Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment (Edit: Now they say it was Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment....Edit again: which they retracted...I hate the news sometimes). Saw this on several news sources including MSNBC.com, and CNN.com.
Holy shit. I was totally looking forward to The Dark Knight because his portrayal of The Joker looked to be the shit. Australia, and acting, lost a good son today.
It kind of scares me to think that it was reported that Ledger suffered insomnia because of his intensive research and immersion in to the Joker. What if it had a lasting psychological effect leading to a self destructive pattern?
I just heard this, too. Really sad. I think he just had a kid, too.
ReplyDeleteVery, very sad...I really liked him. :( I did read last night that he had just finished filming his part for the Joker, dunno if that's been retracted yet or not...
ReplyDeleteSad stuff. Sounds like he may have mixed sleeping pills and some beer (a huge no no). The mixture intensifies the effects, possibly to the point where you never wake up.
ReplyDeleteRIP Heath.
