonable to dispose of the generous gift of nature - they were not able to use their talent.

Brittany Murphy

She woke up famous after the premiere of Clueless in 1995, in which she played the title role. Then 18-year-old Brittany became not only the idol of millions, but also one of the most attractive actresses in Hollywood. Then on her account there were bright roles in such films as "Interrupted Life", "Newlyweds", "City Girls", "Love and Other Disasters" and others. Almost everywhere she played an easy and kind girl who finds herself in confusing situations, but always finds a way out of them. It seemed that in real life Murphy is the same. And it was especially sad to realize that she was no more. Her death came as a great surprise to everyone. The actress at that time was only 32 years old ...

Heath Ledger

He was considered one of the most talented Hollywood actors, having an unusual and creative approach to roles. His on-screen images never looked alike. Once Heath Ledger spoke about this: "I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself."

The star actor was born on April 4, 1979 in Perth (Western Australia) in the family of a French teacher and a mining engineer. We can say that he was lucky with his parents, who, noticing acting talent in Hit, did not interfere with his son in his creative endeavors. Already at the age of 10, Ledger played the role of Peter Pan at the Gildorf Gymnasium. The career of the future Hollywood star developed rapidly and successfully. He starred in television series, he was invited to a big movie. However, the moment came when the homeland - huge Australia - seemed to Heath close for creative self-expression. He was ambitious and stubborn, like all novice actors, and therefore sought to get into Hollywood. It is here, according to Ledger, that all the secret dreams of fame and popularity come true. Indeed, Hollywood has become a real launching pad for the young actor. Eminent directors saw remarkable abilities in the stubborn guy. And he lived up to their expectations. The pinnacle of Heath Ledger's work is considered to be two films: "Brokeback Mountain" and " The Dark Knight". The last picture brought Heath, to the deep sadness of his many fans, posthumous fame. For the brilliantly played role of the Joker, he received an Oscar. Heath Ledger passed away at the age of 28 without saying his last creative word. According to the official version put forward by the police, he died from an overdose of sleeping pills.

Anton Yelchin

Once he even auditioned for the role of Harry Potter, but luck turned away from him this time. But the talent of the young actor was awarded the original award "The most sensitive actor in the world" for participating in the popular TV series "Doctor Huff". By the way, the very first role was played by Anton at the age of nine: he was invited to shoot the independent film “A Man Is Mostly Water”.

It should be noted that he had an extraordinary capacity for work. Probably, this quality came in handy for him to conquer Hollywood, where they like to help young, purposeful and talented actors. Anton eventually began acting with famous directors. Participation in blockbusters Star Trek”and“ Terminator: May the Savior Come ”brought Yelchin fame and popularity. The creative career of the actor was interrupted at the very take-off. Anton died from an absurd accident: he simply forgot to put his car on the handbrake, which crushed him. It happened on June 19, 2016. He was only 27 years old.

Brad Renfro

Glory came to him at the age of 11. Brilliantly playing the role of a boy pursued by the mafia in the film "The Client", Brad becomes famous throughout America. His partners in the picture were recognized Hollywood stars Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones. The young actor had an excellent prospect of standing in the future on a par with them. But, apparently, early popularity played a cruel joke on Brad Renfro.

As, unfortunately, often happens in a bohemian environment, he became addicted to the use of illegal drugs and was even once detained by the police for their possession. One of the most significant and striking roles of the actor is the image of a teenager in the film "Able Student". His hero strikes up a friendly relationship with a fugitive Nazi officer, the relationship between them is rather strange. The picture caused different opinions among the audience. However, it is worth noting that Brad Renforo received an honorary prize for the role of Todd Bowden at the Tokyo International Film Festival. And soon in the work of the actor came some recession. In all likelihood, this was due to the fact that Brad was overcome by a bad passion for illegal drugs, which knocked him out of his usual life rut. Both friends and relatives warned Renforo that everything would not end well. But he did not heed the advice: on January 15, 2008, he was found dead in his own home in Los Angeles. The actor's cause of death was an overdose of illegal drugs. He was 25 years old.

Amy Winehouse

She rushed like a meteor across the starry sky, leaving a noticeable mark on the world stage. Amy recorded her first song at the age of 14, and a year later she was already singing in a jazz group. She was incredibly talented and at the same time had a difficult and complex character. Teachers at school, friends suffered from her, she could do things that did not fit into the framework of generally accepted morality.

Amy was born on September 14, 1983 in the family of a pharmacist and a jazz singer who worked as a taxi driver. Since childhood, Amy dreamed only of music, she dreamed of becoming a great singer. She succeeded in this. She remains the only British artist to have won five Grammy Awards. The unique achievement of the singer was listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Amy's celebrity life was full of scandals. She was repeatedly brought to trial for insults and fights. The singer flared up for the slightest reason - and being in her company was unbearable even for close people. In addition, along with her musician husband Blake Fielder-Civil, Amy became addicted to the use of illegal drugs. It seemed that she was testing her fate for strength. But no one has yet succeeded: the star singer will die of alcohol poisoning at the age of 27. This will happen on July 23, 2011 in London. She will remain in the memory of millions of fans as a bright, talented singer who went down in the history of modern music.

Kurt Cobain

One of the most mysterious and extravagant musicians of the last century was born on February 20, 1967 in the family of a housewife and auto mechanic in Aberdeen (Washington).

It is not known how his fate would have developed if his grandmother had not intervened in the course of the event. After the divorce of his parents, Kurt became gloomy and unsociable. But the grandmother saw remarkable musical abilities in her grandson and helped develop them. Besides, Kurt drew beautifully.

Cobain walked to his world fame, figuratively speaking, by leaps and bounds. In spite of heavy character, the eternal desire to retire, the Nirvana group he created turned Cobain into a youth idol in a short time. Unusual music and songs attracted millions of fans of Kurt's talent. I must say that Cobain did not like popularity, he always felt out of place from everyone's attention. It also happened that the musician went into the forest and shot pieces of meat bought in a store from a gun. In this way, he got rid of mental discomfort. Surprisingly, Kurt was extremely casual about his multi-million dollar fortune. And the only consolation in his complex and contradictory life was his daughter Francis, in whom he did not look for souls. The famous musician died mysterious circumstances April 5, 1994 at the age of 27. The police claimed he committed suicide. Although some experts doubted this version and even suspected his wife, Courtney Love, known for her scandalous behavior, in Cobain's death.

Corey Haim

The film "The Lost Boys" directed by Joel Schumacher became the apotheosis of the actor's creative career. This teenage picture made Corey the idol of American youth in the 80s of the last century. Thousands of enthusiastic fans besieged Heim when he appeared on the street. It seemed that Corey had finally caught the bird of happiness - and would never let it out of his hands. But he failed to develop his acting talent, which was noted by his eminent colleagues - Hollywood stars. In many ways, it prevented, or, more simply, ruined Corey's bad passion for illegal drugs. Heim was never able to get rid of this habit, although he made desperate attempts. It must be admitted that by that time creative career began to decline, they began to somehow forget about the former idol of youth. Perhaps failures in work, a fatal passion played their tragic role in the life of an actor. He died on March 10, 2010 from an overdose, he was 38 years old.

River Phoenix

He was in his early twenties and already considered his man in Hollywood. And there were good reasons for that. For example, for the role of Danny Pope in the film directed by Sidney Lumet, River was nominated for the prestigious Oscar and Golden Globe awards. And at the Venice Film Festival, he was awarded the "Best Actor" award. His success on creative path were obvious, Phoenix gained a reputation as a man with a tough character and a talented actor who knows how to get used to any screen image. By the way, River was an excellent musician and even created his own group, which was popular. Of course (and he did not hide it) Phoenix was eager to stand on a par with Hollywood stars. But the actor destroyed all the plans himself - with an addiction to illegal drugs. He will die right at the entrance to the Viper Room club in front of a large audience. This tragic event will happen on October 31, 1993. River Phoenix will pass away at the age of 23, never having played major and significant roles in a big movie.

Alia Houghton

Already at an early age she sang in the church choir, performed at weddings. Mom - a professional singer - did her best to make her talented daughter follow in her footsteps and achieve more than she did. A big role in the fact that Alia immediately fell into the ranks of the youngest gifted singers was played by her uncle Barry Hankerson. He introduced Aliya to singer Robert Kelly, who helped the 14-year-old girl release her first album with a circulation of 2 million. This was Aliya's serious step to world fame.

Possessing a beautiful voice and bright appearance, she attracted the attention of famous Hollywood directors. And it so happened that her first role in the film "Romeo Must Die" became the main one. Unfortunately, the successful beginning creative career of the actress and singer was tragically cut short on August 25, 2001. Alia, along with the team of her record company, crashed on a plane. Later, experts will find out that the cause of the accident was the overload of the car.

Aliya passed away at the age of 22. The last film "Queen of the Damned", in which she played a major role, was released a year after her death.

Chris Farley

The film directed by Dennis Dugan "Beverly Hills Ninjas" brought him world fame, where he played the main role. Perhaps (and this many admit) there was no funnier comedian in Hollywood than Chris Farley. Of course, he could not boast of a large number of film roles. But each of his on-screen images was remembered by the audience and made me laugh to tears. However, in real life, Chris remained a good-natured person, raised two children. Many Hollywood stars had no doubt that Chris would have a brilliant creative career. However, the actor himself crossed out all hopes for this. Alcohol, illegal drugs and obesity are Farley's main problems that he tried to fight and which brought him to his grave. He died on December 18, 1997 from an overdose: his heart stopped. Chris Farley was 33 years old. Posthumously, the actor was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Cory Monteith

From "Losers" to stars - this is how this talented guy began his career. A popular series with this name brought Corey what he so passionately dreamed of - fame, money, love of Hollywood beauties. Monteith's path to big cinema was thorny and difficult. Corey was considered difficult child who did not reckon with anyone and was used to doing as he pleases. Already at the age of 12, he tries illegal drugs, Corey is expelled from school for scandalous behavior. And Monteith has no choice but to go to work. Roofer, salesman, driver - these are far from creative professions he will change with enviable constancy. Until he sees a casting ad for Stargate Atlantis. Much to his surprise, Corey was among the lucky ones invited to shoot the picture. The first success brought him good luck: Monteith began to be invited to television series. And the most stellar of them was the series "Losers", in which the remarkable comedic talent of the actor was revealed. Then other roles followed - already in a big movie. But Corey clearly did not want to take advantage of the favor of fate. Moreover, the actor again became interested in the use of illegal drugs. And we already know from the example of even the most recognized Hollywood stars that this bad passion does not lead to good. Cory Monteith has died at the age of 33 from food poisoning.

Bright memory about those who died in 2017 will live in the hearts of loved ones, relatives and simply admirers of talent.
