Heath Ledger meets James Dean
Just heard the news that Heath Ledger’s body was
found, and that drugs are the suspected cause of
death. What a shame.
I’ve been a fan of his ever since The Patriot,
and thought he was very good in Casanova. Scylvia
liked him, too.
Neither of us saw his work in Brokeback Mountain,
and don’t figure we ever will. And we didn’t
like and didn’t even finish watching the soft-porn
Monster’s Ball.
He seemed to be a natural in front of the camera,
and was on his way to superstar status. It
really is a shame we won’t see any more fine
performances from him.
If you haven’t yet seen Casanova, which he made
when he was only 25, give it a try. You’ll see a
performance from a talented actor who is playing
way beyond his years.
