A heart symbol tragic Heath Ledger scribbled on a letter to director Terry Gilliam’s daughter Holly has been turned into a tribute tattoo by the cast and crew of his final film.

Gilliam brought the letter to the set of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus shortly after the Aussie actor died of an accidental overdose in January. Ledger was shooting the fantasy film when he passed away.

And Mini-Me Verne Troyer and select castmates decided to get Ledger’s heart symbol duplicated and turned into a tattoo.

Troyer, who wears his heart on his right hand, says, “A lot of us went and copied that heart and had it tattooed in remembrance to Heath. We had it copied identical to how he scribbled it.”

He reveals one of the people who chose to honor Ledger with the tattoo was the recipient of his heartfelt letter, Gilliam’s daughter.
