Brittany Murphy looked “ill” and “underweight,” the producer of the late actress’s last film said.

“She looked ill, as much as 10 pounds underweight, and she’s a small person to begin with. She easily could have made an excuse not to come to work, but she didn’t. She said, ‘I’ve got to get better, but I want to do this part,’” Scott Chambers, who was working on Abandon with Murphy, said.

Murphy spent the day before she died sick with laryngitis but was able to rest in bed with him while watching three movies, her husband Simon Monjack said. She had a minor prolapsed mitral valve or heart murmur that did not warrant medication, he revealed.

She suffered from a genetic syndrome that could cause heart and breathing problems, one of her half-brothers, Jeff Bertolotti, claimed.

But Murphy’s friend, designer Tiffany Saidnia, said there was “nothing wrong” with the actress when she saw her at a fashion party on December 3.
