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.

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.

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……

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.

However, despite the fact that Heath’s parents and siblings will inherit everything, they have insisted that young Matilda would not be ignored.

Kim Ledger, Heath’s father, said in a statement yesterday: “Matilda is our absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family… They will be taken care of and that’s how Heath would want it to be.”

Heath Ledger’s former fiance, Michelle Williams, arrived in Perth, Australia yesterday with daughter Matilda, ahead of a private funeral which is set to take place this Saturday in the late actor’s hometown.

Michelle wore a black dress and dark sunglasses as she and her young daughter exited the plane, ascorted by more than five police officers and security guards.

Williams then travelled to Heath’s mother’s house, where she is rumoured to be staying. Several wreaths were laid at the home’s entrance in remembrance of Heath’s short life, as well as a covered casserole dish left by Kim Ledger’s new wife, Ines.

Grieving actress Michelle Williams has put her career on hold, as she and young daughter Matilda come to terms with Heath Ledger’s death.

Williams, the former fiance of the late Australian actor, has put her latest movie, Blue Valentine, on hold.

A source from the film set told People.com: “We will hold off until she is ready.

“The production is in the process of sorting it out in respect to her.”

“We’re hoping she will still come back and do the film and are happy to wait,” the source added. “The film is tailor-made for [Williams] so of course we would want to wait. You can’t get much better than [her].”

The film also stars Ryan Gosling (of The Notebook fame), and tells the tale of a young married couple struggling to keep their relationship together.

Since Australian actor Heath Ledger’s shock death on January 22, his former fiance, Michelle Williams, has hidden from the limelight while she tries to come to terms with the tragic loss. The Brokeback Mountain star broke her silence today, however, telling the media through Ledger’s rep that she is “heartbroken” after hearing of his passing.

“Please respect our need to grieve privately” Williams said. “My heart is broken.”

She continues: “I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father,” Williams continued in her statement.

“All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day.

“His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still.

Williams concluded: “She will be brought up with the best memories of him.”

According to a source on the Swedish set of Michelle’s new movie, Mammoth, when the actress first heard the news of Heath’s untimely death, “she cried and screamed.”

A devastated Michelle Williams has just arrived home in New York from a film set in Sweden with her daughter, Matilda, after receiving word of former fiance Heath Ledger’s death yesterday.

Williams arrived at her Brooklyn home Wednesday night, after a stop over in Ladnvetter Airport in Gothenburg, Sweden.

A source told People.com: “I can’t believe Matilda is going to grow up without a dad, without knowing her father. And that Michelle will have to deal with having a daughter who’s lost her father. She’s a survivor. She’ll make it, but it’s going to be hard. Her first concern is going to be Matilda.”

US Magazine reports that Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have split.

The couple apparently split a few weeks ago after a recent rocky period. They tried to make it work, but had grown apart.

The couple met on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2005 and have a daughter, Mathilda, 23 months.

Not sure if this recent story had any relevance on the split….
