NEW YORK – Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence, and police said drugs may have been a factor. He was 28. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper who went to let him know the masseuse had arrived found him dead at 3:26 p.m.
A large crowd of paparazzi and gawkers began gathering Tuesday evening outside the building on an upscale block in SoHo, where several police officers guarded the door.
The Australian-born actor was nominated for an Oscar for “Brokeback Mountain,” where he met Michelle Williams in 2005. The two had lived in Brooklyn and had a daughter, Matilda, until they split up last year.
He most recently appeared in “I’m Not There,” in which he played one of the many incarnations of Bob Dylan as did Cate Blanchett, whose performance in that film earned an Oscar nomination Tuesday for best supporting actress.
Ledger was to appear as the Joker this year in “The Dark Night,” a sequel to 2005’s “Batman Begins.” He’s had starring roles in “A Knight’s Tale” and “The Patriot,” and played the suicidal son of Billy Bob Thornton in “Monster’s Ball.”
Ledger grew up in Perth, and began doing amateur theater at age 10. At 16, he moved to Sydney to pursue an acting career, quickly landing TV movie roles and guest spots on Australian television.
After several independent films and a starring role in the short-lived Fox TV series “Roar,” Ledger moved to Los Angeles and costarred in “10 Things I Hate About You,” a teen comedy reworking of “The Taming of the Shrew.”
Offers for other teen flicks came his way, but Ledger turned them down, preferring to remain idle than sign on for projects he didn’t like.
“It wasn’t a hard decision for me,” Ledger told the Associated Press in 2001. “It was hard for everyone else around me to understand. Agents were like, ‘You’re crazy,’ my parents were like, ‘Come on, you have to eat.’”

It’s time for Razzie Awards 2008 Nominations!
Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy scored multiple nominations Monday for the Razzies, which sort out the worst that Hollywood dredged up the previous year.
Lohan’s thriller, “I Know Who Killed Me,” in which she plays two characters, received a leading nine (woo-hoo!) Razzie nominations, among them worst film of 2007.
Murphy’s “Norbit,” released amid a film-honors season that earned Murphy an Academy Awards nomination for “Dreamgirls” last year, received eight Razzie nominations, five of them for Murphy alone, more than anyone has ever gotten in a single year. (Congrats, Eddie!)
Besides worst picture, “Norbit” had nominations for Murphy as worst actor in the title role, supporting actress as Norbit’s beefy wife, supporting actor as an Asian man and worst screen couple for Norbit opposite either of Murphy’s other characters. Murphy also shared a screenplay nomination for co-writing “Norbit.”
“We decided that each of his characters was so offensive that he deserved individual nominations,” said Razzies founder John Wilson. Well, not only the characters in the film, but also his real life character for being such a nasty heartbreaker.
According to Wilson, Murphy’s closest competition for worst screen couple is Lohan in “I Know Who Killed Me,” in which she plays a small-town girl abducted by a psychopath and an alter-ego, a stripper who’s missing body parts.
Lohan’s movie played like a cross between the torture tale “Hostel” and “The Patty Duke Show,” Wilson said.
For worst actress, Lohan polled more heavily than any actor since Sofia Coppola in “The Godfather Part III,” Wilson said.
“‘I Know Who Killed Me’ is the most fabulously brainless movie since ‘Showgirls,’” which Razzie voters picked as the worst movie of the 1990s, Wilson said. “By the end of it, you still don’t know what happened. Are they twins or aren’t they? Did she imagine it? Can I please have my hour and 50 minutes back?” Haha, good point!
The other worst-picture nominees were “Bratz,” a live-action take on the cartoon about four chic young girls; “Daddy Day Camp,” with Cuba Gooding Jr. starring in a sequel to Murphy’s “Daddy Day Care”; and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry,” Adam Sandler and Kevin James’ comedy about firefighters posing as a gay couple.
Sandler and Gooding joined Murphy in the worst-actor category, along with Nicolas Cage for “Ghost Rider” and Jim Carrey for “The Number 23.”
Lohan was cited twice as worst actress for “I Know Who Killed Me,” while the four “Bratz” stars – Logan Browning, Janel Parrish, Nathalia Ramos and Skyler Shaye – shared a nomination. Also nominated were Jessica Alba for three films, “Awake,”"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” and “Good Luck Chuck”; Elisha Cuthbert for “Captivity”; and Diane Keaton for “Because I Said So.”
Along with Murphy, supporting actor included Orlando Bloom for “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” James and Rob Schneider for “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” and Jon Voight for “Bratz,”"National Treasure: Book of Secrets,”"September Dawn” and “Transformers.”
Besides Murphy, supporting actress nominees were Jessica Biel for “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” and “Next,” Carmen Electra for “Epic Movie,” Julia Ormond for “I Know Who Killed Me” and Nicollette Sheridan for “Code Name: The Cleaner.”
A spoof of Hollywood awards, the Razzies made their announcement the day before the Oscar nominations come out. Razzie “winners” will be announced Feb. 23, a day before the Oscars.
