36 Ways We'll Always Remember Heath Ledger
It's been 8 years since Heath Ledger's tragic death. Heath first hit the Hollywood scene in 1999, stealing hearts and winning fans as Patrick Vernon in 10 Things I Hate About You. From there, the Australian actor became a bona fide heartthrob with roles in The Patriot and A Knight's Tale, and he later entered Oscars territory with his memorable performances in Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight. Tragically, Heath passed away in January 2008, but seven years later, he continues to live on through his unforgettable roles. Here are 36 ways we'll always remember Heath Ledger.
