I think the post by nw09 describe my feelings perfectly about Heath's death. Seeing the pictures and reading the articles about him crushed me and I did start to feel as if I had known Heath. I get extremely sad about it sometimes, particularly now since all of these nominations are coming out for his Joker character and he can't be here to see it.
I can't imagine the pain Michelle and the rest of Heath's family must feel about him. My heart broke when I heard of his death. The more I learned about him the sadder I became. I never knew him so I don't know why I am still so upset about this. I have never been so sad about a celebrity dying. So much potential is gone. I have trouble thinking about it too much or I find myself on the verge of tears...this article brought me to tears. I hope Michelle is okay. Her little girl is the most precious thing she has. I hope she and Heath's family know that many people have them in their prayers every day and I hope sweet little Matilda knows that many people loved her father and how many people care about her.

An Actress Moves On, Or Tries To

As she walks back to her car, Williams spots an SUV parked on the side of the road. Is it the paparazzi? No, but her heart still sinks at the thought. The paparazzi are one topic that gets her so riled up, she spits out curse words. "It burns a fire inside of me, the s––– that I've seen people do to get at me or my daughter," she says. "I won't forget it, and I won't support it. I don't want my daughter growing up feeling spied on or threatened." She can't understand how many more pictures people need of her holding a coffee cup in one hand and Matilda in the other. Williams is especially enraged at female photographers, because she thinks women should be protective of mothers. She tried to give a particularly aggressive paparazzo career advice recently. "I said, 'You're better than this. Look at you! You're young, you're able-bodied, you have a brightness in your eyes. You're above this.' But you know what? She didn't go away."
If the paparazzi won't leave her alone, then Williams might just have to leave them behind. She says she'll quit acting, if that's what it takes to get her life back. "If it gets to the point where I can't situate my life in a way that they stay away more, then I'll drop a match on the thing," she says. "I'll be sad. I like to act. It's saved my life over and over again. It's given me a sense of self-esteem, self-worth. I have this thing that I'm in love with—acting—and now it has this baggage." For now, Williams is taking a year off to focus on the job that really matters to her: being Matilda's mom. She's endearingly protective of her daughter. She tells a story about finding a tick on Matilda and getting so worried she almost called 911. "I don't want to work while she's in school," Williams says. "I want her to have a routine. I want the plainest, simplest, most ordinary, habituated routine possible. I just want to know what's coming next." And what's that? We didn't ask. Don't you think it's time we gave Michelle Williams a little privacy?
