I guess Heath Ledger’s death is still very shocking to me because when I read that Johnny Depp named a beach after the actor, I got goosebumps.
The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean‘ actor owns a private island – called Little Hall’s Pond Cay – in the Bahamas and has paid tribute to the late Hollywood star by naming a stretch of sand Heath’s Place.
The ‘Dark Knight’ actor died aged just 28 of an accidental prescription drugs overdose in January 2008.
Depp was a close friend of Ledger’s and stepped in to help finish his final movie ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus‘, after Ledger died part-way through filming.
Depp has also named a beach on the 45-acre idyllic island after his partner Vanessa Paradis and their two children – 10-year-old daughter Lily-Rose and son Jack, seven.

Aww that is so sweet and thoughtful! It’s nice to see that Hollywood isn’t all about b*tches and backstabbing!
I still can’t believe that Heath is gone.
Johnny seems so down to earth and sweet.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love him more…
And he’s got Gonzo Beach after Hunter S. Thompson.
Love Johnny!
Wow, that’s really touching. His death is still shocking to me too, such a terrible loss for his little girl, his loved ones and the art of acting.
i think this “news” is quite old. and sure that it’s a tragic lost for his family and friends but for the “art of acting”? i have to say that i loved heath since his not so artsy movies (10 things i hate about you, a knight’s tale etc.) and imho if he didn’t die after tdk people still wouldn’t know/love him b/c he is not that great of an actor. entertaining, yes, but “art of acting” is just pushing a dead person on a podest.
