COVER STORY:
 It's complicated: When filmmakers' legacies intertwine with #MeToo | Watch Video
Some filmmakers and actors who have produced a highly-esteemed body of work are now facing a critical re-appraisal, due to recent allegations of harassment and sexual assault. Is the behavior of an artist inseparable from his or her art? Tracy Smith talks with Tippi Hedren, who says she was harassed by director Alfred Hitchcock on the set of "The Birds," and with actresses Uzo Aduba and Amber Tamblyn, who are founding members of Time's Up.

TECHNOLOGY:
  Smooth operator: Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown | Watch Video
Garrett Brown described the act of invention as "looking at something annoying and imagining it didn't have to be." What Brown solved was the shakiness of a handheld motion picture camera, allowing the camera frame to float like a butterfly alongside Sylvester Stallone up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in an iconic shot from "Rocky." Brown's creation would free filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese from the restrictions of dolly tracks, and change the vocabulary of cinema. Michelle Miller talks with Brown, and with Steadicam operator Michael Craven about the revolutionary device.

One of the first uses of the Steadicam, in the 1976 boxing drama "Rocky." Gonna fly now!
