Biography Heath Ledger
Heath Ledger:
"I love acting. Oh, God, I love it. But all this fame and attention. I'm not supernatural. I've done nothing extremely special to deserve the position. It happens every couple of years, and it's happened to hundreds of people before me."
Heath an his older Sister Kate are named after the brooding hero of Wuthering Heights, a Novel by Emily Brontë. Heath Andrew Ledger was born in Perth, Australia, on April 4, 1979, to Kim, a mining engineer and racing enthusiast, and French teacher Emma. His parents divorced when Heath was ten, but he appears to have been remarkably unaffected by the split. ”The point I got to very quickly after my parents’ divorce,” he explains, “was to realize they were just human.”
Together with his Kate, Heath developed his stage craft with the Globe Shakespeare company in Perth.
Heath did also a lot of sports, he played in the Kalamunda Field Hockey Team in the early 90's, his Father, Kim, was the President of the Team and persuaded fellow pupils at Guildford Boy’s Grammar School to enter a national dance competition, going on to lead them to victory as the first all-male group to win the event.
At the age of 16, Heath left the school, soon revealed the determination that has served him so well in his career. Along with childhood friend (since the age of 4) Trevor Di Carlo, he set off on the 2,600-mile journey to Sydney in search of fame and fortune.
In 1996 Heath played Australian TV's first young gay character , theOlympic hopefulSnowy Bowles in the series Sweat. Heath's choice of particularly taxing roles is typical of his career, as is the self-criticism which led him to declare himself "hopeless" in the role.
His movie debut was in 1997, a surfermovie called Blackrock. Later Heath appeard in the Aussie Soap Home And Away. Following his growing success Down Under he decided to try his chances in America where he was soon appearing in the TV drama Roar playing the main chracter Conor, a Celtic Warrior Prince, there he felled in love with co-star Lisa Zane – sister of Titanic baddy Billy. Other romances included model Christina Cauchi, actress Heather Graham (dated October 2000 - June 2001) and Naomi Watts
A leading role in the 1999’s 10 Things I Hate About You resulted in a deluge of offers to appear in similar teen-film roles, but Heath accepted non oft them. "I had a year where I sat around on my butt and declined generous offers to do more teen movies and more of the same characters as the one from 10 Things,” he says. “I was literally living off instant noodles and water just because I was sticking to my guns. It was very hard because they offer you so much money.”
A year later Heath was back on the big screen, opposite his favorit Aussie Actor Mel Gibson in Roland Emmerich's Masterwork The Patriot. He got the Role and Ryan Phillippe lost.
Later he Played Sir William Thatcher/Sir Ulrich Von Lichtenstein of Gelderland in Brian Helgeland's A Knight's Tale, Sonny Grotowski in Monster's Ball (2001 with Halley Berry and Billy Bob Thornton), Harry Faversham in the Four Feathers (2002), Ned Kelly (2003), Alex Bernier in the Order (2003 / the sin eater), Jake Grimm in Brother's Grimm (2004 with Matt Damon). Later he played in Brokeback Moutain and he was the Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger died 2008. (c) 2009 heathledger.info

Biographie Heath Ledger (German)
Heath Andrew Ledger wurde am 4 April 1979 in Perth, Australien, gebohren. Er war das zweite Kind von Sally und Kim Ledger. Beide Kinder wurden nach 2 Charakter der Emily Brontë Novelle: Wuthering Heights benannt. Schon früh war Heath sehr sportlich und war Mitglied des Kalamunda Field Hockey Teams Anfang der 90er Jahre, sein Vater war Präsident desselben.
Heath fand dank seiner älteren Schwester Kate mehr und mehr Gefallen an der Schauspielerei. Seine Schwester erreichte jedoch schlussendlich nicht annähernd Heath's Bekanntheitsgrad; heute ist sie lediglich als seine Agentin und Pressesprecherin tätig.
Zusammen statten die beiden Geschwister regelmässig der Global Shakespeare Company in Perth einen Besuch ab, wo sich Heath die Hauptrolle in dem Stück Peter Pan schnappte. Während seiner Schulzeit an der Guildford Grammer School trat er dem hauseigenen Dramaclub bei und wurde mehrfach ausgezeichnet, sowie zum Teamchef ernannt.
Nach seinem Schulabschluss im Jahre 1995 ergattere er seine Erste feste TV-Serienrolle in der Jugend-Drama-Serie Sweat, in welcher es um juge Athleten geht, eine optimale Rolle also für den sportlichen Ledger. Er spielte dort einen schwulen Radfahrer, der sich im Verlauf der Serie outet. Später schlug es in zusammen mit seinem besten Freund Trevor Di Carlo nach Sydney durch und er versuchte dort den Durchbruch als Schauspieler zu schaffen. Sein Leinwanddebüt war Heath Ledger1997 später im Surferfilm Blackrock vergönnt !
Ebenfalls 1997 ergatterte er sich die Hauptrolle in der Nostalgieserie Roar, in der er den Protagonisten Conor der Kelte spielte. Später drehte ebenfalls nochmals in Australien "Two Hands" und hatte danach genau einen Tag um in die USA zu reisen und dort mit den Dreharbeiten zu "Zehn Dinge, die ich an dir hasse" (10 things I hate about you) zu beginnen, in dem er Patrick 'Pat' Verona verkörpert. Es ist eine art modernes Shakespear The Taming of the Shrew.
Danach wandte er sich von den Teenagerkomödien ab, da diese laut seinen Aussagen nicht genug Tiefgang haben und wartete ein Jahr bis er bei Roland Emmerichs "Der Patriot" (the Patriot) zum Casting ging. Heath konnte sich nur knapp gegen Ryan Phillippe durchsetzen und ergatterte die Rolle an der Seite von seinem Vorbild Mel Gibson. Heath spielte Mel Gibson's (Benjamin Martin) Sohn, Gabriel Martin.
Nach diesem Welterfolg folgte ein weiterer Kassenschlager, Ritter aus Leindenschaft (A Knight's Tale). Hier lenkte aber nicht Mel Gibson den Bus, sondern Heath übernahm das Ruder und spilte den einen Ritter, ohne einen ebenbürtigen Mitschauspieler. Auch auf allen Plakaten war nur Heath abgebildet. Nun war Heath endgültig ein Star, gepuscht durch Foto-Sessions, abgebildet in einschlägigen Magazinen, wie der Vanity-Fair.
Es folgten Filme wie die vier Federn (Four Feahters), Monster's Ball mit Halle Berry, The Order (Sin Eater), die Gebrüder Grimm (Brother's Grimm) mit Matt Damon und schlussendlich seine bekanntesten Rollen als schwuler Cowboy in Brokeback Mountain und als Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight. Am 22. Januar 2008 wurde Heat Ledger tot in seinem Appartment in New York aufgefunden. Er starb an einer Überdosis von verschiedenen Medikamenten. Die Polizei ging von einem Unfall aus.
