Heath Ledger April 4, 1979 – January 22, 2008 was an Australian actor and music video producer. After playing roles in several Australian television and film productions during the 1990s, Ledger moved to the United States in 1998 to further develop his film career. His work consisted of twenty films, including 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), The Patriot (2000), A Knight’s Tale (2001), Monster’s Ball (2001), Lords of Dogtown (2005), Brokeback Mountain (2005), Candy (2006), I’m Not There (2007), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009), the latter two being posthumous releases.

He was nominated for the BAFTA Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, Golden Globe Award and Oscar for Best Actor, becoming the eighth youngest nominee in the category at the time.

Ledger died on January 22, 2008 from an accidental drug overdose. A few months before his death, Ledger had finished filming his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight. At the time of his death, The Dark Knight was in post-production, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was in the middle of filming, in which he was playing his last role as Tony.

Ledger was an avid chess player, playing a few tournaments when he was young. As an adult, he often played with other chess enthusiasts in Washington Square Park. Ledger was a fan of the West Coast Eagles, an Australian football team that competes in the Australian Football League (AFL) and is based in his hometown of Perth. Besides being a chess player, Ledger was an avid photographer

In 2004, he began a relationship with actress Michelle Williams after a meeting on the set of Brokeback Mountain. Their daughter, Matilda Rose, was born on October 28, 2005, in New York City, where he shared a house with Williams in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn from 2005 to 2007. In September 2007, Williams’ father confirmed to the Daily Telegraph that Ledger and Williams had broken up.

Following her breakup with Williams, the tabloid press and other public media linked Ledger romantically with models Helena Christensen and Gemma Ward. In 2011, Ward said the couple started dating in November 2007 and their families spent Christmas that year together in their hometown of Perth.

Around 3:00 p.m. On January 22, 2008, Ledger was found unconscious in his bed by his housekeeper, Teresa Solomon, and masseuse, Diana Wolozin, in his loft at 421 Broome Street in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood.
