A TV Documentary About the Life and Death of Heath Ledger Is in the Works

Heath Ledger was one of his generation's most beloved actors before the 28-year-old died in 2008 after an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Although his life was cut tragically short, Spike has a documentary about his many accomplishments in the works. I Am: Heath Ledger will air sometime in May 2017 and will no doubt chronicle the Australian Brokeback Mountain actor's film career and his personal life. His ex-partner and mother of his child, Michelle Williams, has been extremely private about her relationship with Ledger since his death, so there's no way of knowing if she'll agree to appear in the I Am documentary series, which has focused on subjects like Chris Farley, JFK Jr., and Bruce Lee in the past.
