Heath Ledger: The caption with a photo of Heath Ledger on Wednesday’s front page said that Mel Gibson had directed the actor, and an article inside Section A about Ledger’s death stated that Gibson cast him in “The Patriot,” suggesting that Gibson had directed the film. The 2000 film was directed by Roland Emmerich, who was responsible for the casting of Ledger. Ledger did not appear in a film directed by Gibson.
