Heath Ledger’s Dark Knight Co-stars Donate Their Pay To His Daughter

Heath Ledger’s Dark Knight Co-stars Donate Their Pay To His Daughter
THE three stars who completed Heath Ledger’s final film role have donated their pay to his two-year-old daughter.
Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell were worried for Matilda’s future as Heath left an old will which did not include the girl.

They played versions of his character Tim in fantasy epic The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus.

Director Terry Gilliam, 67, said: “They didn’t take money — it goes to Heath’s daughter.

“That’s extraordinary! And wonderful . . . and when you’re part of that, you think, ‘Ah, this is maybe why I went into the movies in the beginning. I thought it would be full of wonderful people.’

“And we’ve got a movie full of wonderful people who did extraordinary things to help.”

Heath, 28, star of Batman: The Dark Knight, died in his New York flat in January from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
