It was in May of 2005 that I had the pleasure of seeing, meeting and observing Brittany Murphy in person.  In a large hangar 8 at the Santa Monica Airport for the product launching of AMG in the United States (Mercedes Benz V8 Sports Cars) and IWC Watches.  These were fine products and they had Brittany as the presenter at their launch for reasons I wasn't sure of, but had no objections to.
