"Sofia Vergara has revealed that Heath Ledger inspired her. The 38-year-old Colombian star, who is best known for playing Gloria in Modern Family, said that she got a similar tattoo to Ledger after working with him in skateboarding movie Lords Of Dogtown in 2005. Vergara told The Daily Telegraph: &amp;quot;We had a lot of conversations while we were on the set and during makeup and I got an idea from him. He had a tattoo on his wrist of his sisters&amp;#039; names and after I talked to him I did a tattoo of my brother&amp;#039;s name who passed away.&amp;quot; Ledger had the initials K, A, O and S on his left wrist for his sisters Kate, Ashleigh and Olivia and his mother Sally.  Vergara also revealed that she remembers being in New York when she heard of Ledger&amp;#039;s death from an accidental overdose of prescription medication in 2008.  The actress&amp;#039;s brother Rafael was shot dead in their home country during a kidnap attempt in 1998. As a result, she fled the country with her mother, son and sister. She said that since losing her sibling, she doesn&amp;#039;t &amp;quot;sweat the small stuff&amp;quot;. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
