Generous coworkers
August 20, 2008
Though I don’t generally follow celebrity news, this headline caught my eye: Matilda Ledger’s Guardian Angels.
Apparently Heath Ledger never updated his will to include his daughter. I’m wondering who the beneficiary of his will was and whether or not they stepped up to do what I’d think would be the right thing: set up some sort of trust for Matilda. In the absence of that information, though, his costars certainly made a grand gesture:
As most of you probably know, Heath was filming Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” at the time of his death. Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell stepped in to complete Heath’s role, playing different versions of his character “Tim.”When the three actors learned that Ledger’s will had not been updated to include his daughter, the generous trio decided to donate all the money they earned from the film to little Matilda!
I hope someone responsible and truly looking out for Matilda’s best interests makes rational and reasonable arrangements on her behalf.
