Vanity Fair: The Last Days of Heath
Submitted by admin on June 29, 2009 - 5:47pm
In the days leading up to his death, Heath Ledger battled chronic insomnia, pneumonia and exhaustion, according to reports in the August issue of Vanity Fair, on sale July 7.
Apparently, one of the biggest struggles in Ledger's life was his deteriorating relationship with partner Michelle Williams.
"Heath was always blaming himself [about the relationship], asking 'what did I do wrong?'" says Ledger's friend and mentor, director Terry Gilliam. He was overwhelmed by lawyers, and there were more and more of them, as if they were breeding."
Cinematographer Nicola Pecorini, who was working with Heath on his final film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, says Heath had taken himself off illicit drugs and alcohol.

Submitted by admin on September 29, 2008 - 6:23am
Heath Ledger's family has decided to donate his entire estate to the late actor's daughter, Matilda Rose.
Two years before his little girl was born Ledger signed a will leaving his fortune to his parents and sisters. But Ledger's father, Kim, says they have decided that all the money should all go to 2-year-old Matilda. He tells People Magazine, that was the plan "from the moment my boy passed away."
"There was never any question about the fact that Heath's estate would go to Matilda," he says, confirming a report in Australia's Sunday Times. "Never a question. We are very close to Michelle and Matilda."

Mary-Kate Off the Hook for Drug Inquiry
Submitted by admin on August 6, 2008 - 5:38pm
There will be no pursuit into how Heath Ledger obtained the powerful painkillers that contributed to his overdose death this year. Prosecutors in Manhattan had been overseeing a Drug Enforcement Administration probe into whether the painkillers found in Ledger's system were obtained illegally. But the prosecutors have bowed out "because they don't believe there's a viable target."
The decision comes after recent reports that actress Mary-Kate Olsen was demanding immunity before answering questions about the startling death of her close friend and his drug use. The DEA had obtained a subpoena that could have forced Olsen if she continued to hold out. But the subpoena, issued in April, is no longer valid because it was contingent upon prosecutors pursuing the case, the official said Wednesday. The official added that the case could still be revived if evidence of a crime emerges.

Though Mary-Kate Olsen wants to stay quiet about Heath Ledger's death, the feds may not let her off the hook. Apparently, Mary-Kate is refusing to let federal investigators interview her regarding Heath's drug overdose... unless they grant her immunity from prosecution.
Why would she want immunity unless she's done something wrong?
