Ellen Pays Tribute to Heath

Ellen DeGeneres has made a touching tribute to Heath Ledger, whom she "an amazing, amazing, talented young man." She devoted the end of her talk show today to Heath and introduced a clip of the two of them "riding" on a bobsled in front of a green screen.

Thanks for posting that. It made me smile — when there have been no smiles about Heath since his untimely death. I know he is in a better place. But my heart goes out for those who loved him.

I lost a very special person, who reminds me of Heath, twenty years ago to a drunk driver. You never get over it.

I’m just disspointed with the press as normal as he wanted to be, without being bothered he still can’t be left alone in peace.

Heath will always remain in our hearts as a great person that he was… and as to what happened to him… there isn’t much we can do, but know that he is now in a happier place and will soon have a new life in that better place…he will always be missed. I send my love to his family and his daughter.
R.I.P Heath Ledger

love,

HEATH WAS MORE THAN WHAT OUR WORDS CAN EVER DESCRIBE.. HE WAS ADMIRED BY ALL FOR HIS AMAZING TALENT WE SAW ON SCREEN AND HE WAS LOVED BY FAMILY FOR THE PERSON ONLY THEY KNEW… I WISH EVERYONE WOULD LEAVE HIM ALONE NOW, STOP SPREADING INCENSITIVE RUMORS, REALIZE THAT HE WAS JUST AS HUMAN AS THE REST OF US, ONLY IMMORTAL ON FILM. REMEMBER HIM, RESPECT HIM, AND RESPECT HIS FAMILY. RIP HEATH, YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED…

Heath Ledger and all young actors like him should live their lives as they see fit and not care what other people think about the “chooses” they make or how they decide to live their lives. I’m holding my breath……to see what “pops” up! I have my ‘theories’ but I’ll wait and see “who comes out”…
REST IN PEACE OLE CHAP…..

It was very shocking to me when I heard about Heath’s death. He was a great actor.

My sympathy goes out to all his family and friends.

As a parent with a two year old daughter, I couldn’t imagine telling my daughter if something happened to her DADDY. So my heart goes out to Michelle Williams.

I am a little disappointed with the staff at extra, I watch your show everyday because i believe in the truth. Iam disturbed by the drug and suicide accusations regarding your story on heaths death. i worked on the set of ten things i hate about you as an extra and enjoyed Heath very much. Heath had a wonderful sence of humor and was always up and cheerful. I will miss heath gratelly he is one hell of an actor and was very sincere. Iam asking that you PLEASE respect his family and especially his young daughter as they are mourning their loss. Please focus on that damn Brittney trash her all you want but RESPECT HEATH.

I am surprised how upset I am by his death. I think he was very talented and had a lot of great work in front of him still. What a tragedy.

He was clearly a sensitive soul, a gentleman, a talented artist, and so much more. It seems the world is hardest for those that have these beautiful and fine qualities. I wish that wasn’t the case. My heart goes out to his family and all those that knew and loved him. Rest in Peace, Heath.
