Williams met Matilda's father, the late Heath Ledger, on the set of the film, which tells the tragic story of two cowboys who fall in love in the American West during the 60's.

Williams, who played Ledger's wife in the film, got engaged and gave birth to Matilda in 2005. She's now 5. Williams says she'll wait until she's older to watch the film with her.

"I was just an actor who happened to be lucky enough to be in the right place, and it was the place where I met Matilda's father, and that is a lot," Williams told Angeleno Magazine.

"It was a lot. And it will be a lot for Matilda too, when she gets around to watching it," she said. "I will watch it with her, when she's ready. It is hard to imagine what that would feel like, but one day, yes, we will watch it together."

Ledger, of course, passed away in January 2008 at the age of 28. William's "Brokeback Mountain" co-star Jake Gyllenhaal is Matilda's godfather.
