Matilda Will Have Heath Ledger’s Oscar Trophy If He’ll Win
His untimely death and his last finished movie made him a talk about actor last year up to now. His performance for the movie Dark Knight provided him a lot of post humus honor that he deserved. Again, Heath Ledger is nominated for the upcoming Oscars as best supporting actor for the film and it was reported that when his daughter Matilda turned 18, if ever he won on Sunday, that the trophy will go to her if she chose to.
Matilda is the only child of the star, who died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs last year. He was 28.
“In the event that Heath Ledger should be selected as the supporting actor recipient, the statuette will be held in trust for his daughter by her mother, Michelle Williams, until Matilda reaches the age of 18,” Bruce Davis, executive director of the academy, told the AP.
“At that point, she may execute what we call an heir’s agreement and keep the statuette forever – or, if she chooses not to do that, it will return to us.”
If and when Matilda signs the contract, she would be entitled to receive the statuette on her 18th birthday, Oct. 28, 2023.
In the Golden Globes he won an award and his mother told reporters that the award will primarily go to Matilda.
