I was at the gym on the treadmill when I saw the news scroll across the screen on the E! channel. I just stopped. I ran over to my bf and blurted out, "Heath Ledger just died!" We were both dumbfounded. I didn't expect his death to affect me like it did. I was so sad not only because he was so young but also because he was on the brink of superstardom and he had a little girl.
He just blew me away in BBM. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing Ennis.

I had a similar reaction. I was sitting at my desk at work when a friend phoned me from a country town on the coast, about 7 hours north of where I live (Sydney). When I picked up the phone and said, "Hello," instead of the usual formalities, all Karen said was, "Heath Ledger died." I remember exclaiming, "What?!" She gave me the news from the morning newspapers but I don't think I was really listening closely to what Karen was saying, because my head was spinning with the words, "Heath Ledger died." I couldn't believe that someone so young and talented could be dead. I checked the morning papers on the internet and then started sending emails to friends. I'm still working my way through my grief. It's better than it was. :'(
MsMercury:
I understand, Kerry. That's why a lot of the IMDB people came here. They could express grief without being flamed. I frequently the IMDB boards but I do get sick of the trolls there. I just ignore them.
