The Latest News for Michelle Williams & Heath Ledger
Michelle Williams: Matilda Reminds Me Of Heath Everday
More than a year after his tragic death, Michelle Williams opens up about losing Heath Ledger.
“I didn’t know what my boundaries were for a long time, which made interviews feel very unsafe,” Michelle, 29, shared in Vogue’s October issue (on newsstands now) about Heath, who died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 28 in January 2008.
She added: “I can talk about grief because that’s mine, about single parenting, about trying to balance work and kids. But what I don’t have to talk about is what happened between Heath and me in our relationship.”
Michelle and Heath, who met while filming Brokeback Mountain, dated for three years before they amicably split in August 2007. They had a daughter, Matilda Rose, 3.
“Brokeback Mountain was an unrepeatable moment in time, a very charmed time in my life,” she told Vogue. “I was in love. I was in a movie I was proud to be a part of, and with a beautiful brand-new baby. Everything was good in that moment.”
When he died, she struggled to cope.
“I was holding it together by a string and a paper clip in the fall and winter,” she said. “I didn’t know if I could keep it all together… You console yourself by saying it’s all a deepening process. But it’s wired. After the first year, the pain is less intense — it’s less immediate. But the magical thinking goes away too. And that’s a whole new reckoning.”
Still, Matilda provided her strength.
“Every time I really miss him and wonder where he’s gone, I just look at her,” she said.
In July 2008, she began dating director Spike Jonze but admits it hasn’t been easy.
“I thought falling in love again was the only thing that was going to save me from the pain,” she lamented. “This erroneous idea: It just makes things more complicated.”
Of the future, she said: “I feel hopeful and grateful. For a while I thought we had lost everything. It makes you want to love better and live better.”

(In the above pic, from left, are Heath’s mother Sally Bell, father Kim Ledger, and sister Kate Ledger arriving at the 81st Academy Awards)
Heath Ledger won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight at Sunday’s Academy Awards.
His father, Kim Ledger; mother, Sally Bell, and sister, Kate Ledger, accepted the award on his behalf.
“I have to say this is ever so humbling, being amongst such wonderful people,” Kim said. “I’d like to thank the Academy for recognizing our son’s amazing work.” He also thanked Knight director Christopher Nolan for allowing Heath “the creative license to develop and explore this crazy Joker character,” as well as Ledger’s longtime pal and agent, Steve Alexander.
Added Kim, “This award tonight would have humbly validated Heath’s quiet determination to be truly accepted by you all here, his peers, within an industry he so loved.”
His mother Sally Bell went on to say that Heath, who died a year ago at age 28 of a prescription drug overdose, was “such a compassionate and generous soul” who added so much to people’s lives.
She added, “Tonight, we are choosing to celebrate and be happy with what he has achieved.”
His sister Kate told the audience that Heath had talked about attending the Oscars for the Joker before his untimely death.
She said, “We proudly accept this award on behalf of your beautiful daughter Matilda.”
