Another young actor died this week. Heath Ledger, unlike Brad Renfro, was building the foundation for an amazing career, already featuring two, soon three, iconic roles. As the details emerge both superficially important (accident or suicide? To which I would like to point out that nobody kills themself before a massage appointment) and just superficial (did Mary Kate Olsen own the apartment?), I would like to hold out hope that the family is surrounded by people who care, that Ledger is remembered more for his legacy than his passing and that this stops being the featured story on Access Hollywood by next week, since, even when dating movie stars, Ledger was never a tabloid figure. For two nice obits, I would direct you here (short, but embarrassingly well-written) or here (longer, touchingly complete.)
