Heath Ledger until his death on Tuesday was envied by young men all over the world then again why wouldn’t they? Ledger had a baby daughter, Matilda with the love of his life, Michelle Williams. Critical acclaim – including an Oscar nomination for his role in Brokeback Mountain – gilded the appeal of his good looks; his movie fees were measured in millions.

All this and still only 28. So much for the Tinseltown hype. The Australian hunk died naked, alone and surrounded by prescription drugs.
