I remember all the "conspiracy theories" that came out surrounding Heath's death. They were so wrong.
One of the things that stuck with me about his performance is that Joker never reveals how he actually got those scars. He would change his story depending on who he was threatening. It made the character's backstory more mysterious.
Baby you got a stew! 😂
Also, wow this brought back memories of how successful and unique this film was and how it changed pop culture! I also distinctly remember when I heard about heaths death. He really did seem like a genuine soul and I’m so sad he died so soon. GREAT video! Didn’t feel long at all and I was sad when it ended!
