Popbitch’s Latest Newsletter Offers Us This Charming Heath Ledger-Related Anecdote

I both chuckled at and felt oddly touched by the following little anecdote regarding Heath Ledger’s character development for The Joker during the filming of The Dark Knight, and felt it worth sharing with you.


During the filming of The Dark Knight Heath Ledger kept a notebook to help him get in character, detailing all the things that he felt the Joker would find funny.

The first entry: AIDS.

Thank you, Popbitch.

    Glad it’s not just me. I read it and had this urge to email it to people because it was just, somehow, COOL.
