Iron Bess Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 If any of you remember the old ROAR series from awhile back (How I remember him)... Heath Ledger was found Dead this afternoon in his apt in New York. Such a waste... Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Red Maria Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yes a terrible waste Bess. He had such psosiblities. Here's what's on the CNN website. http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/01/...dead/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriarRose Kildare Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I am totally devistated. He was such a great actor and fit the period parts he played very well. I am at a loss for words. He was one of my favorite actors. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.

blackjohn Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Holy crap... what a loss... such a tragic waste... (EDIT: In my original post, I ended with "remember kids, don't do drugs". I deleted it some moments thereafter, but not before Bess had a chance to respond. I didn't notice until now. I believe Bess' has more continuity when one knows the original ending of my post.)

Ransom Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Incredibly sad. He was so sexy and charming in A Knight's Tale, and Casanova. As with BriarRose, he was one of my favorites. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

LadyBarbossa Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm absolutely stunned! Nearly refusing to believe Ledger is dead and will no longer be in any more films. It's absolutely shocking! Completely unexpected. Aye, he's one of the last celebrities I would even consider to die so suddenly. He's such an Orlando Bloom quality (appearance) about him. My response upon hearing it on the ABC Nightly News- "WHAT?!?!" and that wasn't spoken softly. First saw him in "The Patriot". He grabbed my attention since then. He's continued to amaze me with his work. Such an incredibly tragic loss in the film industry. He will indeed be missed. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Red Cat Jenny Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 As with many stars..his burned brightly..and for such a short time. He'll be missed I'm sure. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont?

Silkie McDonough Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Bess I too knew him from ROAR (anything resembeling celtic gets my attention) and I recall him from "The Patriot" and others. So sad. I do hope it was an accident. Seems that some of the brighest stars burn bright then are exstinguished early. Sad. Aye Mister Lasseter ...may he indeed.

Rogue Mermaid Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I was also sad to hear he had passed. I was really looking forward to seeing him in the next Batman. I bet he would have been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I was really looking forward to seeing him in the next Batman. I bet he would have been awesome. What's eerie is that his last role was The Joker. I'm almost certain his character will be killed at the end of the movie. Kind of like how Jack Nicholson's Joker was killed in the Michael Keaton Batman movie. Also, the way he looked as the Joker was kind of similar to the way Brandon Lee looked from the movie The Crow. We all know what happened to poor Brandon during the filming of that movie. It's just truly sad and also so shocking to hear this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had completed the filming... just not all the looping yet to be done. You'll get to see his work and rumor is it is really work to be proud of. Such a shame he'll not get to go from there.....

Capt Grey Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm having River Phoenix flasbacks. Last I heard it was considered an accidental overdose; has anyone heard anything conclusive? (I know he was in The Patriot but I was too busy watching Tavington chew up the scenery. ) Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Lady Alyx Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I was so upset when I first heard of this. I was upset for the rest of the day. I thought to myself "Poor Baby", he was still a babe. He was so sexy and so so handsome. I especially loved him in Casanova, which I def need to go ahead and buy now for sure.

Black Syren Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Autopsy will take another ten days from what I heard. However the masseuse that found him called Mary Kate Olsen before calling 911...How sad that she could possibly have saved his life if she had called 911 first and not Mary Kate three times. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like how Jack Nicholson's Joker was killed in the Michael Keaton Batman movie. Doesn't that sort of ruin the continuity of the movies?
