Heath Ledger, Dead......

....So saddened to hear that Heath Ledger was found dead in a Manhattan apartment. I recently blogged about the movie, A Knights Tale. Ledger always impressed me, both as a terrific character actor (he could nail a character and really get into a role) as well as his seemingly disdain attitude when it came to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. He seemed by all accounts to be a private individual and until most recently was a "family man" and involved father to his infant child with Michelle Phillips. I was shocked when they separated. Not much has been said yet of his untimely death, as information is still coming out, but in any circumstance it is sad. Such a young man. He had such promise. He was once quoted as saying, "I don't care about the money. I care about the craft. One day I will die and I can't take the money with me. It doesn't matter. What I will be judged on is my performances." And so it will be.
