Mikaela:
I think this here news story is extremely sad. Heath's legacy has been reduced to a plastic action figure doll that collectors are buying up to sell on EBay...
Not that there's anything wrong with action an figure per se (considering my numerous Lord of the Rings action figures, complete with glow-in-the-dark swords, full sets of armour and what not, I can hardly claim there's not a legit and appreciative market for them). But when it comes with such morbid interest attached, and hectic greed from (some) customers in order to cash in on and profit from an untimely, tragic death.... it's depressing. *sigh* I don't know. I guess it's just human nature. :-\ :'(

Mikaela:
And as counterpoint, here's the real deal. I look at this picture and I look at the two very nice photos of Heath that Chrissie has posted further up on this page, and .... well, it's just strange to me.
BelAir:
I feel in some ways, that Heath really did grow up "before our eyes" ... He wasn't a child star per se, but when you look at all his early publicity shots, etc. compared to the more recent ones it's just a world of difference.
I don't know exactly what I MEAN by that, just wondering if others see it too.
Sometimes, in a weird way, I wish all the pictures weren't out there.
Oh one thing about Heath pics, is to remember sometimes he is in character, and sometimes not - so I think maybe that explains some of the Joker weirdness Mikaela?
:-\
The Joker anticipation is making me miss him a lot.

I know what you mean. And it's no wonder. When he started acting, he was still a boy, a teenager. Itis a world of difference between a teenager and a grown up man in his late twenties, with an own family an' all.
What continues to amaze me is how he looks different ages in different movies. I know, make-up and all makes a difference. But still, when I see pictures of Casanova and then think this was afterhe became Ennis, it's still amazing.

Yes. Guess I'm lucky that I don't live in the US, seeing the cast all over the TV shows, promoting TDK.

Good morning Heathens :)
