Michelle Williams lost the father of her young daughter Matilda 10 months ago but the intense pain of loss is still very evident as she cries upon hearing Heath Ledger’s name in a recent Newsweek interview.
The couple had broken up before his death primarily due to Ledger’s problems with drugs. Not long after their break up Heath Ledger overdosed on a lethal combination of 6 prescription medications on January 22, 2008 at the age of 28.
The 28 year old actress told Newsweek that “grief is like a moving river” and “the more time that passes, the more you miss someone.”
Michelle Williams latest starring role is in the Independent film “Wendy and Lucy.” She is planning on taking a year off of work to devote her time to 3 year old daughter Matilda Rose while she begins school. Williams recently began dating 39 year old producer/director Spike Jonze. Jonze was once married to director Sofia Coppola but divorced in 2003.
