Charmaine Bingwa is the 2018 Heath Ledger Scholarship Recipient

Pop Entertainment was invited to cover the arrivals at the Heath Ledger Scholarship event at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. It was a night of gratitude, love, and beautiful memories of a man that inspired us all. Everyone was dressed to the nines as they gathered to walk the red carpet. The night started off with some of the board members of AIF, followed by past and present judges. Then the finalists, along with some of the VIP guests all gathered for photographs and interviews.
