Forever the Tai to his Travis. During the Clueless reunion panel at 90s Con 2023, Breckin Meyer opened up about the death of his late costar, Brittany Murphy, 14 years after her tragic passing.“The one thing that really bummed [me out] about Brittany not being here [is thinking about] what she’d be doing now because of how talented she was,” the 48-year-old Good Girls alum said during the cast’s convention panel on Sunday, March 19, which was attended by Us Weekly. “Brittany could sing like nobody’s business, and I look at things like [how] they’re doing the movie Wicked now.

You know, [projects like] West Side Story, all that stuff.”Meyer, who played Travis Birkenstock in 1995’s Clueless, added: “The [tough part] is, like, we all don’t get to see the incredible work she was gonna do, which sucks.”Murphy, who played new girl Tai in the iconic ’90s flick, died in December 2009 at the age of 32.

Her death — which was ruled as “accidental” — was a result of pneumonia, anemia and multiple drug intoxication.Following her tragic passing, her Clueless pals have frequently been candid about her enduring legacy, including Meyer.“10 years ago this magical, fantabulous angel left us WAY too early.
