Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams is reportedly making a film about Heath Ledger to keep the memory of the actor alive for the couple's daughter, Matilda.
"It makes Michelle's heart ache that Matilda was so young when Heath died and she's unlikely to retain any memories of her father," a source told Australian Daily Telegraph. "She wants to keep his spirit alive with something Matilda can treasure all her life."
Williams reportedly plans to ask friends and co-workers to appear in the video, sharing stories of Ledger, who died of an accidental drug overdose in January.
Ledger's performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight," which opens nationwide July 18, is already garnering Oscar buzz from critics.
Williams and Ledger met on the set of "Brokeback Mountain" in 2004 and moved in together shortly afterwards. The two split in 2007, but seemed to keep a close relationship.
This really stinks. I used to see them around the neighborhood every once in a while as they live around the corner from my mom. What a tragedy. What a jerk. I hope A-rod
takes a lesson. But his hubris is just too great. Just like Ledger's. They think they will live forever. What a waste.

Hubris?
I really haven't heard much after the initial stories. What prompted his death? I mean, yeah, I know it was drugs, but that's not really enlightening....
Well he thought he could mix any cocktail of drugs and booze and he could walk it off. A lot of Aussie feel that way. You have to know your limitations. That only comes with experiance and making mistakes. He just made a mistake he couldn't come back from. If he had stayed home with his wife and kid he would have kept it more under control. The hubris is that you are young and healthy and invincible. That is a sure prescription for disaster. So to speak.
Was that what was going on?
I kind of got the impression from at least one place that he'd been Method acting the Joker.
That'd mess ya up.
Well he was a party boy at the Bars downtown and hanging with the young Hollywood crowd. It was more of a John Belushi thing ya know.
Oh. Well, that's just dumb.
Chris Farley dumb.
Abusing prescriptions right Trooper? Did a little doctor shopping too I bet?
I know it sounds mean to say it but he was a dumb bastard- he threw his life away - for what?
