William Shatner & Daughter Beat Stage 4 Cancer – How Denny Crane Made Me Want to Be a Lawyer

from FinFlam Unfiltered · host Big Johnh

William Shatner, 95, and his daughter Melanie both survived Stage 4 cancer at the same time. In this episode I talk about their fight, the compassion Shatner showed his daughter, and why his role as Denny Crane on Boston Legal is the reason I ever wanted to become a lawyer. For years, Boston Legal and Perry Mason were the two shows that most inspired law school graduates to enter the profession. This is a story about resilience, fatherhood, and the power of a great character.#dennycrane #bostonlegal #williamshatner #cancer #cancerfree #fatherdaughter
