Heath Ledger Dead at 28

This afternoon, actor Heath Ledger — of Brokeback Mountain, A Knight’s Tale, and more recently of I’m Not There fame — was found dead in his Manhattan apartment, allegedly (for a time) an apartment in Mary Kate’s building. Yes, that’s right, one of the Full House twins.

[[That’s how rich the old gal is — not an apartment, but a building. Dressing young girls these days pays. Who’s going to say "No" to daddy’s little girl? I want. I want. Ok, hun. Train ’em young.]]

The facts — as reported on the internet (sometimes this clarification is necessary):

  • He was found in Mary Kate’s building.
  • Mary Kate is one whacked out gal, with quite a dark cloud around her.
  • [[I can no longer find the info about Mary-Kate’s apartment, leading me to believe either she has the world’s greatest publicist, or the New York Times made an oops.]]
  • Ledger was found naked and unconscious on the floor near a bed.
  • A bottle of pills was found on the bedside table.
  • The bottle contained both prescription and non-prescription pills.
  • The masseuse was on the way.
  • Ledger left behind a child. [[Probably should have left the pills alone. If a child ain’t a reason to live, then…. ]]
  • Ledger expressed "dissatisfaction" with his own work.
  • Kurt Cobain also expressed "dissatisfaction" with his own work. I heard the two compared today.
  • (Ledger would have made an AWESOME Joker!)
  • Legder was working on a Terry Gilliam film.
  • Johnny Depp almost went crazy working with Gilliam on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
  • Gilliam is from Minnesota.
