Born: April 4, 1979 in Perth, Western Australia Died: January 22, 2008 (age 28) in Manhattan, in New York. He had a middle name, Andrew. Heath Ledger was a great and fantastic actor. My favorit actor. He died in very young age of twenty eight. His death cause was an overdose of slipping pills. Heath Ledger had made many movies in his career, i dont wont to say them all but my favorit ones are, The dark knight, also known as Batman, Brokeback mountain, Casanova, A knight's tale and the patriot. Through his movie career he got a lot of friends. Christian Bale, Mel Gibson, Johnny Depp and Jake Gyllenhaal. He became so good friends whit Jake, he decided that Jake Gyllenhall schould be hes daughters Matilda good father. Heath Ledger got married whit Michelle Williams, who he plays with in Brokeback Mountain, and she is also the mother of his daughter. His daughter Matilda Ledger will be the recipient of his Oscar for The Dark Knight, when she turns 18. Up until then the statuette will be in custody of his father Kim Ledger, mother Sally Bell and sister Kate Ledger. He is the first performer to win an Oscar for acting in a comic movie. And in brokeback mountain he won a Oscar for best male actor. In junior high it was compulsory to do one of two electives, either cooking or drama, and as Heath could honestly not see himself in a cooking class. He therefore decided to take drama. He was so talented, however, the rest of the class did not acknowledge his talent, possibly out of jealousy. When he was 17, he and a friend, decided to pack up, leave school, take a car and go to Sydney. He's 'relationship' to the Australian press was sometimes difficult, and that made him move to New York City. In the year 2004 some journalists said that he had spat at a reporter and in 2006 believed several paparazzi have seen that Heath Ledger and Michelle had brought water pistols on the red carpet for the premiere of Brokeback Mountain.
