Heath Ledger’s Lasting Impact On Aussies In Hollywood

We are in the thick of awards season, and so far we've seen a few Aussies take home some pretty impressive accolades. We know Hollywood is chock full of Australians. Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, just to name a few. But arguably the most notable Australian to make it big in Hollywood was the late Heath Ledger.
