10 Things I Hate About You: The enduring charm of Heath Ledger in a romcom that still sings, 27 years on
Nostalgia is a wound that's also a balm, and it stings either way. We keep searching for the past in the present, and get disappointed that the past insists on staying where it is. So when the present offers us a glimmer of the days gone by, we clutch at it, relive it, and blame the present for never being what the past was. Julia Stiles honours Heath Ledger with ‘10 Things I Hate About You’…
In "10 Things I Hate About You," Julia Stiles pays tribute to Heath Ledger with a dance performance on Dancing with the Stars. The routine, set to Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," showcases Ledger's unforgettable performance in the 1999 film. The dance is part of a class reunion staged in a ballroom, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik, Gabrielle Union, Andrew Keegan, and Susan May Pratt joining Stiles.
Ledger, who tragically passed away in 2008 at the age of 28, continues to cast his spell, appearing in his numerous films and iconic song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." The film's soundtrack, filled with songs from the 1960s and 1970s, adds a nostalgic touch, while the story of Patrick Verona and Kat Stratford remains timeless, as they navigate the complexities of love and self-discovery.
