Time to set the TIVO (or your DirectTV or VCR or whatever you have at home to record television programs).

Lifetime’s red carpet movie premiere of “Living Proof” takes place on Saturday, October 18th at 9 PM ET/PT.

“Living Proof” is the inspiring true story of the sacrifices and obstacles oncologist and researcher Dr. Slamon (portrayed by Emmy award winner, Harry Connick Jr.) faced while devoting his life’s work to help find a cure for cancer with the life-saving breast cancer drug, Herceptin.

“Living Proof” was produced by Renee Zellweger and features an all-star cast, in addition to Harry Connick Jr., including Angie Harmon, Bernadette Peters (a favorite of mine!), Amanda Bynes and Jennifer Coolidge.

Here’s an amazing video about this movie:
