The insurance company under which Heath Ledger held a life insurance policy is being sued for not paying $10 million in benefits to his daughter, claiming the actor may have committed suicide. Police ruled the death of the 28-year-old star was accidental, from an overdose of painkillers and other medicines.

Ledger’s daughter with actress Michelle Williams, Matilda Rose, 3, was named as the beneficiary in the policy.

Think of a romantic, handsome, versatile actor and somewhere in there would be Australian born Hugh Jackman, always the gentleman, as seen in Woody Allen’s Scoop with Scarlett Johansson and the romantic love interest of Meg Ryan in Kate and Leopold.

So to see him in the murdering role of Jamie Getz/Wyatt Bose in Deception comes as a bit of a shock only causing a girl’s pulse to beat faster with fright rather than passion!

Hugh, in this manipulating tantalizing role, is teamed up with Michelle Williams (partner of the deceased Heath Ledger) whom he takes from a street read more ....

“Getting treatment has given her a new lease on life.” I’ll say!
