Heath Ledger's Daughter Gets VIP Gift
Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell are giving a gift to the late Heath Ledger's daughter: their paychecks!
The actors — who helped complete Heath's final movie project, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, by playing versions of the late actor's character — have donated their salaries from the film to Heath's daughter, Matilda. They decided to give the money to the two-year-old because Heath's will was created before the she was born and didn't include her.
"They didn't take money — it goes to Heath's daughter," Imaginarium director Terry Gilliam told Hollywood.com. "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."
Matilda has been having a busy summer traveling with her mother, Michelle Williams. The ladies were recently seen en route to Oregon with Michelle's new beau, Spike Jonze.

firstly, this indeed is a very generous thing the cast is doing for matilda,and we thank you, but to the people who are making comments about kim and sally not giving any money to matilda, bite your tongues. do you know nothing? heath's entire estate is being given to matilda via her grandparents, thank you. don't talk unless you know what you are talking about...
in loving memory of heath, and loving support of matilda <3 -- Anonymous

I think that was a really great thing they did by giving their money to Heath's(R.I.P.) daughter Matilda, cause she wasn't in the will.
