The ex-lover of late Batman star Heath Ledger has gone into hiding as his final film makes its cinema debut, according to a report.
Actress Michelle Williams has told friends that she cannot cope with the huge hype surrounding The Dark Knight, which sees Ledger taking on the role of Batman’s nemesis The Joker. Michelle has also become increasingly concerned as tension mounts over Heath’s fortune.
She and their two-year-old daughter Matilda may lose out as Ledger’s will was made before they met. Williams’ father Larry has already made a public demand for Heath’s dad Kim to be open about his late son’s assets.
In a statement, Larry said: “It’s real simple: Just come clean with everything. It’s so easy to resolve this, he just has to say where the income went and where the assets are.”
A friend of Michelle told the Sunday Mirror: “The last few weeks have been particularly hard on Michelle because Heath’s face has been plastered all over TV and on billboards. It’s been extraordinarily difficult as she tries to somehow come to terms with his death and what that means for little Matilda.
“Then there is the awful, festering issue of what he was worth, where the money has gone and what there is going to be in the estate for Matilda.”

That and the great Richard Lester making another one of many terrific films.
The best news is that nobody is going to see “Hancock” anymore. The sooner the world is rid of Will Smith, the better (although I wish him a happy and lucrative retirement).
I’m partial to his performance in True Romance. About as outlandish as it gets.
He also nailed a Russian accent in ‘Air Force One’.
WOW! That was quick!
Thanks, that link confirmed my suspicions.
thanks, that does answer the question!
It doesn't really have an agenda other than being the best Batman movie they could make. I am free to not attend a movie that I don't like, but I will reward Hollywood for a film I think is well done. This one was well done.
Gosh, you think? Poor dear - the though of living on her own income must be absolutely devastating.
Box Office Mojo has a list that takes inflation into account.
Here it is:

It’s too early for the Dark Knight to be listed. It hasn’t made enough money, yet.
Fascinating!
Saw it this morning and I would agree.
It's not the greatest movie ever (there were several things that I found unintentionally hysterical), but it is good.
LOL! I’m sure he meant “Superman 4”
Superman 4 was awful.
Good Art is ageless. S2 still feels like something human is at stake. Unlike this film.
My wife and I saw it Friday night, and if you’re a hardcore Batman fan (like me) then you will enjoy it. BUT, it is a rough movie to watch and should have been rated R. It is NOT a kids movie, but a deep, troubling exploration of human morality.
And yeah, Heath Ledger surprised me by playing the Joker exceptionally well as probably the most chaotically evil dude to ever appear on screen.
Oh, I know, believe me, I was just having some fun.
I enjoyed “Superman 2” but it doesn’t hold a candle to “Batman Begins” or “The Dark Knight” or “X-Men” or “X-men 2” or “Spiderman” or “Spiderman 2” or “Superman Returns” or “Blade” or “Sin City.”
The bar has been raised considerably since the early ‘80s.
She does have a daughter to consider, who if I understand correctly is the dead actor’s child with her.
So the marriage certificate would have helped here.
