Arriving in our mailbox this morning was this reminder that, exactly six months ago today, an actor who was not Heath Ledger died:
Hello! :)
I am a huge fan of the late Brad Renfro. Today, Tuesday, July 15th, marks 6 months since Brad's untimely passing. Is there anyway that you could mention something in honor of Brad on the anniversary of his death? This is a significant and sad day for Brad's family, friends, and fans who loved him dearly, and as a fan, I think it would be so nice to see someone in the media actually pay respect to him on this day of remembrance.
And we were totally ready to whip up a couple lines of copy noting Renfro's half death-day … until we got to the second paragraph of the email:

Such a shame. A good looking young actor with so much potential dies as a result of the demons he could not escape.
Yet that ugly beast whinehouse, with that rats nest on her head, just continues to drink and take drugs and yet she still walks among the living.
Talk about life not being fair.
RIP BRAD
I was a huge fan of his back in the day. So sad
=(
And what fuck is a frodad?
he was quite good in apt pupil.
RIP, renfro.
re frodad: i'm pretty sure my dad was one back in the 70s. he kept a pick in his fro for impromptu afro grooming.
first impression is that it has some connection to elijah wood
