NICE GUYS "In an act of kindness, actors Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell have donated the money they made for completing Heath Ledger's final film role to the late actor's daughter Matilda … The three actors played versions of Ledger's character, 'Tim,' in the film 'The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.' The stars were reportedly concerned with the fate of Matilda's future because Ledger had not updated his will at the time of his death to include his two-year-old daughter in it. So, they decided the money they made for filming should go to her … "

That's weird because it assumes that her mother is just middle class…

I think that this gives the kid real potential to become a grateful and good human being instead of a transparent plastic baggie full of issues..

Michelle Williams isn't exactly an A or even B list actor. If she was smart she would have put some money aside, but who knows. The big problem is Ledger's father is in charge or his estate, and he seems more interested in keeping most of the money than taking care of his grand daughter.

Hats off to Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell. No one would have given it a second thought if they cashed the checks and went on to the next movie. That was a nice thing they did.

That is really sweet. But… I really wish they would have donated to a good charity instead. Matilda is very, very well-off.

No. 8 Star Pupil says:

I think it's lovely. They were obviously friends, and must know the situation with Heath's family isn't good. They can do whatever they like with their money. I do think it would've been classier if their people hadn't announced it to the press, though.

No. 9 Sarah says:

I agree, but isn't narcissicm like the number one things all actors have in common? A thing doesn't exist until it's announced to the press.

No. 10 Sarah says:

I say that with love. I've made my peace with narcissism in famous people. The internets wouldn't be as much fun it weren't for them. Narcissism doesn't make them bad people.

ilnazhad: It's possible that with examples like this in her life she might grow up to be a charitable human being, and that's worth a lot to the world in general.
