Perth unveils Ledger Theater
From the Associated Press
The Australian hometown of the late actor Heath Ledger named a theater in his honor Tuesday for his commitment to acting.
The $87-million, 575-seat Heath Ledger Theater in Perth is a fitting tribute because Ledger was always supportive of other young actors, Western Australia state Premier Alan Carpenter said.
Ledger died at 28 of an accidental prescription drug overdose in New York in January.
