It occurs to me two things, that there may be more tributes to Heath Ledger on YouTube than to anyone else, and that he would surely love knowing that he inspired 'just folks' to make videos, though them being about him might feel a bit daunting.
Ellemeno:
John, I love seeing the Grotta Azzurra menu. Heath ordered the most expensive meal they have. :) And the typo on the bottom line reminds me they never tied the knot. With that image, who'd want to? :)
Aloysius J. Gleek:
Ha!
I bet Ennis would have had Steak and Eggs, when he managed to put a few dollars together and he went into town every other week or so--
As for the typo--well, that's traditional 'Ethnic' New York Menu-ese. It's like the old hand-woven oriental carpets with one mistake-on-purpose, so Allah wouldn't strike the weaver down!
Thanks so much, Clarissamissima, for the idea. I'll be photographing more of those cute dives very soon.
And Amanda--I may make a little contribution for the Memorial--even if only electronically so, on BetterMost--
and maybe this is IT, as it is now February--(!) and I had wanted to mention this photo below--
So:
My favorite photo of Heath--
Published almost exactly two years ago (sigh--) in The New York Times Sunday Magazine, dated February 19, 2006,
photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin made the Third Annual
"Great Performers: Portraits of 26 actors who made the films of 2005 so memorable."
(Makeup by Peter Philips/Hair by Christiaan/Styled by Marc Kroop--they made the fake tear drop match his real tatoos!)
