VIDEO : New Heath Ledger Documentary Headed To TV

(CNN) Heath Ledger seemed to enjoy a charmed life, right up until his death from a drug overdose at the age of 28. The tragic finish inevitably casts a pall over his story, something "I Am Heath Ledger," an intimate documentary drawing heavily on personal video and interviews, attempts to gloss over. Actor Ben Mendelsohn refers to the vibe as a "pre-'Entourage' type 'Entourage' house." While the actor left behind several indelible roles -- foremost among them "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Dark Knight," whose Joker earned him a posthumous Academy Award -- the movie engages in a bit of embroidery about his personal life and screen career while shortchanging other areas.
