Williams 'won't raise Heath's child in LA'

Michelle Williams has vowed that she will never raise her daughter with Heath Ledger in Hollywood.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the actress suggested that three-year-old Matilda would face too much scrutiny and pressure growing up in her father's shadow in Los Angeles.

"I wouldn’t raise [her] there. For all the obvious reasons - being the daughter of… Being an actor’s daughter," she explained.

"It’s a town that’s about one thing and I want her to have options," she continued, adding that she hopes the youngster will become a doctor.

The Brokeback Mountain star, who currently lives with Matilda in New York, revealed that she "couldn't work" following the death of her ex-boyfriend last year.

"I felt burnt out, I still feel that, but I’m coming back to my wits, little by little," she said. "Ultimately I am not yet ready to work. I’ve actually really been enjoying not working… I guess everybody enjoys that."

Her new film Wendy And Lucy opens in the UK on March 6.
