Dame Vivienne Isabel Westwood DBE RDI (née Swire) was an English fashion designer and businesswoman, largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream. Westwood came to public notice when she made clothes for the boutique that she and Malcolm McLaren ran on King's Road, which became known as SEX. Their ability to synthesise clothing and music shaped the 1970s UK punk scene, which was dominated by McLaren's band, the Sex Pistols. She viewed punk as a way of "seeing if one could put a spoke in the system". Westwood opened four shops in London and eventually expanded throughout Britain and the world, selling an increasingly varied range of merchandise, some of which promoted her many political causes such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, climate change and civil rights groups.

Fierro had training as an actress in theater but not as a screen actress. In her personal life Fierro had five children. Fierro acted in a famous scene in the 1975 film Jaws, in which she (as Mrs. Kintner) slapped the police chief. The scene required several takes. Fierro recalled slapping the actor playing the police chief (Roy Scheider) 17 times, saying "I slapped him hard with a loose wrist, which was what I was taught in acting school." Fierro reportedly had also "objected to the profanity" of the scene's dialogue as originally drafted, and the director, Steven Spielberg, wanted dialogue that accorded with Fierro's "everywoman looks," so the scene's dialogue was rewritten the day before it was filmed.

Karen Cromie sustained fatal injuries after falling onto the main Bangor to Belfast road – the same spot where two weeks earlier she had threatened to take her life. The 31-year-old, from Ballinamallard, was a talented rower who was set to compete in the London Games next year. Moving tributes were paid to Ms Cromie. It is understood she became depressed after losing the use of her legs after a fall while at university in Edinburgh several years ago. Police were called to the Holywood Exchange flyover in the morning after reports she was in distress. They closed the road and drafted in a trained negotiator, but it was too late. She died near the Decathlon sports store which had recently selected her for sponsorship as part of its ‘dedicated athlete’ programme. Two weeks earlier she was involved in a similar incident, when emergency services spent eight hours persuading her not to jump off the same flyover. Questions are now being asked over whether Ms Cromie received adequate mental health care. Born in Banbridge, she played wheelchair basketball and was a member of the GB Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team. After being introduced to rowing, Ms Cromie participated in the world championships in 2007, where she and crewmate James Roberts qualified for the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, where she was part of the mixed adaptive double scull which finished fifth.

The role of his life.
A village watchman in the central Philippines allegedly mistook an actor playing a masked gunman in a British film for a real assassin and fatally shot him, police said Monday.
Watchman Eddie Cuizon tried to accost Filipino actor Kirk Abella late Saturday then shot him as the actor was directed to speed away on a motorcycle with a masked driver, said community police chief Alexis Relado of central Cebu city's Parian district.
Cuizon, 52, told police he was sleeping and was woken up by a concerned citizen who reported the presence of armed men in his community.
He told police he saw two masked men on a motorcycle and approached them but they sped away and he stumbled as he tried to stop them, injuring his knee. He fired at Abella when the actor pulled out a gun, which turned out to be made of plastic, Relado said.
Many street killings in the Philippines, including those of political activists and journalists, have been perpetrated by motorcycle-riding gunmen.
Abella, 32, was acting in "Going Somewhere," being filmed by British theatre and film director Alan Lyddiard in Cebu, Relado said.
It was supposed to be the final take of a scene where Abella's character was to be involved in a drive-by shooting, the police chief said.
Abella died later in a hospital and Cuizon immediately surrendered to the police after he realized what happened, police said.
Volunteer watchmen in communities around the country help police keep the peace, patrol the streets and implement curfews. They are normally armed only with batons and are not supposed to carry firearms.
Cuizon told police he just borrowed the pistol he used but refused to identify from whom, Relado said. Cuizon will be charged with homicide and for violation of a gun ban, Relado said.
