About the Book
Heath Ledger: Hollywood's Dark Star is the definitive story of the life and times of a compelling and intense young man whose loss will be profoundly felt for many years to come. He was one of the most charismatic and powerful screen presences of his generation. Having established a high-profile acting career by the age of 21 with the lead in A Knight's Tale, the young Australian went on to pursue a succession of increasingly diverse and often subversive roles that challenged the film industry's initial impression of him as a mere teen idol.
