Thanks For 'Brokeback,' Heath


Heath Ledger was on top. And soon his much-touted twisted Joker role in "The Dark Knight," the next "Batman" installment, was about to catapult him further into superstardom. But, even so, no role of his can compare to the unforgettable Ennis, the deeply-wounded gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain." With it, he pushed the envelope. Some said his career could've nose-dived. It didn't. But his life did. Today, Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment. Indeed, to lose someone so talented, so young and so daring is devastating. All I have to say is: Thank you, Heath, for giving us a story we'll never forget.
