Australian Heath Ledger Returns To His Roots For Candy
November 07, 2006

Oscar nominated for his portrayal of cowboy Ennis Del Mar in "Brokeback Mountain," Brooklyn resident Heath Ledger stars in a new film "Candy," which was filmed in his birth country, Australia.

The film, which also co-stars Abbie Cornish and Geoffrey Rush, was an all-Aussie project and was directed by first-timer Neil Armfield. "Candy" is about an unusual three-way love affair between a man, a woman, and their heroin addiction. NY1’s George Whipple talked with Ledger about his new role.

“Candy” will open in New York City on November 17.
