Julia Stiles will perform a tribute to her late co-star Heath Ledger on Dancing with the Stars.
Julia Stiles will pay tribute to her late co-star Heath Ledger during dedication night on the US version of Dancing with the Stars next week. Stiles, 45, will perform a contemporary dance to Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Frankie Valli, the song featured in an iconic scene from the 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You, which she and Ledger starred in together. In that scene, Ledger's character serenades Stiles's character during sports practice.
Stiles has already impressed audiences this season with a performance inspired by her 2001 film Save the Last Dance, which went viral on social media. Her dance partner is Ezra Sosa, and her Save the Last Dance co-star Sean Patrick Thomas attended that performance.
Ledger, who was from Perth, died in New York City in 2008 at the age of 28 from an accidental overdose. In a January 2025 interview, Stiles recalled working with him, saying 'he was amazing' and 'such a bright light', and that he was 'very kind and generous' to her during her first leading role in a major studio film.
