Heath Ledger, I'm Not There
Stephen Schaefer speaks with Heath Ledger a year before the actor's tragic death in January of 2008. One of the finest actors of his generation, Heath Ledger had one for the history books with Brokeback Mountain and here speaks about his appearance as a Dylanesque figure - one of six - in Todd Haynes' homage to the singer-songwriter, I'm Not There. Ledger, who talks about being 28, an actor's life and how it can ruin a marriage (as it did his with costar Michelle Williams) and why he would have played The Joker if The Dark Knight movie was made for $100,000 instead of a $150 million.
