Their savvy and big shoulders won their films dozens of Oscars in the 90s, and they haven?t lost their touch now that they?ve left Miramax and started the Weinstein Company. Of the first four films released under their new banner, two cadged Best Actress nominations: Transamerica and, for Judi Dench, Mrs. Henderson Presents.

In the years that followed, most transplants ended in lethal infections or organ rejection soon after surgery. But Shumway, a surgical mentor to Tennessee Senator Bill Frist, pressed on as others were giving up.
