Ledger Family Attends “The Dark Knight” Premiere

It may be the most buzzed about film role of the year. And the late Heath Ledger’s family was in full force to see their beloved son/brother play the Joker at last night’s premiere of “The Dark Knight.”

Not big fans of glitz and glamour, Heath’s dad Kim and stepmother Ines made a beeline for the doors at the AMC Loews Lincoln Center cinema. Heath’s mother Sally Bell and her husband, along with Heath’s older sister Kate also showed up.

And as Kim Ledger emerged from the theater, it was clear that he gave his seal of approval to the film as well as his son’s performance with a big ‘thumbs up.’ He told press it was “very good” to be in attendance.

Co-star Christian Bale also offered encouraging words about Heath’s performance in the film. “Working with Heath was fantastic. He steals the movie and I’m quite happy to say that. He’s a hell of a talent and created a joker that’s very iconic and one that will become a classic portrayal of the ages.”
