Summary of Living Proof
Harry Connick Jr. leads an all-star cast as Dr. Dennis Slamon, a brilliant oncologist whose development of a breakthrough treatment for breast cancer is cut short by a lack of financing. But when Slamon finds a couple of powerful supporters in big-hearted philanthropists Lilly Tartikoff (LAW AND ORDER’s Angie Harmon) and Ron Perelman (Joe Nemmers), he is once again free to continue his research to the full. Unfortunately, a caveat for his new miracle cure may be waiting just around the corner. Co-stars Swoosie Kurtz, Regina Hall, Amanda Bynes, Amy Madigan, Jennifer Coolidge, and Bernadette Peters give stunning performances in this harrowing true story.
