While I was waiting for the HTM class to start, Evelyn called me. I was surprised at this and wondered what it could be. She asked if I was home or near a computer. But I wasn't and asked why. Then she told me that her sister called and said that Heath Ledger had died.
My first thought was maybe it was an internet hoax, like last spring when they said that Ben Savage, aka Cory Matthews on "Boy Meets World," had died, and he is just fine. Unfortunately it was not, as Bradley and other people in the class soon confirmed to me. (Note, you can read all the details at TMZ.com )
I must say I am in denial over this. I mean yeah I saw the video of them rolling his body out and statements from his family, but it's hard to believe he died at such a young age. I especially feel bad for his 2 year old daughter, Matilda will not get to know her father. It's so sad that she won't get to spend time with him and will have to go by family memories to know the kind of person he was.
In memorium, everyone should go watch a movie of his this weekend. I'm going with my favorite, "10 Things I Hate About You," which was his first major role in a film.
