Heath Ledger's Final Act

So, it seems like we stumped everyone.

This small space on the corner of Bedford and Lorimer is tentatively called The Five Leaves, and will be opened by one of Heath Ledger's close friends. The late actor, who's last movie is obviously doing pretty well, was a key backer of the the project and was going to be a full partner. His untimely death put the project in jeopardy, but  his father became executor of the estate and because he knew how much the project meant to heath, he released the funds to finish construction. The name Five Leaves is a working name, and comes from  Swan cigarette papers that tell you when there are just five left in a package. A bit later, we will take you inside the nautically themed cafe and bar.

Then one of the commenters wrote:

Hey, wasn't the late Heath Ledger a huge admirer of Nick Drake? So, I guess the name of the restaurant might be inspired by the name of Drake's Album Five Leaves Left

yeah, clearly an allusion to five leaves left. nice work, dbth. guest of a guest put the swan papers thing (what Drake was referencing) in their title.

I didn't know who Martin Henderson is, so looked him up on IMDb.  He starred in "Sweat" with Heath, and then was one of the people heath lived with in Sydney when he first left home.

Great photo!!  Good to see something new!

Is that Gemma Ward behind Martin?  (I thought it was Christian Bale at first! Heehee!)

[Brown Eyes]

At first glance I thought it was Bale too. LOL.

Me three.

The picture is from the 2004 premiere of Henderson's movie "Torque". So I don't think the woman in the background is Gemma Ward. She would have been sixteen by then (yes, I looked this up).


The two seem to have fun (but the guy in the background not ).
