Heath Ledger's legacy

Princess Sleepyhead and friend
The man was a brilliant actor -- you didn't need to see Batman to know that. His performance in Brokeback Mountain was startling, so tortured, so convincing. But to the younger generation he will never be more or less than The Joker -- something he did pull off in a staggering fashion. As my friend Margaret said: "I looked and looked for the actor behind the mask and couldn't see him." It was a masterful piece of work -- and a great shame he won't be around to see the accolades he so richly deserves. (And a great shame for his family too.)
