Heath Ledger, R. I. P.

A shame. The kid had a great career ahead of him, not that he'd done badly up till now.

Actor Heath Ledger Is Found Dead - City Room - Metro - New York Times Blog: "The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body."

This is really sad news. He was tremendously talented. I haven't seen BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN yet but he was just superb in MONSTER'S BALL.

And really, anytime someone who's 28 dies it's a tragedy.

That's so sad. Far too young. I liked what I'd seen of his work quite a lot. He seemed to have a bright future ahead.
