Actors Give Movie Earnings to Ledger's Daughter
 

The late Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda was spotted skipping along the streets of NYC yesterday with her mom Michelle Williams in the cutest pink sundress. Every time I see a photo of the 2-year-old I can't believe how much she looks like her dad. He definitely lives on through her.

As most of you probably know, Heath was filming Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" at the time of his death. Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell stepped in to complete Heath's role, playing different versions of his character "Tim."

When the three actors learned that Ledger's will had not been updated to include his daughter, the generous trio decided to donate all the money they earned from the film to little Matilda!

It's good to know that there are a few nice guys in Hollywood.

Pretty cool, I'd say.

Impressive. Good on them.

*now respects those 3 actors more now more than ever*

Wow... that is TRULY noble. You couldn't say that about a Lot of actors these days... More power to those guys. :)

Wow. That's probably one of the nicest things I've heard all week. That is very kind of them. :)

I actually have a reason to respect Jude Law now, and I've another reason to respect Johnny and Farrell.

See, in a world where celebrity news is full of who's been arrested, and who's going to rehab for the eleven-billionth time, THIS is what we need to balance the forces.

aww and I thought finishing the film was sweet, that is really something.
I am pretty interested in seeing The Imaginarium

I guess Jude and Colin need some good press so they can start being in movies again.

Nice thing nonetheless.

Stryker has a point. Truly noble acts of charity usually remain anonymous and don't leak to the press like that.

I hear the movie's going to be hard to sell.

So isn't a lot of stuff Terry Gilliam's been doing lately. Brothers Grimm tanked, right?

But this is just nice to hear. They really felt that this was an oppetrunity to give back. I wonder if WB has done anything for Ledger's survivors with the Batman film....

That's nice of the actors. Wonder what the people who are the recipiants of Heath's actual will are thinking about this, and if they are going to help, or just be plain selfish.

One thing though, seeing that photo of mom and daughter. She's actually two years old? She's either very tall or Michelle Williams is kind of short, or a combination of both.

AFAIR, Heath's father has already publicly stated they're going to take a good care of her.

She's their family, after all.

^I don't exactly go around the internet and watch E Television 24/7 to find out what celebrities and their families, and friends of those families and etc are doing. And I live in a world where it's everyone for themselves, so it's easy for me to expect the worst in people.

I'm pretty sure I read that thing about his father here on the Drome, Ms. Highhorse.

Life must be hard on the streets of Florida.

Depends where you go. One could get killed in broad day light on Broadway BLVD, or Tamarind Ave in W.P.B. And South Beach, Miami ,is not exactly the place of Saints.

But it's nice to hear that Heath Ledger's father is going to step up to the plate and help his Grand Daughter.
