Heath Ledger Career
Fallen Knight
Some people can remember where they were the day President Kennedy was assassinated and most can remember every detail of September 11, 2001, but the most vivid memory I have is the day Heath Ledger died. I know it sounds a little dramatic, but I swear my heart was ripped from my throat and I cried like a baby. I was in shock and to tell you the truth, I still am. Knights aren’t supposed to die; they are supposed to live forever. I know now that it was all a fairy tale because my knight died January 22, 2008. The first time I saw Heath he played Mel Gibson’s son in The Patriot. As I watched him I felt his passion for his character. He was so believable and it didn’t hurt that he was incredibly good looking. Yes, I know he is ten years younger than me, but that didn’t stop me from developing the hugest school girl crush, and for the next ten years I followed his career and unfortunately, his love life. I watched every movie he played in, though I must have been extremely dedicated because some were not that great. His love life was also not so hot, which I actually enjoyed. He had his ups and downs but for the most part, he was extraordinary. I truly loved him. Heathcliff Andrew Ledger was born in Perth Australia April 4, 1979. Heath was of Irish and Scottish decent which was displayed in his glowing olive skin, golden blond hair, and dreamy brown eyes. As a child Heath excelled in sports but when he was ten years old the acting bug bit him when he played Peter Pan at a local theater. In Junior High he began taking drama classes which led to his dream of one day becoming an actor. When Heath turned seventeen he decided to pack up his car and move to Sydney. He arrived in Sydney with sixty-nine cents to his name. He was determined to make it and that he did. He made it all the way to Hollywood, CA with an Oscar nomination for his most controversial movie, Brokeback Mountain (Wikipedia). Back in Sydney acting roles came easily but
