Cave

[ithildin]

You know how sometimes you have moments where you feel like you must be living in a cave or some remote foreign local? That's what it's been like since yesterday when Heath Ledger died. It's the topic on my f'list and on many of my email lists. I had absolutely no idea he was so popular. I'd heard of him, knew he was an actor, but that was about it. I checked IMDB to see if I'd ever seen any of his movies, but I hadn't. I've come across one other person who hadn't seen him before either. We must be sharing cave space.

It's very sad for his family, and I feel for his fans who are taking his death as such a blow.

A lot of people I know were discussing it as well, and they all seemed to truly like his work. Which struck me as odd, since, when we've spoken of our favorite actors in the past, his name has never come up.

I think he was one of those actors that many people more or less knew his work, thought he was a nice guy and a really good actor, and someone who thankfully, was not seen every day in the tabloids.

A truly sad thing to lose both Brad and Heath -- more talented people who died too young . . .
