Model Christina Cauchi, whom Heath dated back in 2000-2002, told actor’s passion for films as she says, “There were always cameras around — a video camera or a Polaroid camera or the film camera.”
On his acting skills, director Ang Lee says, "Even as the supporting actor, he will steal the whole show. That's the power of Heath Ledger.”
The documentary features Ben Harper’s song, Happily Ever After in Your Eyes, which Ben composed in 2005 on Heath Ledgers’ special request for his then newly born daughter.
Ledger, who played remarkable role of Joker in 2008 Nolan’s directed Batman film The Dark Knight, will always be, remembered for giving new lives to characters by acting so passionately.
There are masterpiece films, such as 10 things I Hate About You, A Knight's Tale, Candy and Brokeback Mountain, which are hard to imagine without his contribution.
The documentary will be released at Tribeca Film Festival on April 23 and will be aired on Spike television on May 17.
