From Britney Spears running over people, to the Rome Film Festival, read it all right here in our Hollywood wrap.

Some of her most memorable works include The Millionaires, Lady L and Two Women which also won her an Oscar for Best Actress.

The Rome Film Festival also hosted the premiere of Director Shekhar Kapur's Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

"What Elizabeth was a consummate at was diplomacy. So she was an enlightened thinker, so in the age where we are today, where we have really lost sense of the primacy of reason, she was a very reasoned thinker,” said Cate.
