Brittany Murphy was definitely a beloved face in Hollywood, known for her upbeat and cheerful demeanor. The Clueless star graced the cover of Cosmopolitan three times in her all-to0-short career. “She was on the covers of Cosmo and they sold great," Editor-in-Chief of the magazine, Kate White, told HollywoodLife.com. "Very few people have been on three covers. Brittany sold covers like an A-list star.”
The Cosmo editor continued to HollywoodLife.com, “girls related to Brittany's scrappiness … to the fact that she wasn’t cookie-cutter pretty.
Britany's first cover was in June 2003 and according to Kate she was easy to get along with and "not a diva" like some of the other covergirls.
However, Kate did notice Brittany's small frame.
“I was alarmed when I saw how thin she was," she said. "It did raise some red flags and we definitely understand eating disorders … but I don’t know if she had one.”

Brittany's funeral will be held on Christmas Eve at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills.
