Beautifully done.
Truly, this was a masterclass in homage.
Julia Stiles won the internet last week when she gave everyone the nostalgia feels with her Save The Last Dance co-star Sean Patrick Thomas, and this week she’s done it again — but for a different kind of remembrance.

Tuesday was Dedication Night on Dancing with the Stars, and Julia paid tribute to her 10 Things I Hate About You co-star, the late Heath Ledger.
Heath tragically passed away from an accidental overdose (sleeping pills and prescription medications) in 2008. It was a death that rocked Hollywood and movie fans everywhere to their core.
So imagine the tears that came up when Julia chose Frankie Valli‘s Can’t Take My Eyes Off You for her routine this week. Yep, it’s THE song — the one Heath’s character serenaded Julia’s with during the iconic marching band scene in the 1999 film.
Relive it below:
All the feels all over again!!
Now watch Julia perform it with dancing partner Ezra Sosa before 10 Things stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gabrielle Union, Larisa Oleynik, Andrew Keegan, and Susan May Pratt join her on stage to pay their respects to Heath:
So touching!
Well done, brava!!
