MARIE CURIE, a special series of five hour-long weekly
dramas about the life and work of the most famous woman
scientist of all time the discoverer of radium, the winner
of two Nobel Prizes premieres on Wednesday, Oct. 11,
on PBS.
MARIE CURIE dramatizes Madame Curie's brilliant
scientific career, which had at its center the discovery of
radium. The series spans the 48 years between 1886 and
1934 during which Marie Curie struggles as a student in
Paris where higher education previously was closed to
women, chooses a career in science and, despite
seemingly insurmountable odds, becomes one of the most
accomplished and famous women ever to live.
In MARIE CURIE, filmed on location in England and
France, Jane Lapotafre (pictured) appears as Madame
Curie and Nigel Hawthorne as her husband Pierre.
MARIE CURIE will be hosted by Dr. Rosalyn Yalow, who
in 1977 became the second woman ever to win a Nobel
Prize for Medicine. Dr. Yalow received the prestigious
award for her work in the development of the
radioimmunossay (RIA) procedure for the detection and
measurement of minute quantities of chemicals and
hormones in human blood and tissues.
Documenting the overwhelmingly frustrating,
frequently hostile barriers Madame Curie had to
overcome, MARIE CURIE authentically recreates the time
and atmosphere in which she conducted her work. The
series reveals its heroine as tenacious and indomitable,
capable of great warmth and compassion, yet painfully
shy.
