Little Matilda Had Heath's Heart

Sassy Smith — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:37:00 GMT

Rumors swirled following the January death of Heath Ledger, that he was depressed and seemed moody and withdrawn on the set of the Batman: Dark Knight movie, however costar Gary Oldman says that is not so. And Ledger often spoke of his little girl, Matilda Rose and it was evident that she was the apple of her father's eye.

Says Oldman, who plays Lt. Jim Gordon in the film, "Because he died people want a dark story [that] he was so obsessed with the character, he was so contaminated by the Joker and he couldn't sleep and all of that stuff.

"In between takes he would sit on the curbside and smoke a cigarette and laugh and talk about his daughter Matilda. I thought he was just a beautiful kid. I thought he was just wonderful. I had a real affection for him."

Aaron Eckhart, who plays District Attorney Harvey Dent in the movie said, Heath would "gush" about his daughter, "Heath showed me pictures of [Matilda]...[he] would come in and say she did this and she did that."

Echkart said that the 28-year-old actor did relish in his role as the Joker, "He really created his look. That character - Heath loved so much. He really cared about the Joker."

Christopher Nolan, director said Heath was perfect for the role, as he was looking for someone "truly fearless."

"[For] those who knew him and those who had the privilege of working with him, it's pretty amazing the disparity between the person he was and the monster that he created for us.

"To see that being created from this very gentle person is a real testament to his skill as an actor."

Michelle & Matilda Driven From Their NY Home?

Sassy Smith — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:03:00 GMT

Michelle Williams and Matilda Rose have reportedly been hounded so much by the paparazzi, that the mother and daughter are being driven from their home in Brooklyn, NY.

Fox News is claiming that the former fiance of the late Heath Ledger is constantly bombarded by the paparazzi and has not been able to live her life in peace with daughter Matilda, 2 1/2. The actress is considering leaving her NY neighborhood.

When Williams and Ledger were together, they were known as "pillars" of their Brooklyn community. Ledger eventually moved out and returned to Manhattan. He passed away in January of this year.

Hopefully, if Brooklyn is where Michelle's heart is, and where she wants to continue to raise Matilda, the paps will back off and let them peacefully exist and live a "normal" life.

Heath, 28, died in his SoHo apartment, of an accidental overdose in January, and Michelle has told friends that she's been visited twice by his ghost - appearing as a "shadowy apparition."

Heath Ledger - No Love Child

Sassy Smith — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 14:31:00 GMT

Heath Ledger's uncle Hadyn Ledger had recently claimed that his late nephew may have fathered a "love child" about 11 years ago, however, that is not the case. Or so it seems.

According to the woman with whom he had allegedly had an affair, it's a baseless accusation. It was claimed that Heath was 17 and the woman was 25, and she discovered she was pregnant after their relationship ended. It's not clear if the woman is denying just the fact that the child is not his or if there was never any "affair" at all.

She told the Daily Mail, "I'm not answering anything. I think it's very, very rude that I'm being posed all of this. I really do. I can't talk about anything. You have no proof, there's no background, there's no grounds, there's no nothing."

Her husband says, "We knew it would flare up and that is the point of my talking and the simple thing is we will do a DNA test.

"I'm a step-dad, but there's nothing to hide... and if I asked [the mother] I'm sure that she wouldn't mind [to have a DNA test]."

So I guess there's no half sister for Matilda Rose. But it sure is less complicated as far as the fights over Heath's estate go.

Heath Ledger's Love Child?

Sassy Smith — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:02:00 GMT

Heath Ledger is father to Matilda Rose - with actress Michelle Williams. However, the deceased actor may have another daughter.

Ledger's family believes that their late loved one fathered a secret love child. Haydn Ledger, Heath's uncle has said he [Heath] had an affair with an older woman when he was just 17-years-old. The woman is believed to have found out she was pregnant after she and Heath ended their relationship. She was living with another man at the time of their alleged affair.

Haydn Ledger said, "There is a very real possibility that Heath was the father." As of recent, there's been a dispute over Heath's will and his reported earnings and who will actually get the bulk of his estate. If he did indeed father another child, that could put a whole new spin on the already complicated situation.

Another family member said of the alleged affair, "She had the baby. Everyone lived under the assumption that (the baby) was the daughter of the mother's boyfriend, and that is how she has been brought up." The woman in question is now married with a young family. She's quoted as saying, "I have my children to think about. I really can't comment."

I guess if this "love child" turns out to be Heath's daughter, Michelle Williams will have to decide if she wants her daughter's half sister in their lives.

Heath Ledger's Family: We Will Take Care of Michelle and Matilda

Michelle Williams' Family Squabble With Ledgers Over Heath's Will

HerBadMother — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:31:00 GMT

It was bound to get ugly eventually, wasn't it? It always does. I mean, did anyone really believe that it was going to be enough for Heath's family to just say that 'Michelle and Matilda will be taken care of' and then march away with his entire estate?

Michelle's dad sure didn't. He's accusing the Ledger family - Ledger's dad, Kim, specifically - with concealing the extent of Heath's assets.

According to TMZ:

Michelle Williams' dad has leveled an extraordinary challenge at Kim Ledger, Heath's dad, demanding that he account for all of the late actor's assets.

Larry Williams, a famed futures trader, tells Australia's Sunday Telegraph that he thinks Kim and family "certainly haven't stated all of the assets" belonging to Heath when he died in January. Larry is "perplexed" that docs filed in a New York court said that Heath had only $145,000 in assets when he died.

"It's real simple," said Larry. "Just come clean with everything. He just has to say where the income went and where the assets were."

Which, yuck. On all counts. Yuck for the Ledgers to be at all non-disclosey about Heath's estate, when the future of his daughter is at stake. And yuck for the Williams to be publicly calling them on this. NOT going to be good for the mood at future family barbeques.

Cons Cashing In On Heath Ledger's Death

Sassy Smith — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:02:00 GMT

How despicable can people be? There are cons who are reportedly selling fake mementos of Heath Ledger in LA souvenir shops. There are posters from his final film The Dark Knight and "signed" photographs of the late actor - but they're not legit.

The Ledger family is said to be furious (and rightly so!) that anyone could do such a thing. A source close to the Ledgers said, "[Heath's family] are appalled and deeply saddened that Heath's name is being used to hoodwink genuine fans. They're furious that pirates are cashing in on his death."

A spokesperson for Warner Bros has indeed confirmed the claims and said to the Daily Star, "We are horrified by these acts of theft and fraud. Fans are being duped. There are no Dark Knight posters or memorabilia connected to the movie on sale yet. We are investigating how they have been pirated."

It's been just over 2 months since the Australian actor passed away at the age of 28 in his Manhattan apartment of an accidental overdose. He left behind 2-year-old Matilda with his ex-fiance, Michelle Williams.

How sad and unfortunate that anyone could do such a thing to the memory of a wonderful actor and person. Hopefully the persons responsible will be caught.

Heath Ledger's Will

Sassy Smith — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 11:03:00 GMT

Details of Heath Ledger's will have been made public as reported by the New York Daily News. The will states that everything he owned goes to his parents, and three sisters. Ledger passed away on January 22 from an accidental overdose.

Heath had filed the three-page document back in the spring of 2003, two years before he met Michelle Williams, with whom he would eventually fall for and have a child with - Matilda Rose.

Documents reveal that the Brokeback Mountain star had less than $145,000 in New York assets at the time of his death. He had a $25,000 Toyota Prius and $20,000 in furniture and accessories. However, those amounts do not include the Brooklynn townhouse that he and Michelle shared, any cash in trust funds or any property he may have had in Australia.

An estate specialist said, "If [Ledger and Williams] had jointly held assets, those are not subject to probate. It's just not required."

Although there were no provisions for his ex fiance and his 2-year-old daughter Matilda, I'm quite certain that Heath's family will make sure they are taken care of.

Broken-hearted Michelle Williams puts on a brave face and is trying to get back to some sense of normalcy for not only herself, but for her young daughter Matilda. It's been just over a month since Heath Ledger passed away, leaving Michelle a single mom and sweet Matilda a girl who has to grow up without her daddy.

More pics after the jump

Michelle and Matilda Rose have been living in the Brooklyn brownstone after they returned from Australia following Heath's memorial. Williams and Ledger bought the brownstone together back in 2005 after the filming of Brokeback Mountain.

Williams has been left devastated by her former fiance's death and has cancelled several public appearances. She's obviously not ready to face the public yet. She seems to find some comfort in getting back to familiar surrondings and doing every day things with her daughter.

Michelle Williams: The Future is Uncertain

Karen — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:33:00 GMT

Yesterday Sassy wrote about Michelle Williams interview in Wonderland Magazine, an interview that was done BEFORE Heath Ledger's death in January. Today I bring you a few more quotes from the same interview, where Michelle talks about her future.

"Obviously so much has changed for me in the last few months that I don't really have an idea of what my life is going to be," Williams told the magazine.

"I thought I knew certain things and it turned out that I didn't, so I don't really try and anticipate so much anymore.

"I'm not making any bets on the future."Williams talked about how she has had to adjust since her breakup with Heath Ledger:

"There's been a lot going on in my personal life and part of me is ... I don't know. I shouldn't talk about it but it's like I'm re-emerging back into the world or something," she said.

One good thing that came from the breakup was the fact that she has been getting less attention from the paparazzi (until Heath's death).

"I have to say it's suddenly got a lot easier, like, in the last couple of months," she said.

"When you're in a relationship with somebody who is also a public personality then it doubles the attention from the media.

"When you minus that equation it's just less enticing. That's been a real bonus. It's the plus side of the break-up for me."

As for raising daughter Matilda on her own, "It's not easy," she said.

Williams said while working six days a week last year filming Incendiary with Ewan McGregor in London she made a special effort to ensure she and Matilda spent quality time together.

"My only days off were Sundays and as much as I'd want to pass out, I'd try to take her out somewhere fun so she didn't associate me with boredom," Williams said.

Michelle & Matilda - Beginning Life Without Heath

After an emotional and touching memorial to Heath Ledger at his favorite beach in Australia, his ex fiance and daughter make their way back home.

Michelle Williams and little girl Matilda, are back in the U.S. to begin their lives without Heath. Williams tells Matilda that "Daddy went away" in an effort to explain why the 2-year-old cannot see her daddy. Until she's older, she won't grasp the situation. Michelle will have to keep Heath's memory alive for her child and hopefully Matilda will realize how much she was loved by her father.

Michelle To Matilda: Daddy Went Away

Michelle Williams is mourning the loss of Heath Ledger, her ex fiance and father to her daughter. That also means she has to be both "mom" and "dad" to her little girl. Michelle will have to be strong during this difficult time and as Matilda gets older, she'll have lots of questions to answer. Right now, Matilda is only two and obviously not able to grasp the situation.

A friend to Williams said to Us Weekly, "Michelle was always really vulnerable, so this has shaken her quite a bit. She's mourning and trying to figure out what to do next."

"Michelle and the family are showering Matilda with love right now to cushion it so she isn't really aware. Michelle basically told Matilda, 'Daddy went away.' Matilda still doesn't grasp it."

Heath and Matilda were often seen walking around New York, Matilda perched on her daddy's shoulders. Sad that Heath's little girl will never experience that again.
