Profession
Matilda Ledger grew up as a star child under the prying eyes of the paparazzi. Her father died unexpectedly when she was two, but that didn’t help her mother from keeping her from the media. She was especially caught up in all the rumors and suspicions surrounding her father’s death because of her place in his will.
However, shortly after Heath Ledger’s death, her mother pleaded with the media to give them some privacy to grieve and to avoid the spotlight as much as possible. Interestingly, she has been in the tabloids frequently over the past few years because of her resemblance to her late father.
Michelle Williams released a statement after Heath Ledger’s death, saying that Matilda Ledger was the spitting image of her father. Heath Ledger’s sister, Kate Ledger, talked about his life in the documentary and said that everything Matilda did, the way she skated… reminded her of Heath Ledger.
Even ten years after her father’s death, the media still praised how much Heath Ledger resembled 18-year-old Matilda Ledger.
Personal life
On January 22, 2008, Matilda Ledger’s father died of an overdose of prescription drugs for a variety of medical conditions. He and Michelle Williams had split amicably and there was no romantic relationship between them at the time of his death. Matilda’s name means “militant rose”.
Her godparents are Busy Philipps, who starred with Heath Ledger in the film Dawson’s Creek in 2001, and Jake Gyllenhaal, who was Michelle Williams’ co-star in Brokeback Mountain.
Matilda Ledger is not married yet and does not have a boyfriend currently.
Father’s Lullaby
Matilda Ledger’s father, who was a talented actor, was also passionate about photography, chess and music. He co-founded the Masses Music record label with American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ben Harper.
A month before his daughter was born, the father gave a grand piano to his lifelong friend and partner, Ben Harper, and asked him to write a lullaby to sing to his daughter when she was born. The song, “Happy Ever After In Your Eyes,” is narrated from the perspective of a devoted father and effectively expresses his love for his young daughter.
Ben Harper shared this information in the 2017 documentary, I Am Heath Ledger.
She will reportedly be allowed to watch the documentary when her mother, Michelle Williams, agrees to the work of executive producer Matt Amato. According to Amato, when Matilda Ledger was 11 years old, she developed a keen interest in her late father.
