Heath Ledger Movie Marquee



Yesterday was the funeral for Heath Ledger, the 28-year-old star of Brokeback Mountain (2005). As I was searching through my photo collection I came up with this 2005 photograph of the Wilshire movie theater marquee.

Right there in the middle of busy LA was a marquee that announced in bold blue letters, "BIG, SWEEPING AND RAPTUROUS LOVE STORY!" Pretty amazing text for a love story about two men.

There's some pretty interesting blips about Ledger on the Huffingtonpost.com.

Ledger was really talented. You just wonder how the role in Brokeback Mountain affected him. The subject of gay cowboys is not your everyday movie theme.

Seems like many of the really big stars get their start in projects that revolve around gay characters/themes.
