Heath Ledger, who won a posthumous Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actor in The Dark Knight, is the subject of Entertainment Weekly’s latest cover story.

In the new issue, Heath’s friends, former co-stars and those who worked with him behind the scenes open up with their thoughts on the actor, who died nearly a year ago, on January 22, 2008.

Julia Stiles, co-star, 10 Things I Hate About You (1999): “Heath always seemed so mature. I got the sense he was averse to becoming any kind of teen idol. I think he felt like 10 Things had more substance, but he anticipated that if he did more movies like this, he’d get stuck doing teen romantic comedies.”

Ledger was 28 at the time of his death. He would have turned 30 in April.
