Actor and Vocalist Helen Highfield is on the couch and she’s sharing tales of growing up to super smart academic parents who also have no shortage of cool factor, being on the cover of her mother’s album, riding show ponies and which equestrian ribbons are and aren't good enough, being an ESL ringer, and giving teachers some much needed advice about discipline. Plus the Zima formula, bad college essays, New York City, school provided fake IDs, the daunting view of life after college, the law and order to booking Law and Order, and learning how to fail.
Be sure to check out Helen on I Ship It on CW Seed and in former guest of the show @maggielevin’s new film, DIVA.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
