Princess Diana is known for her fascinating life as a British royal, but she led an equally interesting life before marrying Prince Charles. Diana grew up in an affluent household in Norfolk, England. Her father's family, the Spencers, were closely allied with the British royal family, while her maternal grandmother, Ruth Roche, was a member of the court of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. After being homeschooled by her governess, Gertrude Allen, she began her formal education at Silfield Private School in Gayton, Norfolk, before moving to an all-girls boarding school when she was nine. In 1973, she joined her sisters at West Heath Girls' School, and although she didn't excel in academics (she failed her O-levels twice), she was a talented athlete.

As a lonely student, Laurel Nakadate started engaging with the random men who talked to her. Then she made tense, unsettling films of their encounters. We sent Eleanor Morgan to meet the provocative performance artist
"Men just started talking to me. That's how it all began. I had moved from Boston to New Haven to study photography at Yale. In Boston, no one talks to you. You're invisible. Now suddenly everyone was talking to me, and I found it fascinating. Men started approaching me randomly in innocuous places, like parking lots or grocery stores and, normally, as a woman, you'd just walk away politely. But I decided to engage with them. Sure, I said, we can hang out.
I told them I was an artist and asked them if they wanted to make something with me. They all said yes and we'd go back to their apartments – either then or...

Did a folksong-loving teacher really just happen to write England's most famous classical work? Film-maker Tony Palmer questions the myth of the author of The Planets
Making a film – any film – is a journey of exploration. If you knew at the beginning what you know at the end, why bother to make the film? This is one of the reasons I am often spurned by commissioning editors: I begin with no script, certainly no "agenda" (their favourite word), and no schedule. Not much of a budget either, come to think of it.
It was 40 years ago, while filming Benjamin Britten, that I first thought of making a film about Gustav Holst. I had noticed a photograph of the young Holst in Britten's music room, and asked him why. He told me, "I owe him more than I can tell you." Which was odd, because you almost never heard the name...

Emily Mortimer's worked with Woody Allen and Stephen Fry, next up it's Martin Scorsese, but she's still not convinced she's a professional actress. She talks about motherhood, movies and jealousy
Emily Mortimer enters the Brooklyn bar like a snowstorm: surrounded by a gust of frozen air and bundled up against the cold in a big white woolly coat that may once have been related to a yeti. She is moving rather slowly: she is just days away from giving birth to her second child. "I feel so enormous," she says, laughing at herself. "Even my doctor told me: 'God, you're really past your glory days, aren't you?'" Once we are ensconced at a corner table, the undisguisable fact of her inhabited belly leads us down intense and intimate avenues straightaway: her fears for her six-year-old son Sam; her mourning of her father, the writer and national hero John Mortimer...

After stints as an undercover grandmother and an undercover nanny, FBI agent Malcom Turner (Martin Lawrence) adds "undercover housemother" to his resume in the upcoming Big Momma's House 3. An acting and plot stretch, for sure.
This detail comes courtesy of a recent casting notice. Apparently, Big Momma is hired by the Headmistress of the Atlanta Girls' School for the Arts. Why exactly the school needs an undercover housemother remains to be seen. There's a quick mention of Malcom trailing Russian mobsters, but are they working out of the school?
One thing is clear, though. Lawrence won't be the only one appearing in drag. Included in the casting notice, is this gem:
Note: Trent and Charmaine are the same character. Must be able to sing, dance, and rap.
It seems Malcom's stepson is all grown up and getting into trouble. Now a "17-year-old aspiring rapper," Trent witnesses a murder by...
