The lil girl who lost her daddy to a tragic death last year will benefit from the loving gift of three other fathers. Heath Ledger died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in January and his will had not been updated to include his two-year-old daughter. The late actor was in the midst of filming The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus so three actors —Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell — stepped in to finish playing his role. Beyond making good on Heath's acting commitment, the men, who are all fathers, donated their salaries to the child.

    That's really amazing and touching. But why wouldn't the person(s) that are in HL's will turn the inheritance over to the child?? That's just evil.

    They seem like incredibly great guys, and I'm sure that the fact that they are all fathers weighed into their decision to donate their salaries to Matilda.

    When I read this I almost teared. How sweet are they?? I agree jessie, its a shame that Heath's family hasn't thought to give her anything.

    What an immensely kind and sincere gesture. Doesn't surprise me at all that they're fathers.

    Such a loving gesture and as a fan of theirs already, this makes me respect them even more. I already knew Colin and Johnny were giving however I have a knew respect for Jude. I'm glad someone stepped up to help out since Heath's family seems to be doing nothing.

    As shown in the pictures, Colin, Jude and Johnny are all parents and I'm sure they'd hate to be in position of their children being fatherless.

    His will was not updated before he passed away...it didn't mean that his family will intentionally keep money from her.

    Nevertheless, this is absolutely wonderful.

    I wouldn't judge Heath about leaving Matilda out the will, I really don't believe it was planed that way.

    From the three daddies, that gesture seems to be the purest and most honest one in a long time.
