1991. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us three guests with dangerous careers, as they describe what drives them.
“My spinal cord was sitting outside my spinal column, so the doctors were like, she’s tickled pink…”
We hear from Jade David, a Hollywood stunt actor who has continued her career despite life threatening injuries and close calls. Sabah Shayan speaks about going to conflict zones, is she afraid — when it is your time to go, it is your time to go. Ms. Shayan describes a close call in a war zone. Ann Bancroft, first woman to hike to the north pole, describes how 75 below 0 is the new reality and fears are far away when you’re in it. Ms. Bancroft describes falling through the ice in thos sorts of conditions. The segment closes discussing Jadie David’s son and his positive attitude toward her career.
