HOLLYWOOD (CNN) - An IMAX camera operator was killed in a plane crash along with the plane's pilot while in the process of shooting an IMAX 3-D movie titled "Galapagos: The Enchanted Voyage." Noel Archambault and William Raisner Jr. went missing last Friday while filming aerial shots over one of the island's volcanoes. Their bodies were found Wednesday on Cerro Azul, one of the two most active volcanoes in the archipelago, according to the film's production company, Mandalay Media Arts. Archambault, an expert and pioneer in the large-format 3-D process, has worked on every IMAX 3-D film made to date.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The "Uptown Girl" is an uptown mom, again. Supermodel Christie Brinkley gave birth to a baby girl early Thursday, publicist Fran Curtis said. Sailor Lee Brinkley Cook, Brinkley's third child, was born at 12:14 a.m. and weighed in at seven pounds, 12 ounces. The father is architect Peter Cook. Brinkley, 43, has a three-year-old son, Jack, with ex-husband Richard Taubman, and a daughter, Alexa Ray, 12, from her marriage to "Uptown Girl" singer-songwriter Billy Joel.

Copola

LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- A jury on Thursday awarded Francis Ford Coppola $20 million in compensatory damages from Warner Bros. after determining that the studio stole his screenplay to "Pinocchio" and acted with fraud and malice in claiming ownership of the script. "The jury found that Warner Bros. interfered with his project and stopped him from making a film we all should have been allowed to see," said Coppola lawyer Robert Chapman. During a tearful testimony, Coppola said the studio thwarted his lifelong dream of making a feature-length "Pinocchio" film. He said Warner Bros. threatened to sue any studio that tried to produce the movie. Barbara Brogliatti, a Warner Bros. spokeswoman, said the studio would appeal the decision.

Compay Segundo, of the Buena Vista Social Club

NEW YORK (CNN) - The Buena Vista Social Club, a band of Cuban musicians, performed to an enthusiastic audience at Carnegie Hall this week in what organizers say is likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime musical moment. The musicians, many of them elderly, appeared for one night only on Wednesday at the renowned concert hall. The group won a Grammy Award this year for their album "Buena Vista Social Club." Some of the musicians stopped playing long ago, but were rediscovered by guitarist Ry Cooder, who rounded them up in Havana to record the Buena Vista album in 1996.

Parton

PIGEON FORGE, Tennessee (CNN) -- In a tribute to Dolly Parton, the Dollywood amusement park will build a roller coaster that resembles the country singer's famous figure. "This ride has big features and curves, just like me," said Parton, who is a partner in the theme park. Besides the large double-butterfly loop, the Tennessee Tornado will drop 128 feet, with a top speed of 63 mph. The park is spending $8 million to build the roller coaster. Dollywood is one of the top tourist attractions in Tennessee. More than 20 million people have visited Dollywood since it opened in 1986. The roller coaster is expected to open next April.
