Jane Fondo, Edward Fox, TteteHftHes Warm 'Thursday's Child' By Andrew J. Edelstein ^ Expect your heartstrings to get a good workout on Tuesday when CBS airs. "Thursday's Child." The "Hallmark Hall of Fame" drama is based on the true story of a healthy 17-year-old boy who suddenly becomes ill and then requires a heart transplant, "Thursday's Child" was originally set to air in December 1982. But a few weeks before air time, in one of those terrible quirks of fate, Sam Poole, the boy on whom the true story is based, died of kidney failure. He had lived almost six years since his heart transplant in February 1977. When the drama airs this week, Sam's death will be mentioned in a postscript at the end of the show, but will not be integrated into the show's plot, which still ends on an upbeat note. The drama, which stars Gena Rowlands and Don Mur­ ray as the boy's parents and newcomer Rob Lowe as Sam, is based on a book written by Victoria Poole, the boy's mother. "We thought about it a great deal but it doesn't change the basic story we're telling -- the story of a wonderful family getting together and a courageous young man," says Franklin Levy, the drama's executive producer. "It's a celebration of life. We didn't want to tell the story of someone who just erodes away and dies. After seeing it, friends tell me they want to go out and have a warm, big family," says Levy. 4 The movie goes straight for the heart. We witness Sam's health deteriorate from what is first thought to be bron­ chitis to what ultimately becomes congestive heart failure. And as his condition worsens, our admiration increases for the boy and his close-knit family and friends. One of the most striking elements, however, of "Thurs­ day's Child" is its portrayal of doctors as insensitive and duplicitous. At the outset, they are shown keeping vital information about Sam's health from his parents. In anoth­ er scene, Sam is having a seizure. His father frantically calls the family MD at his home. He tells him that Sam is just having a classic migraine. "Have him take two aspirin," he says, adding "never to call me at home again." "It's not our intention to portray all doctors as bad. " says Levy. "I happen to have a wonderful doctor. But the runaround the Pooles got was incredible -- in fact, we toned it down. We compressed three or tour doctors into one, whereas in real life, the Pooles had to deal with eight MDs. all of whom gave them the runaround." The real-life Sam (whom Levy described as being "full of spirit, full of fun") went on to study film at Stanford University But ultimately his kidneys reacted poorly to his heart medication. And in the end. it was his kidneys, not his heart, that failed him. (c)l983 Compulog t Trevor Howard. . 1973.
