Stiles confirmed that she asked Ledger\u2019s former partner the actress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/dying-for-sex-true-story-michelle-williams-real-molly-kochan.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michelle Williams<\/a> for permission before performing the tribute dance. \u201cI did ask Michelle if this was okay, and she said \u2018yes,\u2019\u201d Stiles told Extra. When the site asked how she thought the family might feel about the tribute, she said, \u201cI don\u2019t really want to speak for them.\u201d Classy and kind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmvjmo7mr000j3b7iai5h6ifo@published\" data-word-count=\"157\">Another potential drama that was quashed centered around David Krumholtz, who memorably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/2015\/10\/krumholtz-on-10-things-i-hate-about-you-cast.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">played Michael<\/a> in the 1999 film but was not at the reunion. There was no snub on either side \u2014 he was just busy. \u201cHere I am in the Catskill Mountains, upstate New York, fall foliage in full effect,\u201d he said in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DewWvtVxkZ2\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram video<\/a>. \u201cI am here shooting a film. I could not be in L.A. for Dancing With the Stars last night. I would have loved, loved, loved to have been there. Everyone looked so amazing. Julia\u2019s tribute to my dear friend, who I miss every single day, was amazing and stunning, and I\u2019m so proud of her.\u201d In the comments, Stiles responded, \u201cWe love you Krumholtz!\u201d Given how many members of the cast are busy working actors, it\u2019s honestly amazing that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik, Andrew Keegan, Gabrielle Union, and Susan May Pratt were all able to be there.
