Thurman breaks off Cannes to attend a family funeral:

Uma Thurman, who has been in the Jury board of Cannes Film Festival, Cannes, France, got  herself out  from the festival on May 20 to attend a funeral of her close family members or a close relative in Monaco. But the identity of the diseased person has not yet been disclose. She thought it even more emergency to attend the interment than to do the job of a jury at Cannes. She will be back and join her team soon.

"Uma Thurman left Cannes for the day and she will be back for the end of the competition," one of the sources said. "She wishes to keep her commitments to the festival, despite the circumstances."
