When Fanny Ardant, companion of Francois Truffaut heard the news of his death (back in the '80s) she kept herself composed and pulled through the movie she was working on at the time.
Then look at Michelle Williams, who dumped Heath Ledger because of his drug problem and now is acting all affected that he died, and is causing the movies she was working on to be put on hold. How unprofessional. She's not even with Heath anymore!?!? And ok take some days off for the funeral bc they have a baby together.
Fanny and Francois also had a young kid together!! She didn't use that as an excuse like Michelle. I don't even think Michelle can act. Yeah, I guess it's something personal I have.

Williams Puts Work on Hold 
Actress
Michelle Williams has put work commitments on hold indefinitely while she grieves for her former fiancee
Heath Ledger. The 27-year-old was filming the last scenes of new movie
Mammoth in Sweden when she heard of her former lover's death last week. The former
Dawson's Creek star immediately flew to New York with the couple's two-year-old daughter Matilda where she is expected to stay with family and friends. But the trip has prompted the filmmakers behind her next project
Blue Valentine - also starring
Ryan Gosling - to put the film on hold. A source tells People.com, "We will hold off until she is ready. The production is in the process of sorting it out in respect to her. We're hoping she will still come back and do the film and are happy to wait. The film is tailor made for those two so of course we would want to wait. You can't get much better than them." Williams and Ledger began dating after meeting on the set of
Brokeback Mountain in 2005. The couple split in September 2007.
