Heath Ledger

heath ledger I just came back from a day of errands, fixing paintings for Olsen Estates and a studio meeting to find out that Heath Ledger died. I am so upset. I thought he was a wonderful person and actor (even if he hadn't done Brokeback....but that role didn't hurt). I've always had this empathy for famous people....the ones who you can tell really don't want to be famous. I wonder what happened to him, what made him so sad that he felt he needed to take a handful of pills and fall asleep forever. Or, did he even mean to? I wonder what was missing for him...or what he had too much of.

I can't help but picture him singing his own rendition of "Let me love you" as he trotted down the bandstands in "10 Things I Hate About You". He will be missed.
