Michelle Williams’ Family: Heath Was a Beautiful Flame
Michelle Williams‘ father Larry told Australia’s The Daily Telegraph that Heath Ledger’s death has left his family broken hearted.
Mr. Williams said, “I think [poet] 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 2-year-old daughter [Matilda] whom he just loved dearly.”

I feel so bad for his daughter, she is going to find out something is wrong, why her daddy never come to see her again.>
Прощай, Хит.
The poor little girl! She is too young to understand.
I hope the paparazzi will leave Michelle alone. It’s going to be incredibly dificult for her.
My heart goes out to his loved ones
so sad:(
rest in peace
i feel very sad…
i feel very sad…
I really feel sad about this tragedy. He was one of my favourite actors. My heartfelt condolence to his family. It is so sad that his little girl whom he loved so much would never see him again. Hollywood lost a great talent.
Such a loss! I still remember and will always remember his wonderful performance in The Four Feathers. It is one of my favourite films and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody who hasn’t seen it yet! It is the story of a young man in Victorian England, who is an officer but refuses to go to war in Africa. His father, who is an important general, disowns him; his officer friends ostracize him and his fiancee eventually leaves him for one of them. Heath’s character follows them to Africa in secret and saves their lives. The scene where he tells his African friend (Djimon Hounsou) that he will go to prison as a prisoner to try and save one of his friends is one of my favourites and Hounsou’s reply “You are a fool … my friend” always brings tears to my eyes. Excellent!
As I said, I wholeheartedly recommend! It’s so interesting that Heath’s high-quality movies outnumber those of many older actors in the business, though he had such a short life-span. He will no doubt remain in the history of cinema as a very bright, permanent light. Another title that comes to mind is Brokeback Mountain. So much quality in such a short time!
I am so sad and my heartfelt condolences go out to Heath’s family. A beautiful and talented actor from Australia will be sadly missed from fans around the world. Heath was also one of my favourite actors.
this is very sad day. I have cried alot and still feel like crying I cant believe he is gone and I will never see him staring in a new movie. He was one of the great actors of my generation and one of my favorite
Heat :( we love you
I cannot believe it. I just came home and saw the news. I’m devastated! How can Heath Ledger be dead? He was so young, omg.
May Heath Ledger rest in peace.
My condolences to his family and friends.
oh my god, that is so sad…
PEOPLE STOP TAKING PILLS FOR EVERYTHING.THERE ARE METHODS MUCH BETTER.
GOD BLESS HIM AND TAKE CARE OF HIS SOUL
definitely still feel a bit unbelievable
i’m so sorry… :( i love uu.. (K) :S:S
what does that teach you folks? simply that we enver never know when our last day will be…so make love not war, and enjoy life to the fullest…
RIP Heath
From a Perth fan
