About Nell
Cut off from the modern world, Nell (Jodie Foster) is a wild child, who has lived her entire life with her mother in an isolated mountain cabin in North Carolina. When her mother dies, she is found by kindly Dr. Jerome Lovell (Liam Neeson), who is fascinated by Nell and the language she has developed. Lovell and the equally curious psychologist Dr. Paula Olsen (Natasha Richardson) eventually camp out near Nell's cabin, slowly introducing her to the larger world she's never known.
Giffords Circus co-founder Nell Gifford dies
The co-founder of one of the UK's best-known traditional travelling circuses has died at the age of 46.
Nell Gifford, who had breast cancer, died on Sunday surrounded by family, Stroud-based Giffords Circus said in a statement.
"We know many tears will be falling as Nell touched so many hearts," it said.
Ms Gifford, A Mother of two, told the BBC when she was undergoing chemotherapy last month that the circus gave her.
She had fought breast cancer on three separate occasions before the disease advanced to her bones and lymph nodes.
Members of The Public have posted tributes on Social Media .
Daniella Askew wrote: "Her legacy lasts in family traditions with Giffords Circus around the Cotswolds and beyond. Our Love to her family, including the circus. A queen of magic and dreams. "
Peter Wilson said: "This is so sad. Nell created an extraordinary phenomenon that helped My Own family through times of grief. Love to all Who Knew her. "
Nell Gifford co-founded Giffords Circus with her then husband Toti in 2000Ms Gifford, who studied English at Oxford, was 18 when she took a Gap Year and ran away to New York , where she joined the circus.
She fell in love with the lifestyle and met The Man who would become her husband, Toti. They co-founded their own circus in 2000. The couple later divorced.
Ms Gifford said the circus was a "land of Pure Magic " that rejuvenated her after chemotherapy.
Giffords Circus said she wanted to "bring happiness, imagination and enliven people's souls".
"Nell was a creative genius, a daughter, stepdaughter, sister, friend, leader and mother. She leaves behind the next Generation - her twins Cecil and Red, who are both part of the Giffords Circus DNA. "
Giffords Circus chairman Irene Molodstov added: "She took us all on A Journey . The circus was her first child, and The Show will go on. "
