heath ledger.
We’re not a super timely blog, maybe that will change soon. But it’s still crazy to think about the death of Heath Ledger. He was honestly a great actor, and it’s always a shame when someone so young and so talented passes away.
It’s very similar to the Nick Drake story. A man, suffering from depression, just wants to sleep. In Drake’s case, he mistook some of his medication for sleeping pills and overdosed. The real story behind Ledger’s demise is still unknown, but according to reports, he was face down on his bed surrounded by sleeping pills. He had been sleeping for only 2 hours at a time and some reports say his sleeping habits started when he played The Joker. That character disturbed him to the point where he wasn’t getting much sleep……
In the trailer for The Dark Knight, his portrayal of The Joker creeped me out. I was excited for it… Now….. it’s going to creep me out even more.
