Ok ok who did not see this one coming? lol
I fell in love with Heath Ledger when I was a teenager, after his first big movie 10 Things I Hate About You. I loved his character and swore that was the type of guy I wanted! Of course I fell in love with more of his movies and have somewhat of a mini-collection going. I was always excited to see some of the new roles he would do, whether he was the lead or a side character. I always teased my husband that Heath Ledger would be the one man I would run off with if given the chance. He doesn't take that very well...
So imagine my reaction when my friend texts me a few years ago and says "I'm sorry about Heath Ledger"...
What? Why?
I swore up and down she was lying to me and was just trying to play a prank on me. I was at work and was trying to look on the computer (a computer which had the internet blocked) and even tried getting a friend to look it up on their phone. It wasn't for another hour that I found the story and knew she wasn't lying. I was sad....very sad.
After he died I went on eBay and tried to find some memorabilia. The one thing I've always wanted from him was a photograph and an autograph. I've always heard he was great to fans and would always pose for photos and such. I never got the chance :-( I was in a bidding war for an autographed magazine spread he was in many years ago. I finally did win ($200 later) only to have the auction recalled by eBay. Damn.
His last movie was The Dark Knight, which really surprised me and it was great to see another side of him. I never knew him personally, but it still makes me miss him...
