I... I really liked Heath Ledger. Seriously. I felt... I dunno... somehow close to him, in an odd way. I mean, he's not like a Ewan, Ritchie or Tom to me (thank goodness), but even though I'd never even met him, I still admired, respected and liked him very much.
I guess it's because not a lot of Australian actors make it big (and still end up having me like them, lol)... I guess I kinda cling to the ones I do like (Nicole and Huge).
And he was meant to start production on the Terry Gilliam film soon too... :( reports are saying he wasn't done on Batman: The Dark Knight yet either... but I suspect he was.
Heath Ledger made me laugh, he made me cry, he was bloody good at his job, and I will absolutely miss him terribly.
He's making me cry just writing this.
I think the common opinion is that he took sleeping pills and overdosed... if that's correct... I can't imagine being absolutely just THAT desperate.
I'm so, so sorry, Heath.
What kind of pain must you have been in to do that?
My thoughts are with his family; especially his daughter Matlida.
Peace,
Rotae

(But the site does have a lot of annoying ads, I'm sure there is another less-ad-filled site, but I've lost the address)
I don't remember the name, so I'll have to get back to you on this. But it's something like "downloader"?

Although I was personally not deeply attached to Heath Ledger [besides faux-gay sex with Jake] and I find it amusing that people whisper like little bees about this in the cafeteria, it is still a shame that he died so young.
It was all over my f-list this morning, and it's so sad. I was really shocked when I found out :(
I feel so sorry for his family, too... and his daughter! :( It's horrible.
You have to feel badly when any person feels so lost that they committ suicide, intentionally or accidentally/subconciously.
I honestly hope that the autopsy will reveal that it was something else, more for the peice of mind of those closest to him than anything else.
And his poor little girl.
I was definitely upset to read such distressing news today.
All the movies with him mean a lot to me... and I hope that the new Batman movie will show that he was a great and awesome actor who could do more than just looking good but also play difficult characters.
I will truly miss him .___.
