Heath Ledger Died...




If you happen to know the movie "10 Things I Hate About You" you probably know who Heath Ledger is.He plays Patrick Verona in the film,the one who sang "Can't take my off of you" in the football field for Kat Stradford (played by Julia Stiles) He was nominated for best musical sequence in 2000 MTV Movie awards. He's the one encircled in the picture.



Yeah right,I am being bias with that movie.hahaha.

Going back to Heath Ledger,he is also included in the cast of The Patriot (with Mel Gibson), A knight's Tale, Casanova, Brothers Grimm and the very controversal Brokeback Mountain ( with Jake Gyllenhaal;The day after tomorrow).A movie where he has a lot of nominations and won Best Kiss in the 2006 MTV Movie awards (shared with Jake Gyllenhaal).

Heath was born in Perth Western Australia,last April 4, 1979.His Mom was a french teacher and his Dad is a race car driver and a mining engineer.Heath full name was Heathcliff Andrew Ledger.He first join some local shows and local movies in Australia when he was 16 yrs old and moved to Los Angeles when he was 19 and join the cast of 10 things I Hate about you.And the rest was history.

He had a relationship with Naomi Watts and was engaged with Michelle Williams ( Dawson's Creek),whom he met on the set of Brokeback Mountain and play his wife.They had a daugther named Matilda Rose who is now 2 yrs old.They split up nearly in the end of 2007 and Heath was linked to a model named Gemma Ward.

Heath was found face-down,naked and unconcious in his apartment in Soho neighborhood in New York City.According to reports, he has an appointment for a massage.The housekeeper and the therapist found his naked body at 2:26pm.They tried to revive him but he is already dead.The two moved his body to the floor and called authorities.Police found some presciption medicine but found no evidence of illigal drug or that he had been drinking.They also do not suspect foul play but had not declared suicide or accidental over dose.But an autopsy was planned on Wednesday.

For me the death of Heath Ledger was a lost to a movie industry,I admire him in 10 Things I hate about you as well as in the Patriot.Though I never seen Brokeback Mountain,based on the reviews and comments about the movie and about him,he was indeed a good actor.I think the last movie he had is The Dark Night where he plays The Joker.
