franc,

your guess would be wrong, as i don't recall any of those 3 winning an oscar for a performance, after they had passed away.

THAT was the point and jist of the posts, not as to who had drug problems and succumbed to them.

i agree glenn..

why does NO ONE consider that Ledger OD'd because he voluntarily CHOSE to consume a literal pharmacy of pills that caused his death? what a moron. does anyone remember the initial stories talking about the menagerie of drugs found at his apt? why reward someone for that? i guess it's all very PC and gives good face to the Academy. he WON because he OD's and was so young--period.

it isnt as tho he died of terminal cancer or from a heart attack, prior to the awards, like peter finch did.

I liked TDK. I didn't fall all over myself in praise of it but it was certainly a movie I'd watch again. As to Heath Ledger. Great performance but I don't think he'd have won if he hadn't died young.

My 2 cents...

Yes.

But then again, I'm one of the simpletons who actually liked The Dark
Knight.
Apparently no one else in MoPo land did.
