Large 20'' x 16'' photo of Heath Ledger in his most iconic role as The Joker in ''The Dark Knight,'' which won him a posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. On this photo, Heath's father, Kim Ledger, handwrites revealing observations about Heath taking on the role of The Joker:
''Heath pretty much locked himself in a hotel room for weeks to develop and play The Joker. He galvanised the upcoming craziness. That was typical of Heath. He would do that. He liked to dive into his characters only this time, he really bumped it up a notch! / Kim Ledger / Father of Heath Ledger''. Kim then writes a line of Heath's dialogue as The Joker, '''Smile, because it confuses people. Smile, because it's easier than explaining what is killing you inside.'''
Photo measures 20'' x 16''. Near fine condition. With an additional LOA signed by Kim Ledger.
