 Writer, Annie Proulx sent both Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger an  original, autographed copy of her story. When she signed the copy to  Jake she wrote "To Jake..." however when she signed the copy she had  intended to give to Heath she signed it "To Ennis," After writing  out her personal message she realized what she had done and decided  to leave it be. In a private screening at Arclight in Hollywood, CA  she reflected that Heath Ledger really was Ennis. She left the  signed copy that way because she had felt Mr. Ledger has embodied  Ennis in every way she had wrote him.
