Heath Ledger was supposed to celebrate his 38th birthday last Tuesday, April 4. It was in 2008 when news of his untimely death shocked the world.
Ledger was at the peak of his career when he got accidentally intoxicated with prescription drugs. The Hollywood actor had just finished shooting for The Dark Knight at the time where he was honored for his great portrayal of Batman’s villain Joker.
He is also known for his award-winning performance in Brokeback Mountain, and for being a teen rom-com icon in 10 Things I Hate About You.
Earlier this year it was announced that a full-length documentary on the life of the actor was in the works.
