When Her Majesty was unable to accommodate the child, Mirren, who won the Best Actress in 2006 for portraying Queen Elizabeth II in “The Queen,” stepped in and invited Burton and his family to see her performance as Queen Elizabeth II in a play she's currently in called "The Audience."

On May 22, the American Cancer Society will be celebrating their 100th birthday, and the ACS is using it as a time to re-focus and re-commit to the cause.
One hundred years ago, the American Cancer Society began a fight against an enemy whose name even doctors were hesitant to mention. The word “cancer” was spoken only in whispers – because little could be done about the disease. Since then, the ACS has learned that progress comes when we speak out, when we take action and when we’re loud.
On May 22, Kathy Griffin and others are asking people get loud, take action and take a “Moment Against Silence” by pledging to do one thing to help finish the fight against cancer. The ACS’ goal is to spread awareness across the country and motivate people to take action.
Take a look!

For the Sandy Hook Elementary children and the thousands of other children in America whose lives were cut short by gun violence, a Mother’s Day card has been created for petitioners to sign.
In an open letter from a father who lost his young son in the tragedy, he writes, “Our sweet seven-year-old was one of 20 children and six adults whose lives were taken on December 14, at Sandy Hook Elementary… As Mother's Day approaches, we understand that we represent just a few of the families who have lost children and loved ones to gun violence. Our friends at Sandy Hook Promise have put together this card to give you another opportunity to support not only the Moms of Newtown, but Moms everywhere whose children have been taken by acts of violence.”
