Heath Ledger died on January 22, 2008 at 28 years old, but his impact on the world was indelible. While Ledger is known for a plethora of unforgettable performances, teen rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You remains a favorite of many. And Ledger's costar, Julia Stiles, has only wonderful memories of the late actor.
In a new interview with E! News, Stiles paid tribute to Ledger, with whom she worked on the popular 1999 movie. "He was amazing," Stiles told the outlet. "He was such a bright light." Recalling the Brokeback Mountain star's special aura, Stiles explained, "He just walked into the room and lit it up."
