Heath Ledger Covers Vanity Fair

Posted by taylor blue on June 30, 2009 | No Comments

I think its so ironic that with all the happenings with Michael Jackson that it reminded me of Heath Ledger and his sudden death. And then not a couple of days later this issue was buzzing around the internet. Although this issue was planned before Michael’s passing it’s just too freaky for me. This August 2009 issue of Vanity Fair hits news stands tomorrow and is packed with stuff I really don’t want to read. I did find some nice things that I would share…

On Heath’s devotion to acting according to director Terry Gilliam: “He would arrive in the morning completely knackered. By the end of the day he was beaming, glowing with energy. It was like everything was put into the work, because that was the joy; that’s what he loved to do. The words were just pouring out. It was like he was channeling.”

On why Heath didn’t want to take the role of the Joker according to agent Steven Alexander: Heath “was always hesitant to be in a summer blockbuster, with the dolls and action figures and everything else that comes with one of those movies. He was afraid it would define him and limit his choices.”

On his motivation to perform well according to Alexander: “He wasn’t motivated by money or stardom, but by the respect of his peers, and for people to walk out of a movie theater after they’d seen something that he’d worked on and say, ‘Wow, he really disappeared into that character.’ He was striving to become an ‘illusionist,’ as he called it, able to create characters that weren’t there.”

And now for the beautiful pictures that were taken back in 2000 when Heath appeared in Vanity Fair, some of them have been published, some not. They are all amazing.

Heath Ledger Wins The Best Supporting Actor Oscar

Posted by taylor blue on February 23, 2009 | No Comments

While I was watching the Oscars last night I was dreading hearing the winner for the Best Supporting Actor. I knew in my heart that it would be Heath Ledger, but I didn’t want to not see him able to accept the award. Heath did win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his amazing portrayal of The Joker in The Dark Knight. I loved his performance and I think he deserves every ounce of it.

Heath’s family accepted the Oscar for him saying:

His mother Sally Bell said: “Heath was such a compassionate and generous soul who added so much excitement and inspiration to our lives.

“We have been truly overwhelmed by the honour and respect being bestowed upon him with this award. Tonight, we are choosing to celebrate and be happy for what he has achieved.”

His sister Kate said: “Heath, we both knew what you had created in the Joker was extraordinarily special and had even talked about being here on this very day. We really wish you were, but we proudly accept this award on behalf of your beautiful Matilda. Thank you.”

These pictures of Heath were uncovered and were back in 1999 just before his movie, 1o Things I Hate About You, came out. He had just turned 20 and he had the world in front of him. Little did he know back then how amazing his life would be and how it would turn out.

Heath Ledger’s Oscar Nomination Buzz Is Getting Bigger

Posted by taylor blue on July 14, 2008 | 1 Comment

The Dark Knight comes out in four days…and I’m getting super excited about it. And watching all the interviews on TV they have with the cast members is exciting but super depressing at the same time. Because when it comes to talk about The Joker the other members talk for Heath Ledger. Now, Oscar talk is in the works for Heath…

Michael Caine, one of Heath’s costars, says Heath was amazing in the role of The Joker. And when it was time to share the first scene with him he was floored at the performance.

The scene involved The Joker gatecrashing a black tie party.

What shocked Caine the most was that he was chatting with Ledger quietly before the scene and the Australian was quietly spoken, but when director Christopher Nolan called “action”, Ledger instantly switched into the slithering, despicable killer.

“I think it’s a performance, at a minimum, that is going to get a posthumous Oscar nomination,” Caine, who reprises his role as Bruce Wayne’s butler, Alfred Pennyworth, said. “It must do. That performance was extraordinary. You look at Heath, or you talk to Heath, and you don’t know where the performance comes from. It’s not like he’s a big, noisy character or anything. He’s just a very nice guy and then suddenly action is called on set and bang! You think: ‘Wow’. I was knocked over by it.”

I totally agree with him. Bring on the Oscar, Heath deserves it!
