Hayley Atwell's Stage Show In Jeopardy As Movie Shoot Over-runs

British actress Hayley Atwell faced a last-minute dash to make it on stage for a theatre performance in London this week (beg18Aug13) after filming on her new movie Cinderella over-ran.

The Captain America: The First Avenger star is currently appearing in a play called The Pride in the British capital, and she is also working on Kenneth Branagh's new movie adaptation of the classic fairytale.

Shooting on the film ran over schedule this week (beg19Aug13), forcing the actress to risk axing her appearance in the Monday night (19Aug13) performance of The Pride.

However, Atwell managed to finish work early and made a last-minute dash from the Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England to the theatre.

The actress made it on time and the show went ahead as planned, and she addressed the drama in a post on her Twitter.com page, writing, "Finished filming early so I Will be appearing in The Pride this evening at Trafalgar Studios. Come join us! It's a fantastic play."

In a post on her blog for Harpersbazaar.co.uk, the actress revealed she didn't realise she was due to start filming Cinderella until the opening night of her play.

She writes, "As we arrive at the after party, at around 11pm, my agent tells me 'You have an 8am pick-up to go to Pinewood Studios for rehearsals in the morning.' Eek. This is news to me... So I say 'hello' to our guests, speak to the press, then head straight home to re-read the script... No rest for the wicked... The next day I'm sitting in a rehearsal room with Ken Branagh discussing an entirely new character. By 4pm I've had costume and wig fittings for Cinderella and then I jump back in the car and head to the theatre."

Woman Saves Dog After Owner Posts a Craigslist Ad Threatening to Shoot Him

Fox 2

They say all dogs go to heaven, but luckily for this pup, he won't have to find out just yet.

Liz Pendleton of University City, Ill., spotted a Craigslist ad in Morrisonville, an hour and a half away, that read, "Dog needs gone or shot." She immediately acted.

"In the description of the dog, it said that they had no use for a dog and if it wasn't gone by the end of the day they were going to shoot it," Liz told Fox 2. "We had to pick him up, no question about it."

She continued, to KMOV, "I couldn't leave him. The ad had only been up for an hour and a half but I didn't want to take any chances of him getting hurt so I left within the half hour of seeing the ad myself." 

The vet student says the ad "brought [her] to tears" and the long drive was "well worth it" to know the dog was safe. "He's just wants love and he deserves so much better than what he's had," she says. 

Liz was given the dog "no questions asked or answered" and later contacted police about the ad. No word yet on whether any changes will be filed in the case.

Liz has since named the German shepherd mix Buck ("a country name"), but unfortunately she isn't able to keep him permanently. So Buck is safe now, thanks to Liz's heroic actions, but he's still in need of a forever home. 

"He's a good boy," she says.
