This girl lost her star dad at only 2 – he didn’t include her in his will, so people gave up money for her

In 2008, the whole world was shaken by actor Heath Ledger’s tragic death. It’s hard to grasp, but it’s been over 16 years since the talented Australian actor passed away and left a whole world mourning.

It remains unclear as to why 28-year-old Heath Ledger ended up in such a downward spiral, but one thing that we know for certain is that he loved his daughter, Matilda, more than anything.

And if he could see how she’s doing today and what she looks like, I’m one hundred percent sure Heath would have been incredibly proud of his daughter...

Sister inspired him

Heath Ledger’s acting talents would take him on a trip all the way from school plays in Western Australia to the most significant motion pictures in the world. And even though he died only 28 years old, Heath managed to accomplish more than many actors do in a lifetime.

He was born in 1979 in Perth, Australia. His mom was a French teacher, and his dad was a racing car driver and a mining engineer. Already at a young age, Heath developed his interest in acting and he was a raw talent

Heath was also very close to his older sister, and she inspired him to pursue a career in acting. As a hunky, twenty-year-old actor, he almost instantly made an impression after moving to Los Angeles.

His breakthrough came with the romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You in 1999. One year later, the handsome Aussie actor was hailed for delivering a memorable role in the blockbuster movie The Patriot.
