<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn a world where an actor’s success is often measured by box office numbers, net worth, and lavish lifestyles, Heath Ledger<\/a>‘s quotes shine through, even years after his tragic passing.Ledger, best known for his Oscar-winning performance as The Joker, spoke candidly about fame and fortune in an interview published in The Daily Telegraph on November 18, 2007. During the chat, he shared his honest thoughts about the weight society places on wealth and material success.<\/p>\n ‘No amount of money changes what I do between ‘action’ and ‘cut’… Before I got into the industry, I never imagined I’d have anywhere near the money I have now… I don’t need any more. It’s not that I don’t want the money, it’s just that I would have been really happy sitting on a beach or surfing every morning… I never had money, and I was very happy without it. When I die, my money’s not gonna come with me. My movies will live on \u2013 for people to judge what I was as a person. I just want to stay curious.’<\/p>\n His quote about life, money, success and death, came just a year before his sudden passing in January 2008. The Hollywood film industry was left shaken by the news of Ledger’s tragic passing at the age of 28. His death was caused by an accidental overdose of prescription medications.<\/p>\n Heath Ledger rose to fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He quickly transitioned from teen heartthrob to more complex performances in films such as ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and ‘The Dark Knight’. Known for his intense method acting and emotional depth, the star was known to chose roles that challenged both himself and kept his fans on the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n Ledger\u2019s final completed performance as the Joker in Christopher Nolan<\/a>‘s ‘The Dark Knight’ remains one of the most celebrated portrayals in cinematic history. His haunting performance set a new benchmark for comic-book villain portrayals on screen. In 2009, Heath Ledger was posthumously awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role. It marked one of the rare instances where a comic-book villain performance was recognised by the Oscars, and remains one of the most iconic posthumous wins in the Academy Awards history.<\/div>\nQuote of the day by Heath Ledger<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
