Dakota Fanning Gushes Over Brittany Murphy After Viral 'Uptown Girls' Clips

Dakota Fanning is happy fans are ‘nostalgic’ for her and the late Brittany Murphy’s 2003 movie ‘Uptown Girls’

“I loved Brittany so much and I still miss her,” Fanning, 30, told Brit + Co on Sunday, June 2, while reflecting on the 2003 film, in which she starred as 8-year-old Ray opposite Murphy’s Molly, a hapless 22-year-old nanny. In recent months, clips of Fanning and Murphy’s roles in Uptown Girls have gone viral on TikTok, including the scene where Molly takes Ray on the spinning teacup ride at a carnival following a tragedy. “Britt passed away as an adult, but she’s one of those people who I always think about,” said Breckin Meyer, who played Travis alongside Murphy’s Tai in the 1995 movie, during an April episode of the “ Still Here Hollywood ” podcast.
