Heath Ledger

4 April 1979 - 22 January 2008

Actor

In short order, Ledger matured from youthful hero in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) to charismatic lead in A Knight’s Tale (2001). BAFTA-nominated for an exceptional performance in Brokeback Mountain (2005), his final appearance as The Joker in The Dark Knight (2008) makes for a bittersweet farewell.
