Ang Lee, the Academy-Award winning director of 2005’s Brokeback Mountain, which starred Heath Ledger, has just released a statement concerning Mr. Ledger, who was found dead yesterday.

Mr. Lee said:

“Working with Heath was one of the purest joys of my life. He brought to the role of Ennis more than any of us could have imagined - a thirst for life, for love, and for truth, and a vulnerability that made everyone who knew him love him. His death is heartbreaking."

I was so taken aback when I heard of Heath Ledger's passing. The first time I saw him was in 10 Things I Hate About You. I knew he was going to be big. I've watched him through the years but nothing could have prepared me for his role in Brokeback Mountain. What an incredible talent. My love and prayers go out to his family.
