    I miss him. :( He was one of the few actually talented actors in Hollywood that could actually pull off multiple roles…..there are rarely exceptional actors and he was definately one of them.

  12. 12

    god bless.



  13. 13

    Thanks for this, Perez. I love to see him smiling. It breaks my heart to think of all the things he won't do, now. He was talking to Ellen Page about a movie of The Queen's Gambit, that he would direct, when he died. He already directed some videos. I saw one for Ben Harper that was amazing. He had an incredible eye. He was a great photographer, too. And he had a record company with Ben. And of course he was a genius actor. All he needed was time.



  14. 14

    Re: The REAL Orchidgirl! –
    .
    You are an ASSHOLE who has no real life and who spends his/her days impersonating and stalking people on PerezHilton.
    Go get a nice strong noose and hang yourself.

    Love you Heath!!!!!!!!!

    Rest In Peace.

    You are missed!



  39. 39

    Its so hard to believe that it has been a year since Heath passed away. I have dreaded this day all week. Its still so sad that such a talented actor passed away at such a young age before we got to see some of his best work. I have literally cried my eyes out since midnight.

    The best thing today would for him would be to get his Oscar Nomination for Dark Knight. It wuld be the greatest gift and tribute to him and his hard work.
    My prayers are with his family,friends,fans, Michelle and of course his beautiful daughter Matilda.

    R.I.P. HEATH- WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU AND YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

    THANX PEREZ SO MUCH FOR THIS-LOVE YA



  40. 40

    I still can't believe he is gone. My thoughts and prayers are with Michelle and little Matilda

    Re: The REAL Orchidgirl! –

    Re: orchidgirl – TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE CUZ YOU ARE ANNOYING AS HELL.



  44. 44

    i can't believe it's already been a year… he is greatly missed, he was definitely a true talent. peace, happiness, and love to his family and friends



  45. 45

    R.I.P Heath
    I was watching 10 things I hate about you a few hours ago on TV. Can't believe its been a year. My prayers go out to his family and cute daughter.
    :'(



  46. 46

    Re: orchidgirl – you probably made another account to get more attention, stupid bitch.

    rip heath. you were a great actor

    47

    wow still can't believe he's gone



  48. 48

    It's truly hard to believe that it has already been a year.

    He accomplished what few actors ever can given double the time. His resume was one that hinted at the great things that were yet to come from him. As a long time fan it's painful to think that none of these great things will ever come to fruition.

    My heart goes out to his family and especially his daughter. It's a shame that she won't get to experience a father-daughter relationship - I think many take it for granted.

    If there is a such thing as an after life, I can only hope now that, despite his unfortunate death, Heath is able to look back on his life with some contentment when thinking about everything he was able to experience in such a short time.

    RIP Heath, you are missed..can't believe it's already been a year =(



  50. 50

    You are a KING among actors. I miss your talents dearly, and wish that you could have stayed longer. I can only imagine what incredible things you would have done on the screen. I will always remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard of the tragedy of your death. May your light and gift shine on in your beautiful, precious little girl.



  51. 51

    I can't believe it's been a year already. That's so sad. I miss him



  52. 52

    Boo Hoo…..rich, famous has a kid and a wife and fucks it all off by overdosing……When will you idiots quit idolizing and feeling sorry for these idiots

    Re: IM IN LOVE!! – Who's in love? Such a pretty rainbow.



  54. 54

    GODBLESS!



  55. 55

    I finally got to see Dark Night over the weekend and I must say, best freaking performance I have ever seen, bar none, in any movie. He was awesome in it and I even tried to not like him b/c I figured all the hype was built up b/c of his death. I was very much impressed!

    What a thoughtful idea, classy move Mister Perez.



  59. 59

    He is still missed, sigh :( . And the even suckier part, he died on my birthday.



  60. 60

    Re: orchidgirl – Don't you and Mark have anything better to do? You think by making another new account about yourself inorder for people to feel sorry and think you are being picked on is going to continue to work? You have mental issues. You and Assume aka Mark are not enemies, I have established this and I can bet that even though some of the people might not know who I am, believe me. I have no reason to lie. I am sick of your shit. You talk shit about some of the posse members but you are nice to them to get info, then turn around and spill it all to your secret lover, only for him to continue to make fake accounts, either bashing others or making pathetic Orchidgirl names to get attention but playing it off as you have stalkers who are bothering you. YOU are the stalker. I am sick of you coming on here and putting on this act. And dont msg me on MSN messenger threatening me to "shut my mouth" and having Mark email me telling me he will "expose my filthy ass". Go right ahead you fucking assholes. Try me.



  61. 61

    damn, i still miss him.



  62. 62

    We miss you Heath.

    Prayers to everyone in your family and all of your friends on this exceptionally hard day.

    You were a wonderful actor.



  63. 63

    Re: orchidgirl – I'm going to No no slap you if you touch me again!

    RIP!!!

    For all the people who are being so disrespectful, please understand that you didn't have to come here. You didn't have to take time out of your life to post your comments on someone you didn't care about.

    It really is a testimony to how powerful Heath Ledger's death was that you felt so strongly AGAINST it that you leave your anger here on this page.

    He wasn't a drug addict, so please get your information straight. He made a mistake and died. A daughter has no father because of this. Parents lost their son because of this. People lost their friend, their love, their inspiration, their star.

    If you can't feel at least sorry over this, than I sincerely hope that the same does not happen when you die. I hope, however you go, that people will miss you. I hope that a year later, they take a moment and remember that you were here and made an impact on their lives.

    I hope, no matter what disrespect you decide to post here, that someone thinks the world was a better place because you were in their life.

    It is what every human being deserves. It is what Heath deserves.

    If you don't agree, then why waste the time to post it here? If you think he shouldn't be memorialized, then understand that you taking the time to post here isn't supporting your case at all. In fact, it's counter intuitive.

    Let the dead rest without your hatred.

    Rest in peace Heath. The world is a lesser place without you in it.

    Re: Plz Luv Me Every1 xoxo Orchidgirl – Hey Mark, can you quit being a bitch for at least a day and stop making so many orchidgirl accounts. I guess you don't give her enough attention since she needs more fixation from this site.
    Nutjobs.



  72. 72

    I can't believe it's been a year already.
    What an amazing person..Not a day goes by that you are not missed.

    We need a whole lot more Heath in the world!! A beautiful man and incredible talent! :-)



  82. 82

    Re: The REAL Orchidgirl! – Thank you so much for feeling so strongly about my post to curse me off twice. I appreciate that you took the time to read and comment on it. Incoherent and immature thought the response was, at least what I wrote made an impact on you. :)



  83. 83

    :[[[[[

    So sad! R.I.P. !



  85. 85

    RIP
    my prayers and love to him, matilda and the rest of the family!!!



  86. 86

    love you heath!



  87. 87

    Re: The REAL Orchidgirl! – I was contacting all the people who were being disrespectful in general. You were included under that umbrella, so yes. I did. Thank you for being courteous. Now, while you were good enough to show interest in my private affairs, this is not the place for it. Maybe on another place where sexual positions are the topic of conversation. I will be ending this conversation now while we're still on such good terms. Farewell.



  88. 88

    such a talented actor…
    R.I.P Heath Ledger

    I can't believe that it's been a whole year. We love & miss you, Heath.
