Heath Ledger...what a loss...what he might have done on screen in the next decade....
Saw "The Insider" last night, and Al Pacino commanded the screen. A true great. Astounding in "Angels in America" too.
And Gregory Peck...thanks for listing "The Yearling", my all-time favorite sad movie...
The lists keep getting better....
