Heath Ledger could have turned 45: how the role of the Joker killed the actor (5 photos)

On April 4, Heath Ledger could have celebrated his 45th birthday. In the 2000s, he acted a lot and was considered almost the main handsome man on the stage. He first appeared on screen in 1999, when he played in the romantic comedy “10 Things I Hate About You,” and in 2009, his last film, “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” was released. He died in January 2008; they say he simply could not control himself because of his role as the Joker in Christopher Nolan's Batman film.
