Succession star in 2004 at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, recalled how Strong moved into her home after Heath Ledger, Williams’ partner and Matilda’s father, died.“Jeremy was serious enough to hold the weight of a child’s broken heart and sensitive enough to understand how to approach her through play and games and silliness,” Williams told Variety.She added: “[Matilda] didn’t grow up with her father, but she grew up with her Jeremy and we were changed by his ability to play as though his life depended upon it, because hers did.”Williams also commented on the 2021 New Yorker profile of Strong in which he discussed method acting, saying it differs from the person she knows.“We’ve all been in awe of his talent,” Williams said. “We’ve watched him work harder than anyone and wait a long time for other people to recognise it.
The Conservative strong-holds that everyone’s gunning for in Trafford
27.04.2022 - 14:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Political parties in Trafford have their sights firmly set on two Tory strong-hold seats in the local elections on May 5. The Green Party, Liberal Democrats and Labour are all hoping to knock the Conservatives off their perch next week in both Hale Central and Hale Barns wards.
The seats proved to be a real battle ground back in 2021, with the Greens narrowly missing out in Hale Central, and it looks like things will be even closer this time around. Hale Central and Hale Barns became wards in 2004 when the larger Hale ward was split in two and both have been Conservative since their inception.
Before that, Hale ward was blue for 48 years, since 1973. This time around, the Greens, Liberal Democrats and Labour are all chomping at the bit to take a further chunk out of the Conservative voter share in Hale.

The Conservatives themselves said it’s likely to be an even tighter contest for the seat this year, but they remain confident.
A spokesperson for Trafford Conservatives said: “It is going to be a tighter race this year than last year, but we are confident that the Conservative candidate will be elected in Hale Central this year. Whilst many people are disappointed with the actions down in Westminster, this is a local election to tackle local issues, and the people of Hale deserve a local candidate to be represent them.
“Unlike the other parties who have candidates from the other side of Trafford, we have a candidate who lives locally in Hale in John Brodie, who is involved in many of the groups and projects in Hale and worked tirelessly in the local community for years.
“The majority of people in Hale don’t support Green Party
