![]() | IN MEMORIAM 2007-2008 BEST MOVIE OSCARS 2008 Heath Andrew Ledger (April 4, 1979 -- January 22, 2008) was an Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and SAG Award-nominated Australian-born film actor who lived in New York City. After appearing in television roles during the 1990s, Ledger developed a movie career, appearing in nearly 20 films. He starred in both critical and box-office successes, including 10 Things I Hate About You, The Patriot, Monster's Ball, A Knight's Tale, and Brokeback Mountain. For his portrayal of Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, Ledger was nominated for a 2005 Oscar for "Best Actor in a Leading Role" and won awards from the British Academy and the Australian Film Institute, as well as two MTV Movie Awards. In addition to his work as an actor and as a producer and director of music videos, Ledger also aspired to be a film director.[1] Ledger completed filming his role as the Joker in the forthcoming movie The Dark Knight,[2] shortly before dying from an accidental prescription drug overdose at age 28.[3][4][5][6] His last acting project was Terry Gilliam's unfinished film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Ledger was born in Perth, Western Australia, the son of Sally Ledger Bell (née Ramshaw), a French teacher, and Kim Ledger, a race car driver and mining engineer.[10] Ledger's father comes from a family known in Perth for their ownership of the Ledger Engineering Foundry.[11] The Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust was named after his great-grandfather.[12] Ledger attended Mary's Mount Primary School, in Gooseberry Hill,] and later Guildford Grammar School, where he had his first acting experiences, starring in a school production as Peter Pan at age 10.[12][4] Ledger had an older sister, Kate. Their parents divorced when he was eleven. Other siblings include two half-sisters, Ashleigh Bell (b. 1989), his mother's daughter with her second husband and his stepfather Roger Bell, and Olivia Ledger (b. 1997), his father's daughter with second wife and his stepmother Emma Brown. Ledger was an avid chess player, winning Western Australia's junior chess championship at the age of 10.[16][17] As an adult, he often played with other chess enthusiasts at Washington Square Park.[18][19] Prior to 2002, Ledger had dated actresses Lisa Zane and Heather Graham.[20] From August 2002 to April 2004, Ledger had a relationship with actress Naomi Watts, whom he met during the filming of Ned Kelly.[21] Ledger met and began dating actress Michelle Williams on the set of Brokeback Mountain, and their daughter, Matilda Rose, was born on October 28, 2005 in New York City.[22] Matilda Rose's godparents are Ledger's Brokeback co-star Jake Gyllenhaal and Williams' Dawson's Creek castmate Busy Philipps.[23][24] Problems with paparazzi in Australia prompted Ledger to sell his residence in Bronte, New South Wales and move to the United States, where he shared an apartment with Williams, in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, from 2005 to 2007.[25][3][26][27][28] In September 2007, Williams' father, Larry Williams, confirmed to Sydney's Daily Telegraph that Ledger and Williams had ended their relationship.[29] After his break up with Williams, in late 2007 and early 2008, the tabloid press and other public media linked Ledger romantically with supermodels Helena Christensen and Gemma Ward and with actress and former child star Mary-Kate Olsen. |
![]() | Louis Bacon Orch. -Panama 1939 Louis Bacon-t/Eddie Brunner-Albert Ferreri-cl-ts/Freddy Johnson-p/Roger Chaput-g/Wilson Myers-sb/Tommy Benford-d. A trumpeter and vocalist, Louis Bacon can be added to the short list of jazz performers that need to be invited to a banquet, putting him in the company of Floyd R. Bean, Phil Napolean, Benny Waters and Chuck Steak, among others. Listeners most often recognize Bacon as a name amongst the horn section on recordings by the Duke Ellington orchestra and Louis Armstrong in big band mode, material that has been reissued in enough different formats to make the discography of Bacon as fat as a large pork shoulder roast. He was raised by a widow in Chicago, and began playing professionally at the age of 22 with the combo of Zinky Cohn. In 1928, Bacon slid onto the New York City plate, backing up a pair of dancers known by the stagename of Brown and McGraw. In 1928, following a short stint with the excessive Bingie Madison, the trumpeter joined the band of Lt. J. Tim Brymnn before cutting loose in 1930 with Chick Webb. Following four years racing after this great swing drummer, Bacon spent a year frying in the Ellington sizzle. Next up was Luis Russell, who became even more interesting to work with in 1938 following the creation of a combined band with Armstrong. Subsequent recordings by this outfit are generally where jazz fans find themselves hearing Bacon for the first time. A bout of tuberculosis took Bacon off the fire just when this new group was really taking off, but it turned out not be as disastrous to his career as this disease could be. By 1939, the trumpeter was back onstage at the Savoy Ballroom, working with the Benny Carter Big Band. At the end of that year he left for Europe by boat in order to join up with Willie Lewis, an American bandleader who had fled the United States. This turned out to be a ticket to extensive touring for the next two years. Bacon hung with Lewis in Portugal and traipsed back home after him in 1941 when Lewis decided to repatriate. In 1942 Bacon worked with trumpet giant Cootie Williams, a former colleage from the Ellington band. Bacon was subsequently ill again, then back in action with reed player Garvin Bushell in the summer of 1944. Later in that decade Bacon performed in U.S.O. tours of Asia as a member of the Jessie Stone Orchestra, the music strongly reminiscent of the Armstrong and Russell arrangements. By the '50s his medical problems pretty much forced him to abandon trumpet playing, but he was onstage from time to time at New York City clubs such as Ryan's, focused more and more on his vocal work and had considerable success as a vocal coach. In the '60s, Ryan worked more often as an ambulance driver then a musician, the sirens probably reminding him of Cootie Williams. |
