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.

No, that was makeup for the movie. Doesn't matter any way he is dead.

^Does it matter if he is dead or not?

Heath's step sister from his mother's second marriage is Ashleigh Bell and his step sister from his dad's second marriage is Olivia Ledger.

Actually, the above is incorrect - Heath's HALF sister's are Ashleigh Bell (they have the same mother) and Olivia Ledger (they have the same father). He step sister is Nadia Rosa - daugther of his father's wife Ines.

The first role Heath Ledger ever played, was an Orphan Clown in Clowning around in 1992.

The last line Heath delivered on the set of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the film he was working on at the time of his death, was "Don't shoot the messenger." After Johnny Depp replaced Ledger in the film, he asked director Terry Gilliam if he could improvise a line, "Don't shoot the messenger," not knowing that Heath had said it. Gilliam remarked that Depp must have been channeling Ledger.

I do. He was a really good actor. He wasn't fantastic but he was good. He did amazig as the joker.

Yes, he did. Heath Ledger played the part of "The Joker" in The Dark Knight. He died from an accidental toxic combination of prescription drugs just a few months after the shooting of the movie was completed. The movie was being editted when he passed away.

Jen Ledger is not a lesbian. She's currently not married/dating.

No one Heath leder still played the joker. In fact he recently won a Golden Globe for his role in the Dark night. Heath Ledger had already completed filming "The Dark Knight" at the time of his death.

i think its acting. because he made it to his job and he wouldn't if he don't love it. ... bus i also think he has normal hobbys like playing football or going out with friends. i also think that he spend most of time with his family, most with his daughter. he loves her and she was the very important thing in his whole life.

As well as acting, he also loved photography and directing music videos. He also enjoyed playing chess and loved to skateboard and surf :)

Yes, he has a 2 year old daughter with Michelle Williams. His daughter's name is Matilda Rose.

yes

yes

I am pretty sure he did. In one part of his will, it says his daughter is supposed to receive his Oscar Award on her 18th Birthday, and I guess any past awards

Heath Ledger was an actor, and some of his roles were heroic. His own death was tragic. But I wouldn't call him a tragic hero.

imaginarium of Doctor Parnassum

Most people seem to think that Heath Ledger's final film was The Dark Knight. However, it was actually The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. The director almost tried to salvage it.

soho Manhattan New York

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.

He was 28 when he died on January 22, 2008. His birthdate was April 4, 1979.

When he was 10 years old. I saw a movie with him in it when he was like 11 at my aunt's house in Australia. It was a few weeks after he died and they were playing a marathon of his movies on tv in Australia to honor and remember him.

Not sure why you think that there was? Maybe someone photo-shopped a photo? Lots of fake stuff was photo-shopped of Mr.Ledger over the years.

Mr.Ledgers coffin was never made public. It was in a wooden transport box to take him to the airport to fly him to L.A and then home to Australia where he was cremated.The only pics that were made public were paparazzi pictures of that transport box. Its plain wood with nothing on it. Mr.Ledger did not belong to any certain religion. Perhaps you saw something that the funeral home puts on their items.A logo of some sort?

Heath first attended Marys Mount Primary School, in Gooseberry Hill. Then, according to A Tribute to Heath Ledger: The Illustrated Biography, Heath attended Guildford Grammer School for 10 years. This was an all-boy boarding school just 15 km Northeast of Perth, Australia. Heath reportedly sat for early exams and graduated at age 16 years.

The filming was done on Batman, the Dark Knight, when Heath Ledger died. However his death dramatically changed the marketing campaign for the movie.
