Her birth name is Sharon Murphy.

She had her career breakthrough when she landed a role in Clueless in 1995.

In 1999, she starred in "Girl, Interrupted". During filming that movie, the filmmakers had to reshoot the scene in which Winona Ryder finds her after she commits suicide, because Winona was too good and Brittany couldn't help crying.
