- Program Description
In March of 1998, three bald women came to the Cambridge studio of photographer Elsa Dorfman for a portrait session. The women - filmmaker Deborah Dorsey, artist and teacher Carol Potoff and Libby Levinson, an executive assistant at a publishing firm - had met in a breast cancer support group; each had lost her hair to chemotherapy. A film crew led by Dorsey's husband and business partner, Bob Burns, captured the session's hilarity and gravity, poignancy and fierce friendships, as well as the women's reflections on fighting breast cancer.
