Sienna Miller uses pajamas to help remember Heath Ledger
Sienna Miller has a special way of remembering her late pal Heath Ledger – she wears a pair of pajamas the actor once gave to her.
The British beauty starred opposite Ledger in 2005′s Casanova and the pair became close, socializing with each other after the film had wrapped.
And Ledger gave Miller the comfortable bedwear when she got soaked after falling in the rain after a night out with him and her mother in Venice.
She tells Britain’s Telegraph magazine, “Heath and I had this amazing night out in Venice with my mother. It had been pouring with rain. Heath ran out in the middle of St. Mark’s square and we were running around, and I slipped over.
“We all ran back to his (apartment) and he gave me these dry pajamas to get home in.”
And the star repaid the favor two years later, when the Brokeback Mountain star struggled to sleep while staying at her house.
She explains, “When he came over to my house last November, and he was having trouble sleeping, I gave them back, to help him sleep.”
Ledger, who was found dead at his New York apartment in January, was said to have struggled with sleeping, which led him to overdose on the prescribed medication which killed him.
And Miller was so devastated after hearing about Ledger’s death earlier this year, she asked his father Kim to send the pyjamas to her so she would have a keepsake to remember him by.
She adds, “When he died, I was so sad that I didn’t have these stupid pajamas anymore, so his father found them to give to me.”

like health’s father had nothing better to do than look for a stupid pair of pjs for her. she should be ashamed of herself for even asking…so selfish.

Oh, get a life, m. That’s a ridiculous comment. He was probably happy to to know that someone cared that much about him to get the “stupid pair of pjs” back to remember him by. So negative…

It is ODD what some people want when a loved one has passed

That’s really sweet. I can totally understand the desire to want to hold onto something. And, if this is true, I agree that his father was probably happy to be able to do something for someone who was also suffering for the same reason.

you are right blondey, heath’s father must have been thrilled to know that some chick that his son probably slept with wanted his pajamas as a keep sake. It really must have soothed the pain of burying a child.
What is the point of this interview anyway? If she cared so much about him why is she using his memory to get publicity? If she was really concerned she would have offered to help the family…instead she asked them to search all of his belongings for sleep wear.
How do i know she didn’t offer to help the family? You bet your *ss it would have been in print as well.
