Product Description
Heath Ledger was one of the most charismatic actors of his generation. After establishing a high-profile Hollywood career at the age of 21 with the lead in A Knight’s Tale, Ledger pursued a series of increasingly diverse, often subversive roles that belied his image as a teen idol. Edgier films such as Monster’s Ball gave tantalizing hints of his talent, but it wasn’t until Brokeback Mountain that he proved beyond question the full extent of his abilities. His sudden death rocked the film industry and threw a poignant shadow over the body of work that has now become his legacy. Here, Brian J. Robb explores Ledger’s relationships with actresses Michelle Williams, Naomi Watts, and Heather Graham, recounts the making of Brokeback Mountain and the film’s impact, and charts Ledger’s increasingly troubled state of mind. Heath Ledger: Hollywood's Dark Star paints a memorable portrait of a compelling and intense young man whose loss will be felt for years to come.

This book is a must have for any Heath Ledger fan! It begins with Heath's birth and home life in Perth, Australia, and leads up to his final two roles in Hollywood. Each chapter includes information from the family as well as many family photographs. While Heath and Michelle are protective of their little girl Matilda, Heath does talk some about becoming a parent and how Matilda changed his life. A great read, appropriate photos, as well as lots of information from many different interviews.
A must have if you have ever enjoyed a Heath Ledger movie!!!

This is a very informative look into the life of the late Heath Ledger. If you want to get a look into the early years of Heath all the way up to his untimely death, look no further than this book. It's very well written and has numerous quotes from Heath himself from past interviews. It's a real page-turner with great and unseen pictures before. Enjoy!
