Just logged into Yahoo! Mail and after erasing all the insidious junk mail, I chose to check out the top stories on Yahoo! today. This article is particularly interesting:

Apparently, Heath Ledger came third in the top ten people who make more cash in the afterlife than they ever did whilst alive. Ledger currently outranks Lennon, Einstein and Steve McQueen.

Discuss.

    In all fairness, Heath Ledger was a massive improvement over Australia's other export, Paul Hogan. Although Crocodile Dundee II was awesome.

      Australia has exported a good number of folks our way: Olivia Newton John (though she was originally from England), the whole original Little River Band, Men at Work, Rick Springfield, Keith Urban, Kylie Minogue...just to name a few.

      Can't stand Gibson's take on directing although Mad Max was awesome.

      me either

    That's not a surprise in the first year after a blockbuster movie was released. If I recall correctly, John Lennon's estate no longer has any financial interest in the Beatles catalog.

      You're totally right although credit where credit is due, Heath Ledger is kicking butt up there in the afterlife. It's like he's Little Mac on Punch-Out or something. Still, he won't beat The King though. No-one can dodge his super punch.
