TMZ has learned that 2006 Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has died in NY. He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime. The 28-year-old actor has a two year old daughter with former fiancee Michelle Williams -- they separated in September, 2007. He plays the Joker in the upcoming Batman film, "The Dark Knight." MSNBC is reporting that the actor was found, surrounded by pills. http://www.tmz.com/

I just don't know what to say about that, I just love him, he's one of my favourite actors. And with such a young daughter. What a shock. He had a lot of talent.

I am in SHOCK! Just like when Steve Irwin died. It all seems so surreal to me. He was one of my favorite young actors too. I feel for his family and his daughter. May they all find peace.

I tried to copy and paste this info, but it wouldn't let me. According to Comcast entertainment news, Heath was having Insomnia and was only getting 2 hours sleep a night and was taking Ambien for it. He would take two Ambien and he said it would only work for an hour. He stated this in November while doing an interview and talking about the new Batman movie. He stated that "I couldn't stop thinking, I was exhausted, and my mind was still going." I don't think he tried to commit suicide, I think he tried to sleep and he accidently over dosed.

Was able to get it from another site: Associated Press Ledger told The New York Times in a November interview that he "stressed out a little too much" during the Dylan film, and had trouble sleeping while portraying the Joker, whom he called a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy." "Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told the newspaper. "I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going." He said he took two Ambien pills, which only worked for an hour, the paper said.

So terribly sad. I'm in shock. He was far too young. God bless his loved ones.

I am in shock too. This is so sad especially as he was so YOUNG... and had a little baby. Sigh. What a tragedy, and for his family to have to deal with misinformation about a suicide on top of it... unbelievably horrible.

We keep having small reminders that each day is a gift. Each day is a gift you have with yourself and the greater gift you have with others. We have lost so many people that constently remind us that life is to fragile to be taken for granted. Princess Di, Steve Irwin, now Heath Ledger for examples. I pray you all receive great love, great health and many blessed years. Hugs...

Emmy Winner Nettleton Dead at 80 Two-time Emmy-winning actress Lois Nettleton has died after losing a battle with lung cancer. The 80-year-old was a veteran of the Broadway stage, films and television; she received Emmys for her roles in The American Woman: Profiles In Courage and Insight in 1977 and 1983 respectively. Born in Illinois, Nettleton was a former Miss Chicago and Miss Illinois before she became an actress in the late 1940s. She made her Broadway debut in Darkness At Noon in 1949 and quickly became connected to the works of playwright Tennessee Williams after starring in a string of his plays. She made her film debut in the movie adaptation of Williams' Period Of Adjustment in 1962. Other film roles included Valley Of Mystery, The Man In The Glass Booth and The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. She was also known for regular roles on sci-fi TV series The Twilight Zone, and she also had recurring roles on beloved shows Murder She Wrote, Full House and The Golden Girls. Nettleton died last week. Link

Sad. I used to see her in all kinds of tv movies of the week, and guest-starring on shows. Actually in OG's pic she looks a bit like Reba MacIntyre. And in this pic she looks a bit like Streisand with those eyes.

I see more Reba look in your pic, Mame.. in fact I saw it before reading your text.. and sadly I can't say I recognize her in either pic, though I had to have seen her, if not in BLWH then on the Twilight Zone.
