...kind of person you see in a movie, and it's like, wow!" says Crowe, revving into high-ecstatic mode. "Yet for someone that beautiful, she doesn't lead with her looks. Her silent moments are as great as when she speaks. Everybody says 'Audrey Hepburn' when they speak about her, and that's one of the big Audrey parts of her: she can turn a little silent moment into a one-act play.

But Gideon believes he is the instrument of something greater than the sum of his MRIS and charts. "He is willing to put himself on the line personally," Braugher says. "He's not afraid to sit at the bedside, not embarrassed by death and illness. He knows that inside the ill person is the same person who was once healthy. He considers it a privilege to accompany his patients on their dangerous journeys...
