Heath Ledger first came to the attention of the public in 1999. He was born on the fourth of April 1979, in Perth, Western Australia.
In junior high his two favorite things to do were cooking and acting. Heath was talented ever since little, and at the age of 17 he decided to take a car and move to Sydney. His first real acting job came in a low budget movie called Blackrock.
Heath Ledger in fact traveled a long road to achieve his dream as an American actor, which he eventually did, and did it right. He was able to gain several teenage girls’ hearts through “10 things I hate about you” and astonish the World with his role as “The Joker” in the Batman trilogy.
However, before accomplishing his dream goal, he first accomplished other goals in areas in which he was great, such as chess! Heath Ledger was an accomplished chess player and won Western Australia’s junior chess championship at age 10!
He surely was a true legend.
