Naomi Watts and Heath Ledger broke up some years ago, but she was nonetheless devastated by his death. She made her first public appearance on Saturday night - at a film fest that featured a tribute to Heath - but was unable to make it through the evening without breaking down in tears.
Naomi was at the Tropfest Film Festival in Sydney, Australia, to judge and
present awards at the annual event. But she broke down when a video
tribute — a complilation of clips from Heath's films, including Brokeback Mountain and Candy — was aired, reports Page Six.
Produced by film director John Polson, the tribute included clips from all of Ledger's movies including Brokeback Mountain and showed him presenting an award at Tropfest while music played in the background. "The Australian film industry lost someone very special a few weeks
ago. He was gentle and had a humble spirit. We send our deepest regrets
to his family. He's an incredible loss," Polson said.
The actress - who had earlier flown into Sydney with her baby son Alexander -
had cancelled her appearances at the Sundance Film Festival after hearing
of Ledger's death. She had dated the actor for two years after they met
on the set of Ned Kelly.
