R.I.P. Heath Ledger


I think the whole world can say that they were in a state of shock after they heard about the death of 28 year old actor Heath Ledger... I know i was without a doubt!! Some of my favorite movies were ones that stared Heath Ledger, for example 10 Things I Hate About You and Casanova. In fact I was watching Casanova the day before I heard the news about his body being found in his Manhatten apartment. Police are not sure at this time whether it was an accidental overdose or a suicide. I think we would all like to believe that it was accidental. His life seemed to being going really well... I mean he was young, had a wonderful career, and an adorable two year old daughter named Matilda Rose. It is said by neighbors that he was a loving and devoted father and a friendly normal person. He could be seen all the time walking around his neighborhood with his daughter. Its a shame to think that she won't remember him when she grows up, other than the work he has left behind and what others tell her about him. I was really excited about the new batman movie coming out when I heard that Heath Ledger would be playing the role of the Joker. Now it is in question whether the movie will even be released.. if it is..it will be extremely bittersweet. It is positive to realease the movie because he worked so hard to film it and it could be like a farewell tribute to him, on the other hand it will be very difficult for all of his fans to see because you know in the back of your minds that he has passed away.Well i know there is not much more to say but value each day of your life that you have that is healthy because you never know when it will be your last. Heathcliff Andrew Ledger will be truly missed and never forgotten!!!
