28.01.08 Anna Richardson
John Blake is rushing out a biography of Heath Ledger, following the actor's death last week. To be published as a B-format paperback on 7th April, Heath Ledger: His Beautiful Life and Mysterious Death by Fleet Street journalist John McShane is billed as the first biography of the "Brokeback Mountain" star since his death.
According to John Blake, Ledger is likely to reach iconic status in the mould of James Dean, Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix. Australian Ledger was a rising star in Hollywood, mainly due to his Oscar-nominated performance in "Brokeback Mountain".
