Heath Ledger Leaves his Daughter Matilda a Golden Globe Statuette
Posted on 13 Jan 09
Aside from Heath Ledger’s estate worth millions of dollars, Heath left his three-year-old daughter Matilda Ledger one more thing to remember him by - his Golden Globe statuette.
Last Sunday, Heath Ledger won a Golden Globe Award for ‘Best Supporting Actor’ posthumously for his portrayal of Joker in “The Dark Knight.” Heath’s mom said that Matilda will have the Globe. Matilda is the only daughter of Ledger and former fiancée Michelle Williams. Heath died in January 2008 of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
Robert Pattinson Defends Heath Ledger’s Honor
Posted on 31 Dec 08
While attending a live comedy show, the “No on H8 show” at The Improv in Hollywood a few weeks back, Robert Pattinson reportedly took offense to a rude comic’s joke on Heath Ledger.
According to reports, the 22-year-old Twilight megastar booed a comedian who said, “Here’s my impression of Heath Ledger,” before falling to the ground while faking convulsions. Other people from the show said, “Robert and his friend went nuts yelling at him. “[Pattinson screamed] f–k you! You suck!”
As though prone to boos and shouts, the comic failed to recognize that he was being booed by the world’s most famous young star right now.
Pattinson seems like a bad boy with his latest Vampire role and grunge look, but deep down, he’s just a guy who knows how to stand up for what’s right. I guess this just gives Twilight fans another reason to love Rob…
Michelle Williams talks about Heath
Posted on 24 Nov 08
When Heath Ledger died earlier this year, his ex-wife Michelle Williams stayed away as possible from the limelight. With two films to promote – ‘Wendy and Lucy’ and ‘Synecdoche, New York’, Williams started talking about her private life.
Williams opens up about living under a microscope while coping with Heath Ledger’s death, explaining how she feels about an exposed life, “It’s such a funny line to walk as an actor. There’s some great quote I think Dustin Hoffman gave when he was doing ‘The Graduate’: ‘The more you know about me, the harder my job is’.”
When asked about how she’s handling Heath’s death, Williams explained, “It’s so sad. I guess it’s always changing. What else can I say? I just wake up each day in a slightly different place—grief is like a moving river, so that’s what I mean by ‘it’s always changing’. It’s a strange thing to say because I’m at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It’s just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone. In some ways it gets worse. That’s what I would say.”
The interview seemed hard for Michelle Williams, especially since it has been the first time she’s talked about how she felt about her life this past year.
