DragonKing Dark Podcast: The death of Heath Ledger
We continue our 100 darkest moments in pop culture history by looking at the death of 28-year-old actor Heath Ledger.
He had a couple of breakout moments: first in the movie Brokeback Mountain and then in an even more iconic portrayal of the Joker in the The Dark Knight. Then, he died suddenly from a drug overdose.
The tragic story of an actor who had just broken through to a whole other level only to be struck down in his prime is the focus of this week’s DragonKing Dark.
