Michelle Williams' father pays tribute to Heath

Following on reports that Heath Ledger's former fiancee Michelle Williams found out about his death after getting off a plane from America to Sweden, friends are now saying that Michelle is understandably utterly "devastated" by the news. Michelle’s father, Larry Williams, has paid tribute to Heath, saying: "I think 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. My heart goes out to everyone in his family and my family. The saddest thing is his daughter whom he just loved dearly." Michelle and Heath first got together when they met filming Brokeback Mountain, and later had their daughter, Matilda Rose in October 2005. Fellow Brokeback Mountain actor Jake Gyllenhaal is Matilda's godfather.

Kiefersgirl, maybe Heath, Amy, Pete and Britney dont/didnt care enough about themselves to get help?

tootles_svg, I understand what you are saying, but in order to take drugs you have to have enough low self esteem in order to put your body at risk to begin with. And why is it any different that Heath had a drug problem rather than Amy, Pete or Brit

Timberwolf ,Amy and Britney are lucky and privileged to have enough money in the bank to never have a worry in life. No, money can't buy happiness or love but it CAN buy the best rehab.I don't waste pity on them because they CHOOSE to live that way
