Actor Gwendoline Christie said she was told she would never be able to make it to the television and films.
	The 38-year-old actress, best known for her role as Brienne of Tarth on "Game of Thrones", said when she graduated from The London Drama Centre in 2005 she was told that she would not get work in the industry because of her height, reported Femalefirst.
	"I went to a brilliant drama school but was made aware that I would probably never work because I didn't look the same as most actors. I told my agent that I'd love to work on screen, he said, 'Well, good luck with that'," Christie told Daily Telegraph.
	The star previously credited the HBO hit drama for giving her confidence.
	"I remember when I had my hair cut off, the armour, the mud... I completely changed the way that I looked. I knew I had to overcome the things that I was uncomfortable with, like my androgyny, my height, my physical strength, feeling like an outsider, being told I was an outsider.

Singer St Vincent said her experiences have always inspired her songs and her relationship with actor-model Cara Delevingne was a major part of her life.
	The 34-years-old musician said it was obvious the people would try to find some meaning in her lyrics with respect to her ex-flame, the "Suicide Squad" star, reported The Guardian.
	"I've always kept my writing close to the vest. And by that I mean I'm always gonna write about my life. But it's almost like an involuntary reflex. And that does not mean there's literal truth in every lyric on the way.
	"But I can only write about my life, and that -- dating Cara -- was a big part of my life. I wouldn't take it off- limits, just because my songs might get extra scrutiny. People would read into them what they would, and you know what? Whatever they thought they found there would be absolutely right. And at the same time it would be absolutely wrong," St Vincent said.
	The former couple dated for 18 months and broke off last September.

Veteran American entertainer Jerry Lewis, whose goofy brand of physical comedy endeared him to millions in a career spanning six decades, died aged 91, his agent said.
	One of the most popular comic actors of the 1950s and '60s, Lewis perfected the role of the quirky clown in slapstick comedies like "The Nutty Professor" but also won acclaim as a writer, actor and philanthropist.

Raghu Rai has captured various aspects of Mother Teresa's work through his lens but she was once unwilling to allow him shoot the prayer sessions at the Missionaries of Charity but the ace photographer finally convinced her invoking Jesus Christ.
	Mother Teresa did not wanted photographs to be taken during prayers as she felt this disturbs the sisters and takes away the seriousness of the moment.
	Rai was shattered but undeterred.
	He went on to say: "Mother, you often say that you nurse the poorest of the poor because you were not there when Jesus was suffering, and thus while nursing the poor, you actually nurse Jesus. This is one of the two routes through which one can establish direct connection with Him. The other is prayer."
