Dr. O.H. Frazier Presents Threshold (1981) at MFAH Movies Houstonians Love (Q&A)

Dr. Bud Frazier opened Season 15 of Movies Houstonians Love at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (MFAH) on September 15, 2019. At the Sunday night screening, Dr. Frazier shared his unique connection with the production of the film Threshold (1981). When the movie first released, newspapers reported that it was based directly on Dr. Denton A. Cooley’s career since he was the first doctor to use an artificial heart in a patient whose heart was unrepairable on the operating table. After the film, author and Texas Monthly editor Mimi Swartz moderated a lively discussion about the inspiration for the film and several fascinating themes that parallel the research and development efforts by surgeons and engineers in Houston to build a practical total artificial heart. Watch recorded Q&A with Dr. Bud Frazier, Threshold producer Michael Burns and Threshold film director Richard Pearce, Dr. Billy Cohn, and surprise guest Daniel Timms, the brilliant engineer behind a total artificial heart in development and testing at the Texas Heart Institute.
