Hat tip to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
viridian for the link (and feiran for breaking the story to me): Heath Ledger, we hardly knew ye. Wow. I just...wow. feiran pointed out that he's all of two years older than we are. And he has a little baby. ::wants to cry::
The Dark Knight will still happen, apparently, which is good, but weeeeird. I guess I'll know how people felt going to see The Crow after Brandon Lee's spectacular, senseless death.
It's weirder still for the fact that Brad Renfro died last week, also with heavy hinting that he might have had a drug-related death. I broke that story to my former roommate, who bemoaned the loss of another former teen idol (she's still grieving for Jonathan Brandis). I wonder how she'll take this.
(Incidentally, this is making for a great argument for Elektra complexes. Having crushes on older stars makes more sense--hell, look at Robert Downey Jr. He's rolled more drugs than a pharmceutical factory--because they've at least made their drug addictions compatible with living. Sigh.)
