Just broke on Fox - details to come.

Oh my! Ledger had just finished work on The Dark Knight and was filming a new movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus when he passed away from an appearent overdose of sleeping pills. Such a tragic, stunning passing of an actor that could have been a great actor.

I could have checked out at 28. I was into some BAD stuff when I was younger.

Jeeze, grow some why don’t ya. Whining about people ‘threatening’ you while at the same time you tapdance on the grave of someone whose body isn’t even cold yet.

[Caipirabob]

I did, those are some ghoulish screen shots. Guess we should be expecting a sequel regardless of the ending. So sad, though. Top of his game at 28, and OD's on pills. Friends tell the media, "We knew it was coming"...What the heck?!?

“Ambien “
Oh no! I took that crap! Almost burned down my house sleepwalking. My cop buddies have told me they’ve stopped people sleep-driving while taking Ambien. That crap is horrible. Doctors don’t seem to be very aware of the possible, all too common,side effects of this very, very nasty drug! I’m lucky to be alive. I only woke up when the smoke got almost down to the floor, where I was lying, watching a tv that wasn’t turned on. Maybe this will cause people to finally realize the truth about Ambien!

If you haven't seen "Lion in Winter" (1968) I can highly recommend it...Hopkins was very young...

And we would have spoken gently and caringly about you too. ;)

Not sure what you mean.

That is what the movie was about. Use a search engine, and those are the pictures on the first page you hit.

Dang!

Sorry about the boy, but your list brings home to me that I don’t see enough movies.

I saw Monsters Ball, that had to be the most downer of a movie.

And Ten Things I Hate about You ... which was a cute teen flick and that’s about it.

Must go to movies now!!

[roses of sharon]

Thanks for the info, very sad.

[altura]

I hope this is not your first indication that there are cold people on Free Republic... way cold.

I have not yet been able to delete my tag line ... guess I’ll do it tomorrow.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

You’re right...

Heath Ledger's Friend: "We Saw It Coming"

News of Heath Ledger's death has shaken friends of the actor.

"This is terrible and I'm in shock," a close friend of Ledger's tells Usmagazine.com. "But to tell you the truth... we saw it coming."

"Heath has gone though a rough road of trying to get sober," the source tells Us.

"Things were very dark," the source says. "His one joy was Matilda." Matilda is his 2-year-old daughter with ex-wife Michelle Williams. They split in September.

"Everything else was misery for him," adds the source. "Unfortunately he was too late in getting help."

Ledger, 28, was found dead, reportedly at Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment.

Get off your high horse, LastBoyScout.
You are new, you said things that shouldn’t have been said and FR tries to self edit.

You are about to be edited. Now lay off.

[MHT]

Was he the married guy in Brokeback or the other one?

[Shelayne]

Wow.

Such a tragedy. My prayeers for his little girl who is going to miss her daddy. :^(

[modest proposal]

was really sad to hear this because i remembered him in 10 things and the patriot. :(

He always seemed like he was a very level headed, normal guy I was shocked to hear he ODed.
