    HBO MOVIE TELLS STORY OF TWO HOPKINS BREAKTHROUGHS: ONE MEDICAL, ONE INTERRACIAL
    "SOMETHING THE LORD MADE" PREMIERS AT SENATOR MAY 18; TO AIR 9 P.M. MAY 30

    HBO'S new movie, Something The Lord Made, starring Alan Rickman, Mos Def, Mary Stuart Masterson, Kyra Sedgwick and Charles Dutton, tells the moving story of an unusual partnership at The Johns Hopkins Hospital between one of the nation's pioneering surgeons, Alfred Blalock, and his young African-American lab assistant, Vivien Thomas. Coming of age in different worlds, they nevertheless forged a poignant and sometimes stormy relationship to develop the so-called Blue Baby operation and usher in a golden age of heart surgery. The Blue Baby operation, which surgically corrected a congenital defect of the heart known as the Tetralogy of Fallot, broke the last barrier to operating directly on the heart, long considered taboo and an impossibility.
