Becoming famous after death isn't uncommon, unless you are a Hollywood actor. Heath Ledger's family were pleased with the premier of Dark Knight in which Ledger starred as The Joker.
Dad, Kim Ledger told reporters it was "very good" and they were very proud of their deceased son's performance. Other family members ducked the red carpet.
Christian Bale, Batman, said Ledger "steals" the movie and he was happy to be able to say that. "he's a hell of a talent and created a joker that was very ironic and will become a classic."
