The Ripley star then added of Murphy, “And I loved Brittany so much and I still miss her so any time that she has sort of a moment where people think about her is also nice.” In the movie, Fanning played a strong-willed eight-year-old named Ray, while Murphy starred as her hapless yet caring nanny Molly who takes on the role after learning that her inheritance had been embezzled.
