Heath Ledger is dead.

I was very excited about Heath Ledger playing The Joker in the upcoming Batman film, Dark Knight. I was surprised to find that we share a birthday. For some reason, I had not realized that the Aussie had become a proper actor since 10 Things I Hate About You. I forgot he was in The Patriot. I found it best to forget A Knight's Tale. It's hard to believe that someone about my age was nominated for an Oscar, had a child, dated Naomi Watts and Michelle Williams, and died by age 28. Ned Kelly is a Heath Ledger film that deserves a viewing. I will be watching films starring Ledger that I had missed. It looks like he will go down in history as a gay cowboy who died young. All of his obituaries seem to include an image of him in Brokeback Mountain.

It's just my personal reaction. I am not a news journalist, although I posted that before newspapers printed the news.
