Brittany died on December 20, 2009 from pneumonia and other causes and her husband Simon Monjack died five months later of similar causes, which will be covered to some degree in the movie.

Sharon, 61, was living with Brittany and Simon in their Hollywood Hills home at the time of their deaths, told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I have chosen to stay out of the limelight since the tragic and sudden death of my wonderful, talented, loving daughter.

'I have no choice now but to come forward in the face of inexcusable efforts to smear my daughter's memory by a man who may be her biological father, but was never a real father to her in her lifetime.'
