Nothing could be as tragic as someone losing out his life in his prime youth. Indeed close ones who are left behind the deceased continue to mourn for months but the agony of detachment from the loved one never fades.
This is very true with the recent tragedy that took place in Hollywood when Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger lost his life on January 22, 2008, in his New York apartment. Full of life, Ledger began his acting career at the age of sixteen. In a very short time he grabbed everyone???s attention with his work in films like The Patriot, Monster’s Ball, A Knight’s Tale and after winning ShoWest Award.
The Oscar nominated 28-year-old Ledger’s tragic, untimely and accidental death has left his fans and people close to him in a complete shock. The producer of his last film ???The Dark Knight??? Christopher Nolan is also deeply saddened by Ledger???s sorrowful death and has paid tribute to him in an incredible piece of writing that has now been published in the Newsweek.
The expressive piece of article written by Nolan is titled ???Charisma as Natural as Gravity???. The excerpts of the producer in which he has remembered Ledger reads:
Heath was bursting with creativity. It was in his every gesture. He once told me that he liked to wait between jobs until he was creatively hungry. Until he needed it again. He brought that attitude to our set every day. There aren’t many actors who can make you feel ashamed of how often you complain about doing the best job in the world. Heath was one of them.
Though now Ledger has left everybody but it true that he was one of his own kind and during his short life became an extreme inspiration to others as Nolan further adds:
When you get into the edit suite after shooting a movie, you feel a responsibility to an actor who has trusted you, and Heath gave us everything. As we started my cut, I would wonder about each take we chose, each trim we made. I would visualize the screening where we’d have to show him the finished film???sitting three or four rows behind him, watching the movements of his head for clues to what he was thinking about what we’d done with all that he’d given us. Now that screening will never be real. I see him every day in my edit suite. I study his face, his voice. And I miss him terribly.
