Few women in Hollywood tug at our heartstrings the way Michelle Williams does. The actress, who lost partner Heath Ledger nearly a year ago and is now left to raise her daughter on her own, doesn't ask for attention and seems to be one of the few genuinely good people left in the business. Her grief is tragic, and she still brings tears to our eyes when discussing her love:

Williams is jovial and chatty, until the conversation turns to Heath. You can see it's still difficult for her to talk about him, and she hasn't done so publicly until now. The first time Ledger's name comes up, she bursts into tears. 'It's so sad,' Williams says. When she's asked about how she's been doing in the past year, she's silent for a very long time. 'I guess it's always changing,' she says. There's another pause. 'What else can I say?' Her voice is breathy and fragile, and she takes a few gulps of air. 'I just wake up each day in a slightly different place—grief is like a moving river, so that's what I mean by "it's always changing."' She stops again. 'It's a strange thing to say'—her words unravel slowly, her eyes tear up—'because I'm at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It's just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone. In some ways it gets worse. That's what I would say.'

In related news, the bar in which Heath invested before he passed finally opened about a block away from my apartment. It's constantly overrun with hipsters, one of whom works there and, according to my roommate, looks exactly like me from behind. I go there sometimes, too. I hope my scotch money does Matlida well 15 years from now.

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 … "
