Heath and Matilda Left Footprints in Brooklyn

Heath Ledger left something more than just the impact he made on those he met and those he touched through film - he and his daughter, Matilda, left their footprints in concrete.

The 28-year-old actor and his two-year-old daughter stamped their feet in wet concrete in Brooklyn, close to where they lived.

It is so touching to know that Matty has a physical thing she can see and know that her father loved her.
Poor poor little girl :-(

This I wrote 1:00 p.m. Wednesday 23rd:


Only a few hours ago I learned about the death of Heath Ledger. It made me very… It was as if big void was inside me, a part of my life evaporated into thin air.

I tried to feel. Tears didn’t come, although I felt them in the distance. I had no other feelings for him than he was one of the most brilliant actors I had ever encounterd on the screen. And that he was the buddy whose fantastic sensibility made the co-action in the scenes with Jake into [one] of the movie history’s most memorable moments.

The career of Jake cannot be seperated from that of Heath, and vice versa. The earnestness they have been showing in choosing the right films to make since the shooting of BBM has made an impression on millions of moviegoers.

Already in BBM you could see that he was the one whose sadness sat deeper inside not only in the character but also in the person who played it. I believe Jake had it easier to go in and out of characters. With same extraordinary good performance that hit your heart as a viewer, I have to underline that. But I think Heath took it harder.

Thus the divorce from Michelle Williams did make me sad, but I was not so surprised.

Also the role as Joker in TDK.: well, I nearly trembled when I saw those fantastic clips with him. He really was the saddest of them all Jokers ever made, and the meanest and the most frightening.

I believe that whatever took him down, I do believe that he wanted to make this role so god so badly that he overlooked his own health, as beeing less important that the part he played.

The circle of the most serious movie actors Hollywood has seen for decades has been broken. None of them will ever be the same from now on. Yes, we think about his little daughter, and her mother. And the total shock and the long period of thinking and mourning for all those fantastic actors.

But most of all we think of Jake, what will happen to him now?

One commentator has made a comparsion with the dead of James Dean. It is very appropriate. But what frightens me is that the James Dean of today has not been Heath by himself. His fate is in soul and mind of millions forever linked with Jake. And perhaps that is the way Jake is feeling too.

Have that in your mind and think. Think about how you treat your fellow man and woman. And speak and act, gently.

May Heath Ledger rest in peace!

Herman

I agree with you up there. The rolled up $20 bill is not suspicious…its stuuupid. you have all seen how fidgety and nervous he is, he probably rolled it up when he was on the phone or something! he could have gotten paper if he wanted. and who cares how he died. thats not even what matters. what a shame, amazing guy .

I am a little disappointed with the staff at extra, I watch your show everyday because i believe in the truth. Iam disturbed by the drug and suicide accusations regarding your story on heaths death. i worked on the set of ten things i hate about you as an extra and enjoyed Heath very much. Heath had a wonderful sence of humor and was always up and cheerful. I will miss heath gratelly he is one hell of an actor and was very sincere. Iam asking that you PLEASE respect his family and especially his young daughter as they are mourning their loss. Please focus on that damn Brittney trash her all you want but RESPECT HEATH.
