Charisma as Natural as Gravity

Hmm, you didn't know him, just as 99.9999999999999999999999999999% of the people who write on these things didn't know him and just as I don't.
How dare you judge anyone on here'say though, ' he had this, he had that', just move along and get along dude.
P.s It's not mean to die accidentally!!

I'm confused, Heath was a wonderful actor but also a wonderful person and he had the life everyone wants. He had a beautiful daughter that he left alone. That is the meanest thing you can do to a child. Leave it before you get to see how the child grow up. I know how it feels to say goodbye to someone you love. And i feel so sorry for matilda.

Every day I think of Heath and the senselessness of his deat. I try to find comfort in my religious belief that God wanted Heath in heaven - maybe to end his suffering. Heath was not just beautiful on the outside but beautfiul through and through as a person. I try to analyze how someone so solid could have gotten off on a bad track , ie. if you believe the stories about his drug use. I think that the divorce of his parents was quite traumatic for him at the tender age of 10. It undermined the stability that he experienced in his early years and I think set the stage for his future. Divorce is really tough on kids especially under some circumstances where parents behave badly toward each other. Heath's mother seemed rather absent compared to his dad. I kind of wonder about her... Heath's half sister from his mom was born in 1989.

I have to wonder as I read what I already had guessed-accidental overdose and continue to process the senseless loss of a bright star WHEN will we question our HEALTHCARE system. I am an RN and have practiced for over twenty years. Why was a healthy man with plenty of resources given so many pills instead of being given practical counsel on rest and rejuvenation. It certainly isn't because he didn't have health insurance that he died but rather because he had open access to care. Care that delivered medication rather than hard counsel on too heavy a work schedule/life style and not nearly enough downtime for rest and repair of a weary mind and body. It's so sad to contemplate what might have been and what is to follow for a little girl who has lost her beloved father and realize it could have been different in so many ways.

WOW! ther's nothing left to say. THIS...says it all. But here's a few of my comments.....I've seen almost all of Heaths' movies, and as of yet my most favorite was Brokeback Mountain. though I HATED teh ending, simply casue I don't like sad endings which make you wonder....what IF...kinda like his Death. Heath and Jake, was and is by far my most favorite actors. I haven't seen some of Heath's early movies yet, but will rent them out so I can watch them I've heard the one titled, Candy or Candyman, is another excellent one, yet I thinkg by the type of person Heath was, They were ALL Excellent, becasue that 's teh Way Heath was in everything he did he gave it his ALL. What a GIFT!

Then, after reaading what Christaphor Nolan wrote here in Newsweek, yeah it even made me cry. OF course "Guys" aren't suppose to do that, but ...oh well. I have been and still do. Because, though I didn't know Heath "personally, BUT, I wish I could have, I felt like we were the best of freinds, as though we were like Brothers. NO it makes no sense to me either, it's just something I feel.

So thanks to EVERYONE who has posted there feelings and coments on all HIS and Jakes's websites, I can't even begin to imagine what Jale's going through right now. But it's helped me and porbably allot of other Grieving fans, cope with his UNTIMELY,< SENSELESSLY STUPID DEATH. I've been thinking about it ever since I first read about it on a YAhoo news Blitz. I like everyone was SHOCKED and saddend. Yet i keep thinking SURELY SOMETHING COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO SAVE HIM! IT seems like SUCH A WASTE! Yes Heatr you will be SORELY MISSED for a long time and remembered forever by your , Family, Freind(those whom U were very close to)and Fans. Rest in Peace my Brother......

He's actually showed how down to earth and grounded he'd been. for someone so young he'd actually been responsible, and for someone so great he'd actually been small. that's the reason people who's still living in his shoes are defending him now--they knew exactly how it's like to live in the limelight, to easily feel the power, and how hard it is not to exploit that when you're back to normal and at home and not hearing the applause. they knew that heath had been splendid in that, one of those too few examples, that he'd been extraordinary. he'd been a perfect artist and that's just a few, but an imperfect person like everyone else. we all know his performances were priceless and ageless and it's just so sad he couldn't give us more of that anymore. Heath, you won't be forgotten and your star will shine among the greats, even when i'm sure that alive, you won't agree. that you'll feel you haven't done enough. But baby, it's time to rest. we do love you, and that's because we appreciate how much you've touched our lives. My family will watch your The Patriot on movie nights in our sala, and my daughters' hearts will still throb when they watch you in Ten Thing's I Hate About You when they grow up. My grandchildren will appreciate you in The Brothers Grimm and The Dark Knight and I will always have tears in my eyes when I watch your Ennis. We will all forget about how you'd died and all this hullaballoo now because your talent will outlive that all. So rest. Be well with God.

When I heard about his death the first thing I thought of was, what a waste. he's one of those people, you know? One who couldn't have done what he's done without the substance, without the sensitivity, without the faith, without the love to his craft and the unselfishness to give his all. It was shocking and sad to lose someone who could still give so much and who's tried to hold nothing back. and I feel kind of selfish to feel that, too, because i know I'm one of those who wouldn't enjoy him now that he's dead. his death is one of those you just couldn't understand. what's more sad is when people just can't seem to give him some slack for living his life the way he'd done. he's given us so much in his films. why do they have to expect they could have everything else?
To Heath Ledger's parents, thank you for sharing someone like your beloved son to us. We don't even know him but we couldn't help but mourn for that obvious exuberance for life that he'd had, something we can only get jealous of. I'm sure he'd have pointed to you, he'd have made you responsible for his having that gift. No son or daughter could have had that if he wasn't loved and accepted all his life.
Heath's one of those actors whose talent could excuse his other deficiencies, deficiencies which only proved how normally humane he'd been.

I hope Ledger's short films wind up on the Dark Knight DVD. That would be nice.

From '10 things I hate about you' and 'A Knights Tale' to 'Brokeback Mountain', you saw how beautiful and talented Heath Ledger was. This story is one of the most beautiful things I have read out of a sea of garbage that has been printed since his passing.

*cries*

Wow....the 2nd to last paragraph...those last four lines..very touching..almost broke my heart to read them a second time..but the last paragraph was just perfect. I can't help but smile either.
Nolan's article was truly amazing and unforgettable, touching and heartfelt all at the same time..
I can still barely explain how I feel about all that has happened and I think Christopher Nolan put it all in the right words I was looking for. Of course, mostly about how Heath was so dedicated and wonderful and amazing..not the filming part seeing as I was obviously not there..but I can imagine it. Heath being genuinely kind and great on the set of The Dark Knight...especially after reading the part where he thanked each and every one of the crew members for staying so late to allow him to finish up that scene.
Thank you, Christopher Nolan, for creating such a beautiful piece that will be remembered for a long time by so many.
Thanks Heath, for being so inspiring, charismatic, unique and brilliant not only in your roles, but in reality as well. You will never, ever be forgotten and I hope that you're happy wherever you are at this moment in time. Rest in Peace Heath..Rest in Peace.
: )

But you have no reason, dewcooper, to also assume he's also fake and part of the machine. That's as naive as assuming he was a great, moral guy. You shouldn't believe everything you read, but if you trust and respect the creativity in someone's work (as I do Heath's and Christopher Nolan's) you should give them a chance at being what you obviously consider to be some sort of more valuable, authentic person.

Thank you Christopher Nolan for your personal Heath Ledger memories. It was nice to read something positive and sincere about someone I enjoyed seeing at the movies. Heath you will be missed.

Thank you for writing this. Thank you so much. I really appreciate being given this insight into him as not only an actor but a person. I enjoyed all of his movies immensely and am now deeply saddened to never have that anticipation of seeing him in a film again after Dark Knight and possibly The Imaginatarium of Doctor Parnassus.

This was such a heat felt statement. I hate to even call it a statement with all of the emotion and memories that were shared. Thank you for these snapshots in time of Heath that you shared about his work on the set ,as well as his work ethics.
