Rome, March 1960. Behind the scenes of "Cleopatra"—the most expensive film ever made—a costume designer named Catherine Williams was working 20-hour days, barely sleeping, barely eating. Elizabeth Taylor noticed something was wrong. At 4 a.m. one morning, she found Catherine on the floor of the costume workshop, crying over a telegram. The telegram said Catherine's 8-year-old daughter had 6 weeks to live without treatment that cost more than Catherine would earn in ten years. What Elizabeth did in the next 72 hours saved a child's life and remained completely secret for 35 years—until a safety deposit box was opened in 1995. This is the true story of two mothers, one impossible situation, and the kind of generosity that changes lives forever.
