Hour 2 opens with an interview with actress Heather McComb. She began her career at age two in a Publisher’s Clearing House commercial and landed her first major film role at 11 in Francis Ford Coppola’s segment of New York Stories (Life With Zoe). Early television work includes The Outsiders, a recurring role on Party of Five as Maggie (Neve Campbell’s college roommate in an abusive-relationship storyline), Wonder Years, House (sister of a patient facing liver failure), The Mentalist, and Memphis Beat. Film credits discussed include the cult classic Stay Tuned (as John Ritter’s daughter), All the Real Girls (with Zooey Deschanel, Sundance), and Steel City (working-class brothers coping with an incarcerated father; cast includes Clayne Crawford, Tom Guiry, Raymond J. Barry, and America Ferrera). She recently produced and appeared in her first feature, Another State. On Ray Donovan (Showtime, Sundays at 9 PM) she plays a character who befriends Banshee (Dash); her first episode aired the prior Sunday and is available on Showtime On Demand. She notes that smaller independent films have often been the most fulfilling.

He details the “Package of Hope”: $250 travel-assistance cards (typically two per year for gas, food, and lodging), a tablet for tracking appointments and medical information, and a dry-fit port shirt with zippers designed for chemotherapy. Travel remains the largest barrier for many families, especially in West Virginia and Pennsylvania where drives of two to three hours each way are common. Wilson draws on his own history (leukemia in 1974, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1981) and his mother’s detailed calendars. He discusses an upcoming Los Angeles trip with Rue and Shagun (fashion event) to raise funds for additional packages.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-neil-haley-show--6503396/support.
