Heath Ledger, 1979-2008
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008
While Heath Ledger was most closely associated with his and Michelle Williams’ residency in Brooklyn’s Boerum Hill neighborhood, the actor, who died suddenly this afternoon at 28, also owned a house in Laurel Canyon.
The house is set back from the road and sports a covered outdoor terrace probably 80 feet long—perfect for entertaining.
And indeed when Ledger moved in he hosted a housewarming blowout with the traditional festivities and attendant cars, noise, etc. The neighbors cringed, wondering what they were in for.
The next morning, one of them told me, Ledger stopped by with a bottle of champagne, full of apologies. Nice guy.
Somebody driving past the house a few minutes ago told me that a bouquet had been laid discreetly by the front gate.
