    A Tribute to Heath Ledger: The Illustrated Biography

    October 15, 2010
    Meine zweite Ledger Biographie und wiederum bin ich grundlegend enttäuscht. Dennoch muss ich zugeben, dass mir diese Biographie immernoch besser gefallen hat, als diejenige von J.Robb.
    Diese Biographie konzentriert sich - wenn man denn bei einem so kurzen Werk von "konzentrieren" sprechen kann - auf Heaths Filme und seine Beziehung zu Michelle Williams, sein Verhältnis zu seiner Tochter Mathilda. Von dem Cover angesprochen, war ich auch von einigen Illustrationen innerhalb des Buches angetan, auch wenn hier meine Erwartungen wiederum die Realität übertroffen haben.
    Inhaltlich gab es kaum etwas auszusetzen, lediglich zwei grobe Fehler bei Filmzitaten bzw. -bildunterschriften und ein paar schlecht gewählte Ausdrücke (wobei dies auch an der Übersetzung liegen kann).
    Grundlegend ein gutes Buch für einen ersten Überblick über Heaths Leben und seine Filme (wobei einige kleinere Produktionen sogar nur am Rand erwähnt

    Heath: A Family's Tale

    September 6, 2021
    I was a big fan of Heath Ledger from the moment I watched him as the lead actor of the short-lived TV series Roar. His was a career I tracked the rest of the way, fascinated by its twists and turns. When his sudden death was announced in January 2008, it was mere prelude to absorbing one of the great performances in film, which, mesmerized, I watched repeatedly in theaters later that year. I had never watched a single movie so many times in theaters, and I still have yet to, all these years later.

    I picked up this book years ago, and it became a sort of barometer about where I was in an expansive and ever-expanding reading list, almost as if I were hesitant to close a different book, as it were. The results are little different from tabloid journalism, and yet they’re the closest I’ve come to understanding the man who had long fascinated me. He remains, if anything, elusive, which is, all considered, apparently exactly as he would hav

    Heath Ledger: Hollywood's Dark Star

    Brian J. Robb

    Heath Ledger: Hollywood's Dark Star is the definitive story of the life and times of a compelling and intense young man whose loss will be profoundly felt for many years to come. He was one of the most charismatic and powerful screen presences of his generation. Having established a high-profile acting career by the age of 21 with the lead in A Knight's Tale, the young Australian went on to pursue a succession of increasingly diverse and often subversive roles that challenged the film industry's initial impression of him as a mere teen idol. While a limited number of his early roles would hint at the greatness of which he was capable, it was not until his melancholy, Oscarnominated performance in Ang Lee's modern classic Brokeback Mountain that Heath proved beyond question the blistering extent of his abilities and secured his place amongst the Hollywood elite, bringing to this new status a depth of artistry absent in all bu
