Publisher's Summary

Discover the remarkable life of Heath Ledger....
Heath Ledger rapidly rose to fame to become one of the most acclaimed actors of our time. Although his career was brief, spanning little over 10 years, he shot up like a rising star. People still remember his innovative portrayal of the Joker and so many other roles with awe.

Ledger poured everything he had into the parts he played, and his enthusiasm was quite evident on the big screen: Monster’s Ball, Brokeback Mountain, and The Dark Knight all benefited from his passion and expertise. He was so utterly consumed by his work that, at times, the portrayals of Heath Ledger could be more adequately described as a spiritual walk-in rather than an act. But who was the real Heath Ledger? What was this dynamic actor truly like? In this book, we delve into the man behind the legend and discover what his life was like before it was tragically cut short at the age of 28.

Discover a plethora of topics such as:

  • Early life in Perth.
  • Move to America.
  • Hollywood breakthrough.
  • Brokeback and back.
  • Tragedy, triumph, and new beginnings.
  • Ledger’s last days.

And much more!
