At the time of his untimely death in January 2008, actor Heath Ledger was romantically involved -- in secret -- with Lindsay Lohan. So says her mother, Dina, in an undated, recorded phone conversation with Michael Lohan, her ex-husband and Lindsay's father.
See how Lindsay's face has changed over the years
In a newly revealed recording at Radar, Dina tells Michael that their eldest daughter "was dating Heath when he died . . . I don't know if you know that, but I know cause I would drop her off and they were friends, very, very close."
And Ledger's death devastated the actress, now 23. "That f***ed her up," her mother says.
Ledger died at age 28 on January 22, 2008 from an accidental, toxic combination of prescription drugs; he had recently separated from girlfriend, actress Michelle Williams, mother of their daughter Matilda, now 4.
Take a look back at Lindsay's life so far
Understandably, the presence of the self-destructive Brokeback Mountain actor made Dina Lohan nervous for her own child's fate.
"When she's drunk or takes an Adderall with it she will do something like Heath Ledger did in a second without thinking," she tells her ex-husband on the tape.
She also expresses concerns about Lindsay's then-relationship with Samantha Ronson, and wonders if her daughter has the wherewithal to walk away. "It's very easy for a rational person to say. But for an irrational person who has a problem with her DNA and alcohol and Adderall and asthma and every other things she's got wrong with her."

For her part, Lindsay Lohan has recently criticized her father for leaking other tapes of private phone conversations. "He's disgusting to do this," she wrote on Twitter. "It really hurts my mom for me and my siblings."
(Radar has not confirmed whether Michael Lohan provided this newest recording.)

Azure S. L.I am sorry, but is there an editor working for OMG?The headline is ridiculous! How can you date someone when that someone already died? Unless the writer is trying to be funny implying that Lilo is a zombie, or some kind of freak who like to get involved with dead bodies, I think they should use 'before' instead of 'when' .report abuseposted November 13, 2009 5:19 PM PST

blaquemochaI betcha anything Dina had something to do with this. I admit -- I'm speculating. But I suspect that she did. Could easily believe it.Although Dina appears to care more than Michael -- both Lindsay's parents have revealed themselves to be nothing more than selfish social-climbers.report abuseposted November 12, 2009 2:41 AM PST

blaquemochaHow did you manage when you have 'Toxic People' in your FAMILY? She needs to sever ties. F*ck that. Whatever. She needs to find a better support system. Get clean/sober & start perfecting her acting craft. H*ll if Drew Barrymore can pull herself up & beat the odds...I'm sure that Lindsay can too.report abuseposted November 12, 2009 2:36 AM PST
