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.
My name’s Jen; I’m a cynical, sarcastic, ex-drummer who is fond of dark humor. I've held way too many factory & retail jobs but finally found my calling one Christmas holiday in a dark, musty basement. I am now a CSS & XHTML web standards looney and can be found daily—when I’m not at my Mac—at the local fair-trade coffee shop buying an iced-soy mocha no matter the temperature.
I am also the owner of Pop Stalin Design specializing in CSS & XHTML web design as well as custom WordPress themes.
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?
