Heath Ledger - the grieving thread
ifyoucantfixit:
I have always told my family as a way to get passed issues of this kind. We love people because
of who they are. Not because of who they are not. We love them in spite of their faults, Not because
they have none. If we couldn't love people with faults. We could neither love nor be loved. We all
have faults. it is too bad that we have to base our love on those kinds of judgemental attitudes.
Heath was a very very sensitive and talented person. He was neither a saint nor an unholy sinner.
He was a human. He was subject to all the individual taints and problems that we are all subject to.
He was also subject to many other ones that we are not subject to. May we look at the things
he was proud of in his life. Things he gave as pearls of his life. We who loved him like one of us, for
a particular role we identify with so much. That alone was reason enough for us to love him forever.
I for one who does have faults of my own. Do not expect others to be faultless. i only expect them to
treat others with respect and kindness. He did that in the largest of measures.
REST SWEET PRINCE..............BE HAPPY AND FULFILLED
BennyBoy:
Well no matter what...whether it was accidental or suicide, drugs or no drugs...I just hope he went quick and didn't suffer.
I know that I personally am not afraid of death but am afraid of the suffering that may come before. I pray to God that Heath didn't have to experience one second of pain. That was the last thing that he deserved.

In SoHo, Heath Ledger was scruffy loner

To most of the world, Heath Ledger was an A-list Hollywood star, but in SoHo he was a scruffy specter who wandered the cobblestone streets mostly alone.
"I didn't know he was an actor," said Camile Angelo, the host at the Grotta Azzurra Ristorante at Mulberry and Broome Sts., where Ledger often ate breakfast. "He was always the first customer. He was always here alone."
Ledger moved to a SoHo loft from Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, last year after splitting with girlfriend Michelle Williams and quickly became linked to a slew of starlets and models.
But when Angelo saw the "Brokeback Mountain" star last Thursday, the actor had only his cell phone and iPod for company.
"I told him to stop text messaging because his steak and eggs were getting cold," Angelo said. "He smiled."
Liz Bullis, sales manager of Gourmet Garage on Broome St., said she sometimes saw Ledger with his 2-year-old daughter, Matilda. He usually wore ragged jeans, an old jacket, brown boots and a stubbly chin, but when she spotted Ledger buying organic sausages and bagging his own groceries Monday, he'd cleaned up his act a bit.
"He's usually very scruffy, but he was clean shaven," Bullis said.
The Miro Cafe on Broadway was another Ledger haunt. Once again, the unfailingly polite young man gave no inkling he was somebody special.
"We were surprised, we never knew he was an actor," manager Max Barrsi said. "He was practically here all the time for coffee . . . always very nice with us."
At the Spring Street Natural Restaurant, a bartender who asked not to be identified said Ledger often came by in the evening for a drink, which he nursed at a table in the back. He didn't stand out in the crowd.
"We have a lot of celebrities here," he said.
