Heath Ledger’s masseuse called Mary-Kate Olsen 4 times!

Mary-Kate Olsen

It was previously believed that Diana Wolozin, Heath Ledger’s masseuse, called Mary-Kate Olsen twice on the day that Heath Ledger passed away. In truth, the masseuse actually called Mary-Kate a total of 4 times!

Wolozin reportedly spent nine minutes making three phone calls to Mary-Kate Olsen before she called 911.

It was not known why the masseuse called Olsen – though the actress was a friend of Ledger’s – or why she did not immediately call authorities.

Police sources insist that the calls do not have any significance on their investigation since they believe Ledger was dead when Wolozin arrived.

Wolozin knew that Olsen’s number was programmed into Ledger’s phone.

More on Heath & Mary-Kate Olsen’s relationship.

Certainly friends, definitely party pals and maybe more, Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen first met over the summer of 2006, at the time he was living at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, PEOPLE has learned.

More recently, “Mary-Kate and Heath were casually dating for three months before Heath’s death,” a source has told PEOPLE. “They were hooking up, but neither were particularly interested in making it exclusive.”

As for what drew the two together, says the source, “They had a bond that was based on partying, and they had the same tastes in partying … like, in terms of where they liked to hang out in New York, what time they would want to go out. They just had the same sensibility.”

At the time of their first becoming acquainted – the summer after Ledger’s Oscar nomination for Brokeback Mountain – Ledger and Olsen were spotted together having lunch at the Chateau with a group of friends, and Ledger was described as being charmed by Olsen, who made him laugh as he would scarf down a big meal.

“Mary-Kate made him laugh a lot,” an eyewitness recalled.

Both the New York Post and Daily News reported this week that Ledger, 28, and the Olsen twin, 21, were dating.

Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen were dating?

Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen were dating, sources tell the New York Post and New York’s Daily News.

As reported, a masseuse who arrived at Ledger’s apartment Tuesday first called Olsen before 911 when she discovered the actor’s body.

Olsen’s number was programmed into Ledger’s phone, the Post claims.

According to the Daily News, Olsen’s bodyguard later confirmed to police that two were dating (though her rep says they’re just friends). The Post quotes a police source as saying the two had a “mutual relationship.”

According to a law enforcement official who spoke to the Post, the masseuse called Olsen first because “she didn’t want a media circus.” The Daily News reports that the masseuse called Olsen “for guidance.”

Olsen told the masseuse she would send her security guards to the downtown Manhattan apartment.

After the masseuse tried to rouse Ledger, she discovered that his body was cold, the Post reports, so she called Olsen again. “I think he’s dead,” she said.

Olsen replied, “I already have people coming over.”

The masseuse then told Olsen she was calling 911.

John Travolta speaks about Heath Ledger’s death

John Travolta

John Travolta is speaking out to Women’s Day about the devastation he feels over the passing of his friend Heath Ledger.

WD: Did you know Heath? How has his death affected you?
JT: I did know Heath and I adored him. I am pretty devastated over this. He was my favourite actor and my favourite talent. It’s like losing James Dean. I would give back all my awards and all my nominations just to have him back — I think he is a real loss as a persona and as a talent. And this whole evening is very hard for me. We are celebrating Australia week in the USA — and it’s killing me. You know that he’s both of us. He’s Australian and from the United States, and he means a whole lot. It’s bad situation.

WD: How did you meet him?
JT: I wanted to meet him because I was very impressed with him from the very beginning. His agent introduced me to him at a party, and I just fell — I used every accolade. Actors need other actors to be inspired by, and he was “my” actor.

WD: How did he respond?

JT: I forget that anyone younger than me grew up with me. He was beautiful in his reaction. I was an idol of his — my reacting that way to his work really blew him away, but he was very modest and almost bashful about the compliment — and didn’t want to make a big deal about himself. But he was a big deal.

WD: Did you know of any troubles he may have been experiencing?
JT: As far as I knew he was on top of the world. He had everything going for him and was very serious about his craft, and was looking forward to the best work thrown his way. I know recently there was a separation [between him and Michelle Williams], but the thing is when you have the depth of character and feeling as Heath did — it’s a double-edged sword. You are also feeling those things in life. Your sensitivities and perceptions are almost an assault on you. The most beautiful thing you can use in your craft is also the very thing that can make life harsher for you. I would be presumptuous to assume any reasons, it would be inappropriate. My feeling on Heath is I don’t want to lose him at any age, 28 or 88, like Marlon Brando. I didn’t like his passing, he was special to me, and he was a friend. At any age you don’t want to lose someone like that — he was a valuable guy. I am truly sorry and my heart goes out to everyone who knew him and loved him, and actually, my heart goes out to me, I really don’t like it. I don’t like it… [trails off]

WD: Do you feel for young people in show business now?
JT: I was in a different era, I really don’t know. My daughter is starting out in the business and she will be protected by me, and I admire anyone who holds it together nowadays. There are a lot of outside pressures, and then you add the complications of being a superstar — that talent, that depth, and who knows? We would have to be inside that person’s head.

WD: What was his most inspirational movie for you?

JT: Well, the first movie I saw him in was The Patriot, but then with Brokeback — I don’t think anyone will ever beat that performance, I don’t know if it’s possible.
