By: Rasmussen, Dana

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Heath Ledger was a man with remarkable talent whose star burned out when he was just 28. The Australian-born actor came on the scene in TV series both in the U.S. and abroad. His first film role was in the movie, "Blackrock," but he didn't achieve fame until he played the bad boy in the teen comedy "10 Things I Hate About You." From there, Ledger took on varied roles and appeared in films like, "The Patriot," "Monster's Ball," "A Knight's Tale," "Ned Kelly," "The Brothers Grimm," and more. One of his most challenging roles was that of Ennis Del Mar in "Brokeback Mountain." But the role that won him an Oscar was that of the Joker in "The Dark Knight." In spite of Ledger's success, he battled depression and drug issues. He was found dead in 2008.
