When Kristina Taylor learned that her 5-year-old son Camden has only months to live, she resolved to fill his remaining time with as much joy as possible. "It's horrible, absolutely horrible of a feeling to know that one day you are going to bury your child and that you have limited time," Kristina told WHAS11. "It means the world - every day - that I can get a smile on his face and make him the happiest child that I can make him." Camden has stage four brain cancer. After brain surgery and six rounds of chemotherapy, Camden's cancer stopped responding to treatment in January.

Set decorator who worked on all the Harry Potter films and The English Patient
Although she won an Oscar for The English Patient (1996), the set decorator Stephenie McMillan, who has died of cancer aged 71, will be best remembered for the creation of the magical world of Harry Potter on film. Stephenie helped to bring Jk Rowling's intensely imagined world to the screen across all eight films in the series, from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2001 to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in 2011.
Directors and cinematographers changed in the course of the series, but the art department that Stephanie and I oversaw remained a constant, providing a real sense of visual continuity. Stephenie's work was always characterised by technical finesse, elegance and wit. She was responsible for the details that brought my vision as production designer to life.

When it comes to making films about cults, it's hard to outdo real ones, but Sound Of My Voice could make you believe, says John Patterson
I do love me a good cult; and the weirder they are, the more deranged, the more coercive, mind-erasing, wallet-draining, sexually absolutist and murderous they are, and the more they lure their members into a realm of isolation, rote repetition, low-protein diets, 36-hour work shifts, constant exhaustion and the ever-present fear of public shaming or shunning over some minute dogmatic or ideological shortcoming, oh, the better I like them.
Mind you, I take a pretty ecumenical definition of what a cult is. The Moonies, the Manson Family, Jonestown, and the Scientologists? Sure, but also the Symbionese Liberation Army and the Nation Of Islam; the Nazis; the Baader-Meinhof gang; the mass-suicidal castrati of the Heaven's Gate cult; and the followers of Ayn Rand, who was...
