Michelle Williams Planning a Heath Ledger Movie

Michelle Williams, the former partner of the late Australian actor Heath Ledger, is making a movie about his life so that their two-year-old daughter, Matilda, can see what her father was really like.

The actress wants Ledger’s friends and co-stars to “share their stories on him” so that young Matilda can get to know her father “through their eyes.”

A source revealed: “This is incredibly important for Michelle to do. It makes Michelle’s heart ache that Matilda was so young when Heath died and she’s unlikely to retain any memories of her father.

“She wants to keep his spirit alive with something Matilda can treasure all her life.”

Michelle first met Heath on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2004 when they played a married couple, a role they came so close to imitating in real life. They parted ways in September 2007.

Feud Over Heath’s Will

Looks like the dust is far from settled over Heath Ledger’s will.

Despite claiming that Matilda will be taken care of, there is a concern that Heath’s father, Kim, has no intention of looking after his grand daughter.

Heath’s mother, father and other family members are flying to the US for the “Dark Knight” premiere on July 14, as a kind of public tribute for Heath.

Michelle Williams however, may not be there. She is furious over the lack of dealings she has had with Kim over Matilda’s claims to Heath’s will.

“Michelle is furious with Heath’s family and threatening to boycott the premiere. Matilda is supposed to be the beneficiary of the will, but Michelle has seen nothing from them. Heath didn’t have much in cash, but there was a big house in LA and a back-end deal for ‘Dark Knight’ [that] could reap millions.”

Ledger’s will was written in 2003, prior to the birth of Matilda. In the will, Heath left everything to his father, mother and sisters. Matilda is now considered the beneficiary, with Kim acting as the executor.

Williams is concerned that there will be nothing left by the time Matilda turns 18.

Going on Kim’s reported total mismanagement of his own father’s estate, these concerns may be well founded. He reportedly lost millions while managing that and is still at odds with his brothers over the mater.

Sounds like she can kiss the money goodbye.

Heath Ledger’s Ghost Haunts Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams claims that she is being haunted by Heath Ledger’s ghost, saying he has visited her twice as a shadowy apparition.

The first time, she was woken at night after hearing furniture move.

In another ‘visitation’, she said he apologised to her for not being there to help raise their two-year-old daughter, Matilda.

Good to know it’s not just me……

Heath’s Dad Says, “Matilda Will Be Taken Care Of”

ÂÂ

The will of the late actor, Heath Ledger, has been released to the press, and his daughter Matilda Rose and former partner Michelle Williams aren’t in it!

According the Ledger family, the will was last finalised in 2003, before Heath had started his relationship with Williams and fathered young Matilda. It was never revised to include either of them, and Heath’s shock passing from an accidental drug overdose in January means that neither Matilda or her mother Michelle will receive any of his assets.
