This Girl Lost Her Star Dad at Only Two — He Didn’t Include Her in His Will, So His Co-stars Gave Up Money for Her

When this Hollywood star breathed his last, his daughter was devastated as she could not find him. But his presence was not the only thing she would miss out on. The actor had not included her in his will. Worried about her welfare, three of the actor’s costars gave up their salaries for her.

This celebrated star was well recognized for playing The Joker, a psychopathic criminal mastermind with a warped sense of humor, in the superhero film “The Dark Knight.” In addition, the actor played many other roles, including in “Lords of Dogtown” and “I’m Not There.”

In 2004, during the filming of “Brokeback Mountain,” the actor met and fell in love with Michelle Williams. A year later, they welcomed their baby girl, Matilda Rose. Unfortunately, in 2007, the pair broke up, but the actor’s love for his daughter remained as strong as ever.

Director Terry Gilliam would say that the actor would put his daughter in his backpack, get in the tube, and go to his house to talk about a movie they were working on.
