Michelle Williams has been way under the radar since the highly publicized and tragic death of her ex- Heath Ledger this past winter. Heath was also the father to her only daughter, Matilda, and it is no secret that Michelle was grieving him quite heavily. She has been throwing herself in her work, and it looks like it has paid off. Michelle was excited to have a chance to see her work on-screen in the red carpet premieres at the Cannes Film Festival. Michelle was there to premiere ‘Wendy and Lucy’ and also ‘Synedoche, New York’, a Charlie Kaufman flick co-starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Catherine Keener. During her time in Cannes, Michelle offered her first public interview since the death of Heath Ledger, and though she didn’t say much, it is nice to see her sparkling for a change. She talked about how great it felt to have two films going up at the same time, and how excited she was to be in Cannes at the Festival. She says it will be a great thing to look back on later in life. For the Festival, Michelle had to get reprieve from Martin Scorcese, who is currently directing her next piece of work ‘Shutter Island’ that she is filming in Boston, but that didn’t seem to be a problem. At the Festival, Michelle was all smiles and chatting happily, and with all of this work behind and ahead, her fans will be happy to see her in action again very soon.
