WHO Is Jenna Sorrell???
Posted by HH Admin: Friday, 11 January 2007

Ahhh, the dangers of sites that let the common masses post any information they want to. Specifically Wikipedia & IMDb.

Having not visited Heath's Wiki page in about a year and a half, I recently wandered over to have a look. To my surprise, an mysterious new tidbit of information had been added.

At sixteen, Ledger sat for early graduation exams, and left school to pursue an acting career with girlfriend Jenna Sorrell. With his best friend, Trevor DiCarlo, Ledger made the cross-country drive to Sydney.

Wow! Now having been a Heath fan for years, read his interviews, and been a webmaster, this was news to me. Who is this chick? Is this legit or has some girl named Jenna gone in, wishfully thinking, and added her name to Heath's roster of girlfriends?

Needless to say, I went about researching. Here is what I found.

Jenna Sorrell is now mentioned in no less than a dozen biographies of Heath, directory-listings and celebrity pages, ALL REFERENCING WIKIPEDIA as their source.

But here's the problem . . .

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO INDEPENDENT REFERENCE TO THIS WOMAN ANYWHERE (that I've found):
● No legitimate news article mentioning her.
● No interview with Heath mentioning her, although Trevor is mentioned a myriad of times.
● No magazine article that I've found mentioning her (not even dating back to the old articles, and believe me, I have thousands on my computer).

Miss Sorrell appears to only exist on Wikipedia and those sites who copied Wiki for their bio's.

Is it true? When Heath & Trevor left Perth, did Heath take a girlfriend about whom we've never heard? I dunno. But from what I've been able to find, it appears to yet another case of everyone and his brother on the web taking info from Wikipedia at face value and using it as legitimate biographical information.

Wikipedia is a great source of information that I refer to often. But remember folks, Wikipedia allows anyone to change and add information, and if they can't prove it wrong or if it's not obviously trash, they leave it.

So . . . sorry, Jenna, wherever you are. You're busted. I'm chalking this one up to FALSE, unless someone can prove to me otherwise.
