    Oscar-nominated actor Heath Ledger seemed to have the world by the tail in 2005 after winning critical acclaim for his starring role in "Brokeback Mountain." Not only that, Ledger charmed and fell in love with leading lady Michelle Williams and the couple had a daughter, Matilda. But the Australian-born Ledger and Williams, who starred on TV's "Dawsons' Creek", separated in late September 2007 for unknown reasons. According to reports, Williams was "devastated" to hear about Ledger's death. Ledger was 28 when he died January 2008.
