August 21, 2008 Matilda Ledger Is Getting That Money!

Here is an example of reaping what you sow. After finding out that Heath Ledger (who died too young) didn’t revise his will to include his daughter Matilda, the other leading actors in Heath’s last film decided to donate their paycheck/fee to his baby girl. Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law replaced Heath after they heard of his death in their new upcoming movie Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

“The great thing about it was when Heath died those three actors came along and saved the day. It’s now four actors creating one character. The three actors were totally heroic coming in because this doesn’t happen very often, where there is a tragedy and very famous and successful actors come in and say OK we’ll do whatever it takes to help. To be part of that is wonderful.” Contact Music

Love muffins, remember what you put out in the world will come back to you. So make you take the time out to treat people how you want to be treated. Thoughts?

    That’s such a beautiful, selfless thing of them to do! There are still some good people in Hollywood

  • i read this on another site yesterday & it brought tears to my eyes. The world gets so crazy that you forget there are still people who care. This is such a wonderful thing for them to do for her. Amazing

  • I am sure the Will can be protested since she is his living heir . . .additionally, the actors that donated monies . . .kudos to them.

  • So who did he leave his money to and are they not willing to share it with Little Miss Matilda?

  • What a great gesture.
