The saying is “It happens in three’s” so I wonder who’s next. What is it about young Hollywood and younger deaths? I know this is seriously off-topic but when I saw the news about Ledger, I was just blown away. To make matters worse, in my opinion anyway, he was found dead in Mary-Kate Olsen’s apartment (according to the CNN article I read earlier).

Anyway, I think the real tragedy here are the young being consumed and spit out by the Hollywood “glamor” machine; how this doesn’t happen to more people amazes me.

    Yeah, I was shocked to read this earlier tonight as well. So sad, and such a pity since he really was a talented actor.

    And btw, I believe the apartment is owned by the Mark-Kate Olsen, not necessarily her actual apartment. I believe The Twins own a number of properties in Manhattan.

    Kinda scary you’re so knowledgeable about the twins, Lor. ;) The irony of it all is that I knew Renfro had alcohol/drug problems so his death wasn’t as much of a shock as Ledger’s.

    I guess when you hear about someone in Hollywood dying young but none of the bad publicity that precedes it, it comes from left field, ya know?
