Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist discusses his involvement in the Save the Children Survive to Five campaign. Golden Globe-winning actress Keri Russell says after starring in the new film, August Rush, we're all capable of so much.
Bill Frist
A pioneering heart-lung transplant surgeon, Bill Frist was elected to the U.S. Senate from Tennessee in '94 and rose quickly through the ranks to become Majority Leader. Fulfilling his pledge to serve just two terms, he left in '07 and has been mentioned as a possible candidate for governor of Tennessee in 2010. Frist sits on the board of trustees of Save the Children and, each year, performs surgery during medical mission trips to developing countries. He also co-chairs the bi-partisan ONE Vote '08 campaign.
Keri Russell
After four seasons starring in the popular series Felicity, Golden Globe-winning actress Keri Russell is a familiar face to TV audiences. She's since made her stage debut in an off-Broadway production of Fat Pig and moved into features, with lead roles in no less than three '07 films—August Rush, Waitress and The Girl in the Park. She's also a CoverGirl spokesmodel. A talented dancer, Russell was discovered on Star Search and is one of several young stars who got their start as Disney Mouseketeers.
