The news has definitely been a shock. Heath will be missed by us all.

We have created a tribute video with permission of Shane August, performing the theme song from Brokeback Mountain "Wings". Offer your support at http://www.youtube.com/HeathLedgerTribute.

Rest in Peace, Heath.

Let's not forget A Knight's Tale - I love that movie!!! I am so offended at that bunch who plan to picket. What in the world - quoting the Bible of all things, and not taking any responsibility for their own vicious and judgmental behavior. Who in the hell do they think they are? I know this - they've offended more Bible verses than a person who appeared in a movie about gay people. They can all see each other in HELL, but it won't be Heath they see. God Bless You Heath and our prayers are with you and your loved ones.
