Heath Ledger's Daughter Gets His Oscar

Brett Singer — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:50:00 GMT

Heath Ledger won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for playing The Joker in 'The Dark Knight.' It's well-deserved, and personally I think he would have won even without the sentimental vote.

Heath's family – his father Kim, mother Sally and sister Kate -- accepted on his behalf and all three gave an amazingly calm and classy speech, pointing out that his daughter Matilda is the one who will get the golden statuette: "We really wish you were here, but we proudly accept this award on behalf of your beautiful Matilda." Michelle Williams will keep it for her until Matilda turns 18. If Heath and Michelle had been married, it would have gone to her. Executive Director of the Academy Bruce Davis said, "I don't think we have ever had a situation like this."

It's all very sad, but Heath's mother said, "Tonight, we are choosing to celebrate and be happy for what he has achieved," so I'm going to go with that. Congratulations, dude.

1979-Heath Ledger was born in the beachfront town of Perth, Australia. His dad Kim, was an engineer who designed race cars. His mother, Sally was a French teacher. His parents divorced when he was just 11-years-old. Heath, who shuffled between his two parents' homes, was also active in community theater. He told Rolling Stone in 2006: "It set me up for this bohemian life I've been leading. I feel like I've been traveling with the same bag since I was 11."

A look back after the jump

1995- Heath, then 16, leaves home for Sydney, where he appeared in the Aussie TV program Sweat. He makes his film debut in Blackrock and is also featured in Roar - a warrior drama, which also costarred Keri Russell. Heath said: "It started off quite dignified and Braveheart-esque. But as they got desperate for ratings, slowly no one's wearing clothes." Heath also began dating costar Lisa Zane, who was 18 years older than he.

1998- Ledger goes to Hollywood and snags the lead in 10 Things I Hate About You, costarring Julia Stiles. The movie brings in more than $50 million, but Heath is unhappy being labeled a heartthrob. He told the Houston Chronicle: "I was a young kid from Australia, and that was the only movie someone was willing to put me in, so what do you do? You've got to start somewhere. I just didn't want to stay there." He subsequently turned down teen films over the next year.

2000- Heath plays Mel Gibson's son in the Revolutionary War drama The Patriot. The movie does well, bringing in $113 million and the young actor is critically acclaimed. Rolling Stone writes: "The Aussie newcomer has the talent and looks to become a major star." Heath is featured on the cover of August's Vanity Fair titled, "We're Havin' A Heath Wave." Heath began Heather Graham and they broke up in June 2001.

2001- Ledger was named one of PEOPLE's 50 Most Beautiful. He stars in A Knight's Tale which does well - bringing in $117 million. Director Brian Helgeland tells Vanity Fair: "Once every 50 years, a guy like [Heath] comes along." Isn't that the truth?!

2001-2003- Heath may have done a lot of great movies, but even he had a series of bombs, including Ned Kelly, costarring Orlando Bloom. The movie earned only $84,625 in the U.S. He tells Rolling Stone: "I wanted to take the blond out of my career, kill the direction it was going in. Whether consciously or unconsciously, I perfectly sabotaged any studio interest in working with me." He began dating his Ned Kelly costar, Naomi Watts. The couple were together off and on for two years. He had a dark period as well - playing Billy Bob Thornton's suicidal son in Monster's Ball.

2004- Heath signs on to star in the much talked about movie, Brokeback Mountain, also referred to as "The Gay Cowboy movie." Ledger told Rolling Stone: "My biggest anxiety wasn't having to kiss Jake. It was the perfect script and Ang Lee was the perfect director. So the anxiety for me was - I didn't want to be the one to f**k it up." Heath fell for his costar, Michelle Williams on day one of shooting. He said: "On the 5th take, Michelle and I [are] tobogganing down the hill..." "And Michelle...twisted her knee - she was pretty much on crutches for the rest of the shoot. And I felt I always had to look after her after that." In May, Heath and Michelle announce that they are expecting a baby. The pregnancy is a surprise to both. Heath told Rolling Stone: "Our bodies definately made those decisions for us." The couple move into a brownstone in Brooklyn and begin "nesting."

2005-Michelle gives birth to Matilda Rose. Heath seems to take to fatherhood immediately. "I'm Mr. Mom. I get [Michelle] granola and cook her an egg, I clean the dishes, and then I'm cooking lunch. Later, I go out to the market and get fresh produce for dinner. And I love it! I love my new job."

It was so sad writing about this, his life over the years. I just keep picturing his daughter and her wondering where he daddy has gone to. Rest in peace, Heath, rest in peace.

She's gonna do it! Give her any chance, she’ll take it. Give her any rule, she’ll break it. She’s gonna make her dreams come true. Doin’ it her way.

Michelle Williams was seen in ~~Milwaukee~~ the West Village with Matilda. This is the new, free Michelle Williams. You can tell by the spunk in her latest hair color. She just wants to take Matilda in her arm and skip down the street singing, "Schlemiel, schlimazel, hasenpfeffer incorporated!"

Of course, you know what this means:

Are Modern Parents the "New Victorians"?

Rachael Brownell (Redsy) — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 16:59:00 GMT

Are modern parents forsaking nightlife and dinner parties for Venti Chai Tea Lattes and long walks with bebe in a Bugaboo stroller? Or is pregnant and anorexic (a la Nicole Richie) the new healthy?

Gawker weighs the possibility that the young, beautiful, parenting, sometime celebrity urban parents are worshipful of hearth and home like New Victorians.

Apparently, some (non celeb) types are trying to grow up, cook some healthy food and put aside the party for some serious childrearing. So what do you think? Are young parents today more home-oriented than prior generations?
