In Memory of Heath Ledger: April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008

As we woke up this morning and started checking to see what happened in the world while we were sleeping, we were stunned to learn about the sudden death of actor Heath Ledger. At only 28, he was far too young to leave this world and it's tragic that his 2 year old daughter, Matilda, will likely have very few memories of her father when she's grown.

Another talented actor, gone far too soon from this world.

Let's just remember him for some of his performances:

10 Things I Hate About You Patrick 'Pat' Verona
This was actually the first scene I thought of when I heard he had passed - such a cute moment.



A Knight's Tale Sir William Thatcher/Sir Ulrich Von Lichtenstein of Gelderland
This is one of my favorite movies. Loved the soundtrack and the eleborate sets and costumes. Add it in with the romance and warrior mentality - just a great film!


Monsters Ball Sonny Grotowski
I only recently saw this movie and was pretty shocked with Heath's role. He definitely started on a much more serious path with his acting lately...and I'm sure he would have contributed a lot more great moments to the Silver Screen. His role was far too brief in this movie but still great.


To the family and friends of Heath Ledger, we're all sorry for your loss and hope that you can find solitude and peace in the wake of this terrible event. Heath was one of the few actors lately who seemed to really have his feet planted on the ground. It's hard to grasp why the most talented die so young.
