Seattle International Film Festival co-founder-turned-independent filmmaker Dan Ireland, tv movie “Living Proof” premieres tonight on Lifetime at 9PM, and is being billed as “A Red Carpet Movie Event” to coincide with Lifetime’s 14th annual “Stop Breast Cancer for Life” campaign.
The movie pays tribute to Dr. Dennis Slamon (Harry Connick Jr.), the UCLA researcher who developed the revolutionary breast-cancer drug Herceptin. While chronicling Slamon’s progress from 1988 to 1996, the film focuses on Slamon’s first Herceptin trial subjects, a close-knit group of women that included Barbara Bradfield, who emerged from the trials cancer-free. Played by Bernadette Peters in “Living Proof,” Bradfield was living in Southern California when she was diagnosed with cancer in 1990.
