Heath Ledger’s Family to Catch “Dark Knight”
Heath Ledger’s family is planning to attend the premiere of The Dark Knight in New York City next month.
The family, who will be traveling from Perth, Australia, confirmed the news of their attendance on June 14th, just shy of the six month anniversary of the actor’s unexpected death. Ledger died on January 22nd at the age of 28 from a prescription drug overdose.
“What happened with Heath is so sad. It’s tragic; it’s hard to believe,” costar Aaron Eckhart told People magazine on Saturday at the Style Villa Sports Presents Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. ”I enjoyed my time with him immensely.”
Eckhart, who portrays Harvey Dent in the Batman sequel, described Ledger as “magnetic.”
“Heath was loved by everybody on the set. It’s not all the time that the crews are interested in what is going on. Sometimes they get blasé about things, but Heath was electric,” he said. “The crew watched him, we all watched him, and he brought such energy to his part and to the set. It was amazing to watch. People were in awe of him.”
