Heath Ledger - Dead But More Famous Than Ever


Heath Ledger passed away in a rather controversial manner and many thought it was very untimely that he died. But never has it made him more famous than he is now. Dying just might be the ultimate marketing strategy.

Heath Ledger is honored in the next installment of Batman's "The Dark Knight." Although already noted as a pretty decent actor. I first saw him in the knight movie a long time ago. He wasn't bad at all. His cuteness though overwhelms you so some character flaws you can definitely overlook.

Playing Joker in the coming Batman movie is apparently his best yet. Ledger died Jan. 22 of an accidental prescription-drug overdose at the age of 28. Despite his death, he has been featured prominently in The Dark Knight's ad campaign—his Joker being an impossibly big presence to ignore.

Joker's character is already scary as it is but just looking at Heath Ledger's portrayal makes it even creepier knowing that well, he's dead. But you have to admit, it does make you curious... definitely enough to make you go and watch the movie
