This Girl Lost Her Star Dad at Only Two — He Didn’t Include Her in His Will, So His Co-stars Gave Up Money for Her

When this Hollywood star passed away, his daughter was devastated by his sudden absence. Tragically, she was also excluded from his will. Concerned for her welfare, three of his co-stars generously gave up their salaries for her.

This renowned actor was celebrated for his role as The Joker in “The Dark Knight,” among other notable performances in “Lords of Dogtown” and “I’m Not There.”

In 2004, while filming “Brokeback Mountain,” the actor met Michelle Williams. A year later, they welcomed their daughter, Matilda Rose. Despite their 2007 breakup, his love for Matilda remained unwavering.

Director Terry Gilliam recalled how the actor would carry his daughter in a backpack while discussing movies.

In 2008, the actor passed away in his New York apartment, leaving two-year-old Matilda to ask her mother, Michelle, heartbreaking questions about his absence.

During the filming of “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” after his death, Gilliam replaced him with Jude Law, Johnny Depp, and Colin Farrell. These actors, close friends of the star, donated their salaries to Matilda. The actor had not updated his will to include her.

Heath Ledger had left his estate to his parents and sisters. However, his father, Kim Ledger, announced the family would give everything to Matilda. This decision caused a rift between Kim and his brothers, who questioned his ability to manage the estate.

Now 17, Matilda bears a striking resemblance to her late father. Her grandfather Kim and aunt Kate Ledger see many of his traits in her. Michelle Williams has done an admirable job raising Matilda, keeping Ledger’s memory alive for his daughter.

Despite her parents’ fame, Matilda maintains a low profile, with public appearances mostly alongside her mother.
