FRIENDS REMEMBER LEDGER ON 29TH BIRTHDAY

As family and friends continue to try to come to grips with Heath Ledger's death in January, Friday marked what would have been the actor's 29th birthday.

"It was an honor to work with him, and I think that he'll always be in people's thoughts," Ledger's "Brokeback Mountain" co-star Kate Mara, who played his older daughter, told People magazine at a Beverly Hills event for the Kenneth Cole Awareness Fund. "I think he affected people that he'd never met before."
