Can I just say that I loved Heath Ledger the moment I saw him in Roar (the short-lived television series) and although the hand-lick incident in Brokeback, left me a little…nonplussed (I wanted to say it left a bad taste in my mouth but it’s too soon), I still felt that he was a great talent that was untapped for the most part. Sad that he will never be able to reach that star and Matilda will have to grow up without a daddy. 😦
UPDATE: I was watching The Soup last night (we’re old and it’s the closest we come to hip…besides it’s right after Monk), and Joel was so nice about Heath. I can hardly imagine a nicer compliment from the Soup than to say he was a nice guy who not once ended up on their show. I almost cried.
I fell for him in 10 Things I Hate About You.
Such a sad thing.
I remember when that movie came out I kept thinking “Yay, now he’s going to get a chance to be a really big star.”
He was my age…. way to make me face my own mortality. 😦 I feel badly for his family.
Note to self: do not mix perscription medications.
Aaawww…why’d ya have to say that. Now I realize that I’m older than Heath Ledger. Crap. Old sux. Guess I’ll go back to my Law & Order episode and my weak cup of tea… whaaa… (sadly this is actually what I’m doing right now)
Oh…and I think Ambien may be the devil….which really make me want to hit dat shit! lol
I think he’s the first big ‘star’ to pass since I’ve been alive – well, at least one relatively close to my own age. It’s terribly sad. Ambien *is* the devil. They were feeding me that junk after my first pregnancy and E woke me one night running a freaking bath at 4 am, fully clothed, and clueless! Scary.
That is scary! I was prescribed muscle relaxants for my tempero mandibular joint disorder which had the effect of knocking me out for 12hrs straight; they were heaven. While on them, I once convinced M. that I couldn’t find my way to the bathroom to go pee. When I’m bored, I can be really devious, and it was fun making him lead me to the bathroom. lol
I miss girls’ movie night. Sad.
Even when there were only two of us.
