The
sudden
death
of
Heath
Ledger
has
shocked
Hollywood
with
his
contemporaries
and
its
veterans
responding
in
utter
shock.
The
word
is
that
he
was
a
brilliant
actor
and
that
Hollywood
has
lost
one
of
its
future
greats.
The
actor,
who
has
acted
in
17
odd
films,
was
on
a
roll.
There
seems
to
be
no
valid
reason
why
he
should
have
ever
gone.
There
are
many
reason
why
he
should
have
been
found
dead
and
one
of
the
most
seemingly
obvious
reasons
is
that
he
was
seriously
overworked.
He
said
that
the
work
for
his
role
in
The
Dark
Knight
was
way
too
strenuous
for
him
to
take
–
the
reason
for
which
he
was
loosing
sleep.
He
had
been
taking
the
same
pills
that
were
found
near
his
body
for
a
while
as
he
was
trying
to
catch
up
on
his
sleep.
So
was
this
just
a
case
of
being
tired
out
by
Hollywood
or
to
put
it
in
a
blunter
way
the
price
of
fame
and
fortune?
And
he
is
not
the
only
one
who
has
paid
this
price.
Anna
Nicole
Smith,
Kurt
Cobain,
Jimi
Hendrix,
James
Morrison,
Janis
Joplin
and
the
ever
immortalized
Marilyn
Monroe
have
also
paid
thus
price
thus
showcasing
the
more
dirty
side
of
Hollywood
and
the
fee
one
has
to
pay
to
become
a
privileged
member.
And
it
seems
that
dying
young
has
proved
to
make
them
more
famous
that
if
they
last
for
years
and
decades
together.
