Early years: 1979

Heath Ledger was born in Perth, a western Australian city, on 1979. His father is a racing technician and his mother is a French teacher. I went to primary school in Mary Mount Primary School in Gooseberry Hill, and then I experienced my first acting experience in guildford Grammar School (as mentioned below, I played Peter Pan when I was 10). Ledger's parents separated when he 10 and divorced when he 1 1. When he was a child, he could easily shuttle between his father's house, his mother's house and the small theater in the community. Ledger told Rolling Stone magazine in 2006, "At that time, I was more like a gypsy. Since 1 1 years old, I have been used to running around alone with the same luggage. " His passion for drama was ignited by his sister Kate. At that time, he starred in Peter Pan in Perth, Australia, and began his drama career. Heath Ledger loves acting, and he constantly pays and gropes in his plays.

Dream-chasing teenagers: 1995

Heath Ledger hates school. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, he came to Sydney with his dream of becoming an actor. His first chance to perform was in 1997, a low-budget film called Blackstone, and then he became the star of Roar.

New faces in Hollywood: 1998

1999 starred in two films, Two Hands and Ten Things I Hate You, which basically gave him a firm foothold in Hollywood. However, in a later interview, Ledger said that although this made him gain a little in Hollywood, he hated being labeled as a "brainless lover". He refused to take the campus youth film from the beginning of "Evil Girl Crossing the Street".

Gangs in Australia: 2000

In 2000, Heath Ledger starred in Mel Gibson's Patriot and played Mel's son in the film. In this film, Ledger tasted the recognition from critics for the first time. Rolling Stone magazine wrote, "This new face from Australia has the talent to become a big star". Heath Ledger, flattered, appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair in August that year, with the title "We have a healthy fever".

In the same year, Heath Ledger met a love affair that originated in Prague. Ledger, who was filming Jihad Knight in Prague, met Heather Graham, who was also filming From Hell in Prague. Ledger looked happy when he talked about his girlfriend who was nine years older than himself in the media. "She is really beautiful and interesting. Being with her makes people happy. This kind of happiness is very real. " A year later, in June of 200 1 year, they parted ways. From then on, Heath Ledger also began his unruly Hollywood years.

Knight legend: 200 1 year

In 200 1 year, Heath Ledger was selected as "the 50 most beautiful people in the world" by People magazine, and Ledger was an indispensable reason for the global box office sales of Jihad Knight. From the young man in Australia to the new favorite of Hollywood, all the bright future seems to have just been spread out in front of him. Brian Helgeland, director of Jihad Knight, told Vanity Fair that "people like Ledger usually appear every 50 years".

Slip into the dark period: 200 1-2003

In 200 1 year, Heath Ledger starred in the film "Jihad Knight", and the popularity of this film also made him a new generation of youth idols in Hollywood. In 2002, he starred in the big budget movie Four Feathers, but it was not as successful as expected. In 2003, he starred in Sinayat. After the success of several films, Heath Ledger's next "Kelly Party" was not very popular at the box office and word of mouth, although it was joined by a popular newcomer, Orlando Bloom. These movies seem to be all thunder and little rain. The film industry is gradually moving from the peak to the trough. Heath Ledger adjusted for a period of time, and his works were not released in 2004.

After the flowers and applause in front, ledger obviously didn't adapt to such a period. He is also constantly trying new roles, such as playing Billy Bob Thornton's self-destructive son in Death Row. The highlight of this period is that Ledger started this famous "brother-sister love" in Hollywood and naomi watts.

Brokeback Cowboy: 2004

It is undoubtedly a wise choice for Heath Ledger to star in Brokeback Mountain. Brokeback Mountain has attracted attention and praise in Hollywood before. As a director, Ang Lee undoubtedly pushed Heath Ledger to the pinnacle of his career. We were surprised to find that Ledger, who was invincible in youth, had disappeared, leaving only Ennis, a fuzzy and introverted cowboy. This time, Ledger's acting is really emotional.

Heath Ledger became emotional, and the love in the play finally blossomed outside the play. Ledger and michelle williams, who plays his wife, come together. "At that time, we skied down from the mountain together, and she knelt on the snow. She is always so beautiful in the future shooting, and I told myself that I would take care of her like this. " Ledger told the media like this. In May of the same year, Michelle was pregnant and they stayed in Brooklyn.

At the same time, he became friends with his younger brother Jake Gyllenhaal, who co-starred in Brokeback Mountain. Sister Maggie also plays Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight, and Jack becomes one of the godfathers of Ledger and Michelle's children. (Mathilda Ross's partner is Jake Gyllenhaal, Ledger's partner in Brokeback, and Busy Philipps, Williams' partner in Dawson's Stream).

"I love my new job": 2005

On1October 28th, 2005, 10, another Hollywood baby Mathilde Ross was born. Facing the new role of being a father. Heath Ledger showed unprecedented excitement and happiness. "I made Michelle oatmeal breakfast, fried eggs, then washed the dishes and prepared lunch. Go to the supermarket to buy things and prepare dinner in the afternoon. I like it. I love my new job. "

In 2005, Heath Ledger made a comeback and brought five films, namely Brothers Grimm, Congressman Dogville, Brokeback Mountain, Casanova and Candy, among which Brokeback Mountain was highly praised for its outstanding performance and became a strong contender for the best actor in the 78th Oscar.

This year, Brokeback Mountain premiered, and Ledger gained an unprecedented reputation. The LA Times praised the actor's performance as "amazing", and director Ang Lee even called Ledger a young Brando.

Oscar's New Favorite: 2006

Ledger and Michelle were the most enviable couple on the red carpet of the 2006 Oscar. Ledger nominated the best actor and Michelle nominated the best supporting actress, which were the highest honors of their acting careers. Although the golden statuette passed them by in the end, this year's Oscar witnessed their brilliance and sweetness.

Dark Legend: 2007

It is said that many people were frightened by Heath Ledger's clown costume in Batman Prequel 2, and even more surprised by his performance. In this familiar figure, there is still such deep madness and darkness. Such an extremely arrogant character shows us a different Heath Ledger, and perhaps it is also a man's all-out struggle after bidding farewell to the enviable family life.

Shortly after Ledger kept his mouth shut about "Michelle is a good mother", it broke the news that Ledger was unfaithful to Michelle, and then the two quickly broke up. Perhaps, Ledger's bohemian has penetrated into the bone marrow, and freedom and family cannot be shared?

In 2007, Ledger starred in Todd Haynes's I wasn't there, in which he played hexahedral Bob Dylan. This optimistic film should actually bring Ledger more, but he walked too fast.

The legend is gone: 2008

At 2: 45pm EST on June 22nd, 2008, 1, Heath Ledger was found dead by his housekeeper and masseur in an apartment on the fourth floor of Bloom Street in Manhattan, new york, at the age of 28. According to the report, when the police arrived, Heath Ledger was dead. He died naked with sleeping pills scattered around him. The investigation department of new york recently confirmed that Heath died of acute drug poisoning, and he took too many prescription drugs such as analgesia (oxycodone), sleeping, analgesia, sedation and antidepressant.

On June 23rd, 2008, Ledger's parents and sisters issued a statement at Ledger's mother's house:

We have accepted the tragic fact that our beloved son and the father of Mathilda (Ledger's daughter) have passed away peacefully. We thank all sectors of society for their concern. Heath has influenced others in various ways in his short life, but few people really know him. He is a simple, generous, kind and selfless person who loves life and is a good example for many people. Please respect us and let us calm the sadness of Heath's departure.

Ledger's former partner, michelle williams, almost collapsed when he flew from Sweden to new york. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd issued a statement: When I heard the news of Heath Ledger's death, I was very sad. For our country, we have lost an excellent actor who is about to show his talents.
