The former Dawson’s Creek star joined friends and family in Australia at ex-partner Heath Ledger’s funeral wake on Saturday, and is now attempting to return to normal by shooting new movie Mammoth in New York.

Michelle – who has a two-year-old daughter Matilda with Heath – was seen filming outside Manhattan’s SoHo Evolution store on Monday, just three blocks from the apartment where Heath was found dead on 22 January.

An onlooker said: “Michelle looked really sombre and serious. When the cameras were rolling it was clear she was throwing herself into the work, but as soon as they stopped shooting the haunted look returned to her face.” Michelle stars alongside Gael Garcia Bernal playing a couple who face a crisis in their marriage. Mammoth is Swedish director Lukas Moodysson’s first English-language film.

The 26-year-old actress was shooting the film in Sweden when she heard about Heath’s death, which was caused by an accidental drugs overdose.
