Vale Heath Ledger


I ummed and ahhhed about writing this post, fully aware of joining the gazillion-strong force of online commentators discussing this young Australian actor's tragic death. I'm also not loving the judgmental and speculative vibe that's going down right now.

But the truth is that I'm sad he's gone. Sad for his family and friends.

He was a brilliant actor and I was so looking forward to watching him grow older in future roles. Can you imagine what he would have been like at say 50 or 60? Such a great loss.

Ah Heath, why did you have to go and bloody die?

RIP.

I'm really sad too. It is such a surprise. His poor family. Having seen his career grow, from Home and Away to the amazing Brokeback Mountain, makes him more than just a Hollywood actor, and instead the loss of a successful and talented Aussie actor.
