Topic: Heath Ledger - News Articles and Tributes

[Matt Nasty]

I think this is such a sweet story. 

SIENNA MILLER has a special way of remembering her late pal HEATH LEDGER - she wears a pair of pyjamas the actor once gave to her.
The British beauty starred opposite Ledger in 2005's Casanova and the pair became close, socialising with each other after the film had wrapped.
And Ledger gave Miller the comfortable bedwear when she got soaked after falling in the rain after a night out with him and her mother in Venice.
She tells Britain's Telegraph magazine, "Heath and I had this amazing night out in Venice with my mother. It had been pouring with rain. Heath ran out in the middle of St. Mark's square and we were running around, and I slipped over.
"We all ran back to his (apartment) and he gave me these dry pyjamas to get home in."
And the star repaid the favour two years later, when the Brokeback Mountain star struggled to sleep while staying at her house.
She explains, "When he came over to my house last November, and he was having trouble sleeping, I gave them back, to help him sleep."
Ledger, who was found dead at his New York apartment in January (08), was said to have struggled with sleeping, which led him to overdose on the prescribed medication which killed him.
And Miller was so devastated after hearing about Ledger's death earlier this year (08), she asked the tragic star's father Kim to send the pyjamas to her so she would have a keepsake to remember him by.
She adds, "When he died, I was so sad that I didn't have these stupid pyjamas anymore, so his father found them to give to me."

thats sweet and very sad...

That is a sweet story and I'm glad she got a momento to remember him by

Thank you for posting this story Christie! I agree, it's so sweet, and I can't help but smile when I picture Sienna going home dressed in Heath's huge pyjamas...

I know me too. Its bittersweet, but its nice to know these things he did for people, and the memories they have of him because of them.  You can imagine the fun they had.....

What a sweet story Sienna has. I know how much we all love the Heath pajamas Ethan owns from BBM, and they weren't even really his own. I hope she holds onto those forever, it almost worries me that she travels with them, but what I love most of all about the story, is the fact that as heartbroken and depressed as Heath's dad Kim must have been, he still went out of his way to make Heath's friends feel better by finding and giving them things that ment something to them

[LuvJackNasty]

I love that too Jess. That man has been so gracious to everyone, the general public included through a horrific, uninimaginable time.

I saw this yesterday, It brings a tear to my eye, its so sweet :\'(

Aww, PJ's.  So humble, personal, comforting.  Yes, this is sad but a lovely memory of Heath...

This is a beautiful gesture from Chris Nolan and the studios... but it breaks my heart to think about it. Just reading these words is so hard for me. :\'( :\'(

I hope this memoriam will be shown worldwide, I will be very mad if they didn't.  But it will be very difficult to watch and keep my composure.

I know what you mean. I want to see it, but I also know it's probably gonna make me cry, again.

It's likely just for the premiere, but it would be nice if the put it online for his fans

Oh, you're right, I forgot the word 'premiere'.  I'm disappointed but I hope WB will put it up on the official website for us to download after the premiere.

[FlwrChild]

That would be great. I hope so too.

2013??  Jeez.  Actually, my good friend's mother is like best friends with both Wuorinen and Mortier, and we're fantasizing having front-row seats.
