Heath Ledger - When Ledger's name was announced as the winner of the 'Best Supporting Actor' statuette at this year's Academy Awards, the ovation from his contemporaries was long, heartfelt and bittersweet. These last years, the Australian actor's career had gained deserved momentum: From heartthrob (1999's 10 Things I Hate About You) to acclaimed thespian (Brokeback Mountain), Heath was establishing himself as a serious artist. By all accounts, Ledger so threw himself into his role as 'The Joker' in The Dark Knight (2008) that he had trouble sleeping. His restless nature may have been his downfall: On the 22nd of January, 2008, a housekeeper discovered Ledger's lifeless body in his Manhattan apartment. Toxicologists ruled that death was due to an accidental and toxic combination of prescription drugs; he was only 28. For his public, Heath Ledger left behind countless great performances, but were he able to name his greatest legacy; it would undoubtedly be daughter Matilda Rose.
