Heath Ledger’s Golden Globe will go to the late actor’s young daughter, Matilda.
Heath won a Best Supporting Actor prize for his role as “The Joker” in the 2008 Summer BlockbusterThe Dark Knight.
“I should imagine that eventually it will be going to Matilda,” Heath’s mom Sally Bell told PEOPLE Magazine in an interview from her home in Perth, Australia on Monday.
“At this stage she is only so young, but down the track she will have all these things. It will belong to her because she is part of him.”
“It is such a fantastic and wonderful legacy for his daughter,” Ms. Bell added.
“Matilda will have so many people who will be able to speak to her about her father’s abilities and [the] respect he had in the industry. That is such a wonderful legacy to leave.”
Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York City apartment last January of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
