Heath Ledger - the grieving thread

I'm sure the NYPD made sure to make the proper notifications before this got released to the press. That's pretty standard procedure.

· I don't want Heath to join the ranks of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and Janis Joplin and all the other celebrities who died too young. I don't want him to be remembered by much of the world as that actor guy who died at 28. I don't want him to be more famous dead than alive. I don't want him to have the “cache,” or whatever you call it, of dying young.

Is it wrong for me to say I do? I want some sort of recognition in years from now of how good he was...

Sandy - I'm in Glasgow too. Funnily enough - I just checked your profile - and you joined Bettermost on my birthday. How you doing? Hugs from not to far away...

No I understand exactly what you mean. Jimmy Dean and Marilyn Monroe aren't really remembered for there problems with drugs and such. I don't know...when I think Marilyn Monroe I think Some Like It Hot...not her reputation for drugs and how she passed.

The hideously sad part is that this is so common now, that I fear he will fall into the pantheon of troubled and talented people who died too young. He deserves more than that.
