The Most Impressive Joker

      Heath Ledger. Born on April 4, 1979 in Perth, Western Australia and died on January 22, 2008 in New York, USA. Ledger is of Irish and Scottish descent. He lived in Western Australia until he was 16, after which he dropped out of school and moved to Sydney.

      Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment on January 22, 2008 at 3:26 p.m. local time. Prescription sleeping pills and packages of other over-the-counter drugs were found near his body. The actor was only 28 years old.

      The official cause of death was “acute poisoning caused by the combined effect of six different drugs.”

      The last completed film with his participation is "The Dark Knight" ("The Dark Knight") by director Christopher Nolan, the sequel to "Batman Begins". Ledger played the role of the Joker. In an interview with "The New York Times" Heath Ledger said that the role of the Joker exhausted him and he could not sleep more than two hours a day because he could not stop thinking about the filming.

      In the history of the American Film Academy, there are only two actors who did not live to receive the well-deserved "Oscar".

      Ironically, both are Australians - Peter Finch and Heath Ledger.

      Today we remember the actor who played the most impressive Joker of all time.
