Michelle Williams' Family Squabble With Ledgers Over Heath's Will

HerBadMother — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:31:00 GMT

It was bound to get ugly eventually, wasn't it? It always does. I mean, did anyone really believe that it was going to be enough for Heath's family to just say that 'Michelle and Matilda will be taken care of' and then march away with his entire estate?

Michelle's dad sure didn't. He's accusing the Ledger family - Ledger's dad, Kim, specifically - with concealing the extent of Heath's assets.

According to TMZ:

Michelle Williams' dad has leveled an extraordinary challenge at Kim Ledger, Heath's dad, demanding that he account for all of the late actor's assets.

Larry Williams, a famed futures trader, tells Australia's Sunday Telegraph that he thinks Kim and family "certainly haven't stated all of the assets" belonging to Heath when he died in January. Larry is "perplexed" that docs filed in a New York court said that Heath had only $145,000 in assets when he died.

"It's real simple," said Larry. "Just come clean with everything. He just has to say where the income went and where the assets were."

Which, yuck. On all counts. Yuck for the Ledgers to be at all non-disclosey about Heath's estate, when the future of his daughter is at stake. And yuck for the Williams to be publicly calling them on this. NOT going to be good for the mood at future family barbeques.

Production On Heath Ledger's Last Movie Shut Down

HerBadMother — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 23:29:00 GMT

The movie that Heath Ledger was filming at the time of his death - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - has shut down production. Word is that everyone working on the film has been let go and sent home.

A source told Us Magazine that everyone had been fired hours after Heath's death:

“I just got the call [Tuesday] saying everyone was being let go,” the on-set source tells Usmagazine.com. “We were supposed to start this weekend, but obviously they fired everyone today.

“They don’t know yet what they are doing with the footage that was already shot,” the source adds.

Ledger was on a break from filming when he died Tuesday. Shooting had begun in London last December. He was last photographed on set Jan. 19.

“Right now, everyone is in complete shock and can’t even speak,” the on-set source says.

What a shame. Understandable if it was necessary, but still: from the on-set photos - above and here - it looked like Heath was loving his role in that film, and that it was going to be good.

Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda Rose are on their way to New York from Stockholm. "Going home" never seemed so sad. TMZ reports:

We're told that Michelle and Matilda went to nearby Gothenburg to board a flight to New York. Michelle's mother and sister are currently in Brooklyn and were joined there by Matilda's godmother, "Dawson's Creek" actress Busy Philipps.

Look at that sweet little girl...she looks just like Heath.

Get Out Your Hankies: The Memorial That Heath Left For Matilda

HerBadMother — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 20:40:00 GMT

Damn it if this didn't cause the barely-contained dam of tears to burst: Heath Ledger left a little footprint memorial in Brooklyn for daughter Matilda.

People magazine spoke to a neighbor who was familiar with the "family secret":

Roger Lang, who lived across the street from Ledger and Michelle Williams during the then-couple's time in Brooklyn, tells PEOPLE it was Ledger who put the markings in wet cement near the fire hydrant in front of their house. "The Matilda thing in the sidewalk with the footprints, he did that about two years ago," Lang says. "It was a secret. It was a fun thing. He did it as a surprise for his family."

The 2-year-old's name is perpendicular to the word HUGO, which is the name of a neighbor's dog. On Wednesday some carnations wrapped in plastic were placed near the spot.

Adds Lang: "He was full of life. He'd call my father Matey. 'Hi Matey.' Because he was in World War II. They're great people and it's very tragic. They loved Brooklyn. They wanted to be a part of the neighborhood."

I've got no words for this. No adequate words, anyway.

Michelle Williams' Family: Heath Has Left Them Broken-Hearted

HerBadMother — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:31:00 GMT

Michelle William's father has told Australia's The Daily Telegraph that Heath's death has left their entire family broken-hearted:

“I think [poet] Tennyson got it right in the poem when he described someone as having died at a young age but burning the candles at both ends, and oh what a beautiful flame he made, that was Heath, what a beautiful flame he made and a great talent," said Larry Williams.

“My heart goes out to everyone in his family and my family. The saddest thing is his 2-year-old daughter whom he just loved dearly.”

Heartbreaking indeed.
