Julia Stiles reunites with members of the 1999 cast of “10 Things I Hate About You” during Tuesday night’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars,” marking a tribute to the late Heath Ledger. All accounts describe a dance dedication on “Dedication Night” featuring Stiles and her pro partner Ezra Sosa performing “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.”
The coverage largely aligns on the core events: the cast reunion, Stiles’ participation, and the Ledger tribute tied to the film’s character and music. Variety and Deadline add that Stiles cries during the tribute, and Variety specifies the routine as contemporary. Deadline also includes an additional personal remark Stiles makes to Sosa about his “lust for life,” framed as something she wants to emulate. New York Post focuses more directly on Ledger’s death, noting it occurred in 2008 following an accidental overdose at age 28.
