Heath Ledger was born as Heathcliff Andrew Ledger on April 4, 1979 Perth-Australia, and passed away on January 22, 2008, prematurely, at age 28. The son of Sally Ledger Bell (née Ramshaw), a French teacher, and Kim Ledger, a race car driver and mining engineer. Ledger's mother is descended from the Clan Campbell of Scotland and his father comes from a family known in Perth for their ownership of the Ledger Engineering Foundry. Heath (Heathcliff) and his sister Katherine were named after the two main characters in Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust was named after his great-grandfather.Ledger attended Guildford Grammar School, where he had his first acting experiences, starring in a school production as Peter Pan at age 10.
Heath Ledger received "Best Actor of 2005" awards from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the San Francisco Film Critics Circle for his acclaimed performance in Brokeback Mountain, in which he plays Wyoming ranch hand Ennis Del Mar, who has a love affair with aspiring rodeo rider Jack Twist, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. Heath Ledger also received a nomination for Golden Globe Best Actor in a Drama and a nomination for Academy Award for Best Actor for this performance.
In the New York Times review of the film, critic Stephen Holden wrote:
"Both Mr. Ledger and Mr. Gyllenhaal make this anguished love story physically palpable. Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn."
In another review in Rolling Stone, Peter Travers wrote:
"Ledger's magnificent performance is an acting miracle. He seems to tear it from his insides. Ledger doesn't just know how Ennis moves, speaks and listens; he knows how he breathes. To see him inhale the scent of a shirt hanging in Jack's closet is to take measure of the pain of love lost."
On January 23, 2008 Heath Ledger's parents and sister—who learned of his death from a radio broadcast—appeared outside Ledger's mother's house in Applecross, a riverside Perth suburb, and read a short statement to the media:

"We, Heath's family, confirm the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda, who was found in a peaceful sleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30 pm [New York Time]. We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their kind wishes at this time. Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life, but few had the pleasure to truly know him. He was a down-to-earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and unselfish individual who was an extreme inspiration to many. Please now respect our family's need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately."
In reaction to Heath Ledger's death, former partner Michelle Williams, mother of his beloved daughter Matilda Rose, was reported as saying that she was "devastated" at the loss and had boarded a plane to New York City. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd released a statement saying, "It was with great sadness that I have learned of the passing of Heath Ledger... It is tragic that we have lost one of our nation's finest actors in the prime of his life."

MOVIE COMPLETE DIVIDED INTO 10 SHARES

10 THINGS I ABOUT YOU
I hate the way the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car
I hate it when you stare
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind
I hate you so much it makes me sick
It even makes me rhyme
I hate the way youre always right
I hate when you lie
I hate it when you make my laugh
Even worse when you make me cry
I hate it when youre not around
And the fact that you didnt call
But mostly I hate the way I dont hate you
Not even close
Not even a little bit
Not even at all

10 COSE CHE ODIO DI TE
Odio il modo in cui parli e il modo in cui ti tagli i capelli, odio il modo in cui guidi la mia macchina
odio quando mi fissi.
Odio i tuoi stupidi stivali anfibi e il modo in cui mi leggi nella mente.
Ti odio così tanto che mi fai star male, mi fai persino scrivere poesie.
Ti odio quando hai ragione,
odio quando mi menti.
Odio quando mi fai ridere,
odio anche di più quando mi fai piangere.
Odio quando non mi sei attorno e il fatto che tu non mi abbia chiamato.
Ma la cosa che odio di piu' e' il fatto che non ti odio,
non odio nulla di te,
nemmeno una piccola cosa,
niente di niente.
