Curse of the 'Clown' Look

Two days ago, Heath Ledger died alleged of a drug overdose. His last screen outing: as The Joker in Christopher Nolan's anticipated "The Dark Knight" which will be out this summer. Before he died, Ledger was quoted as saying he lost plenty of sleep because of the role. On March 31 1993, Brandon Lee was killed by a prop gun while shooting on the set of "The Crow". Both actors were incidentally portraying characters which required their face to be heavily make-up with a creepy clown look. And both actors incidentally passed away at the young age of 28. Spine-chilling when you think about it.
