Ledger Portrait Wins Australian PrizeBy Associated Press A portrait of Hollywood star Heath Ledger painted weeks before his death has won an Australian art award. 
The painting features a bare-chested Ledger staring from the canvas as two images of the actor whisper into his ears. On Thursday, it was awarded a secondary prize by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in its annual national portrait competition.
