Depp, Law and Farrell Donate to Ledger’s Daughter

After Heath Ledger’s sudden, tragic death, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell were hired to complete his final film role in The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus directed by Terry Gilliam. The trio plays versions of Heath’s character as he travels through different dimensions.

In one of the most touchingly, un-Hollywood moves we’ve seen in a long time, Depp, Law and Farrell are donating their salaries from the film to Ledger and Michelle Williams’ two-year-old daughter Matilda because Ledger left an old will that didn’t include his little girl.

Director Gilliam praised the star’s generosity, saying; “They didn’t take money - it goes to Heath's daughter. 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.”
