LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The life and work of Heath Ledger will be celebrated in an hour-long documentary on Ovation TV, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The documentary about the Oscar-winning actor will premiere in August for the cable channel's 'Live Fast, Die Young,' a week-long event, which delves into the lives of stars who died young. Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Belushi will also be featured.

LONDON, UK -- While Heath Ledger won a posthumous Oscar for his iconic role as the Joker in 'The Dark Knight,' the late star had one more movie in the works before his death - director Terry Gilliam's 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.'

'We were devastated' upon hearing the news, Terry told the UK's Times newspaper.
