Story summary

On Tuesday’s episode of "Dancing With the Stars," Tatyana Ali and Julia Stiles paid emotional tributes to their late co-stars James Avery and Heath Ledger, respectively. Tatyana, a former star of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," honored Avery with a Viennese waltz dedicated to him on the show, while Julia performed a contemporary dance in memory of Heath Ledger from the film "10 Things I Hate About You." Both tributes were accompanied by pre-recorded interviews where they expressed deep emotional connections and sadness over not being able to personally thank their departed friends. Notably, David Krumholtz missed the event due to filming commitments but praised Julia's tribute to Ledger, who died in 2008 from an accidental drug overdose. Despite fan expectations, no one was eliminated on this "Dedication Night," with host Alfonso Ribeiro announcing that all couples were safe for another week.
