None of them. Those are rumors that the media wants to hear. They try to make a story out of every young actor's death.

What did Heath Ledger make per film?

Heath Ledger died January 22, 2008 due to an accidental overdose of sleeping prescriptions. The last movie he acted in was The Dark Knight. He made an estimated salary of 75,000,000 a year.


How old was Heath Ledger in 10 things i hate about you?

He was interested in the script maybe? Ledger has said that he disliked 10 Things, mostly because it was a somewhat shallow teen movie with little opportunity for real character development. He also commented on how he hated his line that made a reference to "beer-flavored nipples." Anyway, he said he took the part because after he moved to LA, he had to start somewhere and this was his best offer. This said, I am personally a huge fan of 10 Things and think it is a brilliant teen film. Ledger used the fame and experience gained in 10 Things and tried to steer away from being typecast, landing his next big role opposite Mel Gibson in The Patriot.


Did ledger finish all scenes for the joker before death?

Yes, he did. Immediately after his death there was speculation as to what would happen to the film. Warner Bros. made a public statement later the same day (January 22, 2008) that all his scenes had been completed. Therefore The Dark Knight is Ledger's last completed project.

What is a What are fact of Heath Ledger?

When a young, hunky 20 year old heart-throb Heath Ledger first came to the attention of the public in 1999, it was all too easy to tag him as a "pretty boy" and an actor of not much depth. He has spent the past five years trying desperately to sway this image away, but this has indeed been a double-edged sword. But that comes much later in his story. Heath Ledger was born on the fourth of April 1979, in Perth, Western Australia. As the story goes, 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 tried his hand at drama. Heath was talented, there was no denying that. 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 rough it to Sydney. Heath believed Sydney to be the place where dreams are made, or at least, where actors can possibly get their big break. However, upon arriving in Sydney with a purported 69 cents to his name, Heath tried everything to get a break. His first real acting job came in a low budget movie calledBlackrock (1997), a largely unimpressive clich��; a teen angst film about one boy's struggle when he learns his best mate raped a girl. He did not have a large part in this movie. In fact, it was a very small one. The only thing of notice in his role is you get to see him get his lights punched out. After that small role, Heath auditioned for a role in a TV show called "Sweat" (1996) about a group of young Olympic hopefuls. He got offered one of two roles, one as a swimmer, another as a gay cyclist. Heath accepted the latter because he felt to really stand out as an actor one had to accept unique roles that stood out from the bunch. It got him small notice, but unfortunately the show was quickly axed, which led him to look for other roles. He was in "Home and Away" (1988) for a very short period, in which he played a surfer who falls in love with one of the girls of Summer Bay. Then came his very brief role in Paws (1997). Paws was a film which existed solely to cash in on guitar prodigy Nathan Cavaleri's brief moment of fame, where he was the hottest thing in Australia. Heath played a student in the film, involved in a stage production of a Shakespeare play, in which he played "Oberon". A very brief role, this did nothing other than give him a small paycheck, but nothing to advance his career. Also he was gay and loved a really gay guy named Nash thomas who also worked as a stripper in a gay strip club. Then came Two Hands (1999). He went to America trying to audition for film roles, showcasing his brief role in "Roar" (1997) opposite then unknown Vera Farmiga. He could not find any American roles but then Australian director Gregor Jordan auditioned him for the lead in Two Hands (1999), which he got. An in your face Aussie crime thriller, Two Hands (1999) was outstanding and helped him secure a role in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999). After that, it seemed Heath was being typecast as a teen hunk, which he did not like, so he accepted a role in a very serious war drama The Patriot (2000). What followed was a stark inconsistency of roles, Ledger accepting virtually every single character role, anything to avoid being typecast. Some met with praise, like his short role in Monster's Ball (2001), but his version of Ned Kelly (2003) was an absolute flop, which led distributors hesitant to even release it outside Australia. Heath finally had deserved success with his role in Brokeback Mountain (2005), for which he was nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA. Heath won the Oscar for his role in Brokeback Mountain posthumously. Ledger was found dead on January 22, 2008 in his apartment in the Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo, with a bottle of prescription sleeping pills nearby. It was concluded weeks later that he died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs that included painkillers, sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medication.

Who played the best joker?

Voted for: Heath Ledger When it comes to originality, Mark Hamill I'd also pick for performance in the majority in animations, but with Heath is the way he portrays is another instance, more humanly threatening in crime waves. He's much more dangerous even when he's sadly done so only once, the way he takes hits and how it pans out for his plans to make ends meet as the criminal mastermind who kills a lot. His Joker builds up a powerful threat that would do anything and manipulate others, even when looking like a smiling psychopath of sinister laughs.


How can you get a more recent film of The Taming of the Shrew?

I guess the first question is: more recent than what? The 1967 Franco Zeffirelli film is more recent than the 1929 Mary Pickford film. A film of the real play using Shakespeare's dialogue (not a different play with a vaguely similar plot like 10 things I hate about you) was made by the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in 2016.
