Heath Ledger Update
As reported earlier on this blog, Heath Ledger's will was drafted before he the birth of his daughter, Matilda, and left his estate to his parents and siblings.
According to Matilda Ledger's Guardian Angels, omg.yahoo.com, Aug. 19, 2008:
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!
