I woke up particularly early this morning, around 8AM Melbourne time (4PM NYC time). Normally, the first thing I do when I wake up is check my email. It’s a habit that I don’t really mind doing.
Anyway, the first thing that stared back at me when I opened my inbox was an email from Yelena, simply saying “OMG” and then a link to this article.
I then proceeded to read the article and soon found out that Heath Ledger had died around 3:30PM NYC time. I couldn’t believe it, really. An actor here one day, and then gone the next. I was really looking forward to his impersonation of The Joker in the next installment of the new Batman movies, The Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight was the last film he completed. He was currently filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Who knows what’s going to happen with that film’s production now…

This photo of Heath Ledger being transported on a stretcher out of his SoHo apartment is haunting. I can’t get this image out of my head.
Heath Ledger’s IMDB profile has been updated with his date of death. And you can bet that the Wikipedia entry on him is buzzing with activity. Thanks to everybody who sent me the news and photos throughout the day.

One year has passed since Heath Ledger died, although I can not believe it, there are days in which I come to mourn the memory of when I was so sad that his death, did not deserve to die yet, he was young, talented, good person and I admired very much, but what is that desire is never dead, I still did not see his movie “The Dark Knight,” who plays “The Joker” I have always admired Heath Ledger, was an inspiration to me all this time, when I saw for the first time in “The Patriot” I began to fascinate him, and started to admire it, and when I knew that had died in 2008 was the worst moment of my life, not could breathe, I felt so bad, that I wanted to get out of bed, I was angry at life for being so unfair to heath, the dead have not deserved, was a great actor and always will be, my desire that never would have died, and that was always going to be a great actor and a wonderful person.
I do not want to say goodbye to Heath, they are sad farewell, the will always be in my memory, I will never forget, I would have liked to have predicted the future so that none of this happened, I am sad that the person I admire that, it was.
made a great performance in “Brokeback Mountain” with Jake Gyllenhaal, which is also a great person, a beautiful movie, and I think Heath Ledger deserves to win all the prizes for best actor.
I love you Heath Ledger.
I always remember you ¡¡
