Michelle Williams chats Heath Ledger,
rumored romance with Ryan Gosling on 'Nightline'
by Kate Ward

During last night’s Nightline interview with Cynthia McFadden to promote Dec. 29′s Blue Valentine, Michelle Williams opened up about the death of ex-fiancé Heath Ledger, who passed away in New York nearly three years ago.
“In a strange way, I miss that year,” said Williams, who coped with her loss by reading Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, “because all those possibilities that existed then are gone. It didn’t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear from behind a bush. It was a sad year of very magical thinking. And in some ways, I’m sad to be moving further and further away from that.”
The chat, however, didn’t completely center on the tragedy. Blue Valentine co-star Ryan Gosling stopped by to discuss their project — and to dodge rumors that the duo were dating. “You are not an item?” McFadden asked. Answered Gosling: “Creatively, we are doing it.”

Michelle Williams still asks why Heath Ledger died
Yesterday, 06:57 pm
Actress Michelle Williams says she still can't find the meaning behind Heath Ledger's death three years ago, in a rare interview talking about the late father of her child who died of a prescription overdose.
Williams, who since the actor's death in New York in January 2008, has remained mostly quiet in interviews about her former partner, told ABC news show "Nightline" this week she could understand why the public was curious about her grief, but still could not understand why Ledger died.
"I've found meanings around the circumstance but the actual event itself still doesn't have a ... I can't find a meaning for it," she said with tears in her eyes.
The 30 year-old actress, whose romance with Ledger blossomed on the set of "Brokeback Mountain" in roles for which they both received Oscar nominations (he won supporting actor), said she had found "meaning in things and people and relationships that have sprung up and friendships that have strengthened.
"I can find a lot of meaning in that, but not in why," she said.
Williams had split with Ledger when he died but was still sharing duties raising their daughter. To deal with her grief, she said she read "The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion, the Pulitzer-Prize winning account of Didion's year following the death of her husband.
"In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed then are gone," Williams told ABC. "It didn't seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear from 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 that for a time, she pondered the notion that one's life can change in an instant.
"I got kind of obsessed with that for a while, before and after," she said. "A lot of things died. There is a line from a book that gave me so much comfort and it said, "When you have truly lost everything, then at least you can become rich in loss'."
Williams, who is widely tipped to be nominated for a best actress Oscar this year for her new film, "Blue Valentine," said she aimed for a normal upbringing for Ledger's toddler daughter, Matilda.
"It is of more importance to me than anything else in my life," she said.

Michelle Williams Upset
Over 'Devastating'
Heath Ledger
'Nightline' Interview

Talking about late ex-fiancee is still difficult for Michelle Williams -- especially when her words are manipulated.
Williams spoke about [Heath] Ledger in a highly publicized 'Nightline' interview last week, and she told The Daily Beast that she isn't pleased about how they presented her words.
"I just had an experience with Nightline that got edited in such a way that seemed as if I did go too far," Williams said. "It was a three-hour interview that was edited in such a way that was devastating to me."
Among a number of other things, Williams said:
"In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed then are gone. It didn't seem unlikely to me that he 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."
It was a totally misuse of what she said in the long interview, Williams insists.
"They used those few quotes and the way they edited the piece to sell the interview, and it appeared as if I were breaking some kind of silence and sitting down with the express purpose to discuss something that is very private to me."
Actually, Williams says that she suffered a lot of loss following Ledger's tragic death.
"I experienced a lot of loss after his death," she confided. "I lost my city because of all the paparazzi descending upon us. I actually lost my journal during that time, oddly enough. I literally couldn't hold on to anything. It felt as if things were literally slipping through my fingers."
