Matilda Rose Ledger Gets a Big Gift Mon, 18-Aug-2008 Hollywood heartthrobs Jude Law, Colin Farrell, and Johnny Depp have proven themselves to be not only talented, but also very generous.
According to press reports, Matilda Rose, daughter of actress Michelle Williams and the late Heath Ledger, has received a generous gift from her father’s co-workers and friends.
The actors helped complete Heath's final movie project, "The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus", by playing versions of Ledger’s character - then donating their salaries from the film to Matilda. Ledger’s will was made before Matilda was born and therefore she was not granted any of his assets.
"They didn't take money — it goes to Heath's daughter," Imaginarium director Terry Gilliam told the press. "That's extraordinary! And wonderful... and when you're part of that, you think, 'Ah, this is maybe why I went into the movies in the beginning. I thought it would be full of wonderful people.' And we've got a movie full of wonderful people who did extraordinary things to help." |
