Rickman, Alan

Told through his diaries--a twenty-five-year passion project--the beloved actor, political activist, and more grants us access to his thoughts and insights on theater performances, the craft of acting, politics, friendships, work projects, and his general musings on life.

Dramatization of the true story of lab technician Vivien Thomas, a black surgical genius who fought bigotry in the 1940s, as he collaborated with Dr. Alfred Blalock on a pioneering procedure for "blue babies.".
