Michelle Williams, appearing in her first network TV interview since ex Heath Ledger's January 2008 death, told Nightline Wednesday that she still "can't find a meaning" in the accidental prescription drug overdose that claimed the life of the brilliant star of The Dark Knight at just 28.

Williams told Nightline that "in a strange way," she misses the year following her ex's death, "because all those possibilities that existed then are gone.”
The 30-year-old Blue Valentine star, whose 5-year-old daughter Matilda was born during her 3-year relationship with the late actor, said that a book she read during the year that followed Ledger’s death, Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, made it feasible to her that Ledger "could walk through a door or could appear behind a bush.
“It was a year of very magical thinking, and ... in some ways I'm sad to be moving further and further away from it," she said.

The former Dawson's Creek star said, "There's a line from a book that gave me so much comfort and it says, ‘When you've truly lost everything, then at least you can become rich in loss.’"
Williams, who was nominated for an Oscar for her work alongside Ledger in Brokeback Mountain, said she's "found meanings around the circumstance [of Ledger's death,] but the actual event doesn't have it, I can't find it ... I can't find a meaning for it."

There is no "meaning" in this from the universe.. And although he died young, there's no reason to transform his life into a mixture of Jesus and Ghandi. He was a talented person who died too young from a drug overdose. That's all folks.

Michelle had divorced Heath over a year before he OD on drugs supplied by the Olson twins. She couldn't stand him and they had a bitter divorce. Now she is boo hooing Heath because her daughter benefits from his estate.

To Barbie Doll.......There was no divorce, bitter or otherwise, because they were never married.

The meaning of his death is simple. One cannot take a combination of drugs, or a drug cocktail, and expect a positive result. Listen to the news.........It happens all the time and it is extremely dangerous.
