Australian film organization creates Ledger scholarship
Heath Ledger was known for giving aspiring Australian actors a hand in Hollywood. Now, an Australian film organization has established a scholarship fund in the late actor's name to continue those efforts.
"There's an entire tribe of Australians who have all benefited from his generosity," said Susie Dobson, president of Australians in Film, or AiF. "This (scholarship) captures Heath's spirit and serves our mission to help and celebrate Australian filmmakers."
Ledger - who died at 28 of an accidental prescription drug overdose in January - had served as an ambassador for the film organization and its board wanted to honor him after his death, Dobson said.
Director Gregor Jordan announced the establishment of the Heath Ledger Scholarship Fund last week at AiF's annual Breakthrough Awards, where he read a statement from Ledger's father, Kim Ledger.
"Although reluctant to lend his name to anything commercial, we know Heath would be proud of his attachment to this scholarship," Kim Ledger's statement said. "This scholarship in part does what Heath has done personally during the last 10 years and supported financially or in kind many friends, Australian actors, singers, directors or writers seeking to ply their talents in the USA."
Jordan also said that Michelle Williams, mother of Ledger's daughter, "would be very proud and happy to be the first benefactor" of the scholarship fund.
The first recipient will be announced next year, Dobson said.

Aretha Franklin celebrates Black Music Month
NEW YORK -- An essay from Aretha Franklin, an Earth Wind & Fire tribute from Mint Condition and blog posts from rapper YoYo are among the featured elements of BlackVoices.com's Black Music Month celebration.
In her essay, which goes live June 15, Franklin expresses her enthusiasm with the state of modern R&B.
"At one point, I was very concerned when the hip-hoppers came in about the future of R&B," she wrote, "But now with artists like Usher, Anthony Hamilton, Fantasia, Chris Brown, Raheem DeVaughn, Erykah Badu and artists like that let me know that R&B is in good hands, absolutely alive and well and mega-watt."
BlackVoices.com is also hosting a "best album of all time" online vote, quizzes and interactive profiles of the biggest names in black music.
Said Franklin in conclusion, "Black Music Month really serves to remind us of what a really rich musical heritage and legacy we have that has been passed on -- in more than generous measure -- to our generation and the younger generation by yesteryear's artists such as Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke, Ruth Brown, the Clovers, Jackie Wilson, Johnny Taylor, Clyde McPhatter, the Moonglows, Hank Ballard and the Midnighters and the Drifters. So keep on doing it and keep on representing."

Jagger assassination plot revealed
'The FBI at 100', a new BBC Radio 4 documentary, has revealed that members of the Hells Angels gang planned to assassinate Jagger nearly 40 years ago.
Tom Mangold, who presents the series, told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper that Jagger fell out with the Hells Angels after a member of the gang killed a fan during the band's infamous free concert at Altamont in 1969.
During the concert, for which the group had hired the local chapter to provide security, the gang terrorised the crowd and were reportedly offended by Jagger's effeminate dancing.
Later 18-year-old fan Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death in front of the stage. A Hells Angel was tried for Hunter's murder but claimed self-defence and was acquitted.
According to the documentary, the Hells Angels felt they had been duped by Jagger as fingers were pointed in the aftermath of the concert.
Former special agent Mark Young said in the documentary that a boatload of Hells Angels set out to take revenge on Jagger at his holiday home in the Hamptons, near New York City about 40 years ago.
Presenter Mangold told the Sunday Telegraph: "The Hells Angels were so angered by Jagger's treatment of them that they decided to kill him."
"They planned the attack from the sea so they could enter his property from the garden and avoid security at the front."
"The boat was hit by a storm and all of the men were thrown overboard. All survived and there was not said to have been any further attempt on Jagger's life."
