Mourning Naomi Watts Goes Dark in Sundance

The actress, in Park City to promote her new thriller Funny Games, has canceled all interviews and obligations after learning her former lover Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in his Manhattan home.

The pair began dating after sparks flew on the set of their 2002 Western Ned Kelly and lasted 16 months.

In April of 2004 Heath’s sister, a publicist, announced their split saying, “At this time in their lives both are busy pursuing careers which are taking them in different directions. They remain close friends.”An official statement has yet to be released from Naomi’s’ camp regarding Heath’s passing.

Games, a pot-boiler about a pair of young serial killers terrorizing a family on holiday, costars Michael Pitt, who once played love interest to the mother of Ledger’s only child, Michelle Williams, on her hit series Dawson’s Creek.
