Heath Ledger - the grieving thread
Ellemeno:
Hey, I went over to IMDb and invited grieving Heathens on the Heath page and the BBM page to come visit us. If that draws any trolls, just click on "Report to Moderator" within their post, and poof, gone. But hopefully, it'll help some people who could use the support.
On the Heath page --> http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005132/board/flat/95833061
On the BBM page --> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/board/flat/95833279

The IMDb Heath page is moving so fast, that my invitation is already on page 3, just 25 minutes after I posted it. If you could maybe follow the link and say sumpn, it would bump it to the top again. I just think we are a port in a storm here.

in SoHo he was a scruffy specter who wandered the cobblestone streets mostly alone.
--- End quote ---
No: to me, he always dressed funky. He occasionally had long hair but always his own unique style. He dressed like lots of twenty-somethings! And wandering alone? He required to fulfil a certain role, that of ‘hot, young actor’. He probably enjoyed the peace and quiet!
--- Quote from: jmmgallagher on January 24, 2008, 03:28:58 pm ---"I didn't know he was an actor"
--- End quote ---
I can’t imagine Heath ever using the phrase, “do you know who I am?”. He was a normal, down to earth guy regardless of his career.
--- Quote from: jmmgallagher on January 24, 2008, 03:28:58 pm ---"He was always the first customer. He was always here alone."
--- End quote ---
Sorry, but you can pretty much always catch me at Starbucks at 8 a.m., enjoying a skinny latte and muffin. Alone. Wakening up.
--- Quote from: jmmgallagher on January 24, 2008, 03:28:58 pm ---the actor had only his cell phone and iPod for company.
--- End quote ---
My iPod is my favourite gadget in the world, it’s my best friend walking to work. And a cell phone? If he was such a loner, why would he have a method of communication!
--- Quote from: jmmgallagher on January 24, 2008, 03:28:58 pm ---"I told him to stop text messaging because his steak and eggs were getting cold," Angelo said. "He smiled."
--- End quote ---
Text messaging with a friend, and then smiling when it is pointed out to him. That is not the behaviour of someone who is alone and sad.

"He's usually very scruffy, but he was clean shaven," Bullis said.
--- End quote ---
Oh dear, imagine that. Maybe he felt his beard was getting too long.
--- Quote from: jmmgallagher on January 24, 2008, 03:28:58 pm ---In SoHo, Heath Ledger was scruffy loner
"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."
--- End quote ---
Down to earth, nice guy-no time for celebrity and fame.
--- Quote from: jmmgallagher on January 24, 2008, 03:28:58 pm ---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.
--- End quote ---
If he went to a regular bar, he would have been mobbed by fans. By going to a bar, with a celebrity clientele, he was able to stand back from the crowd and enjoy a quiet drink.
Guys, Heath was (gulp) a credit to his profession, a true gentleman who was a normal guy, enjoying normal things. He liked his own company to eat. He enjoyed music. He liked to blend in with Joe Public in order to detract attention from his celebrity status. I respect that and appreciate his quiet ways.
Sorely missed.
