TESTIMONIALS: “A must see film of one of the truly great heroes of science.” – Roxanne Truhn, Director, Michigan Science Festival “I came away with a newfound appreciation for Curie’s significant accomplishments. I’d consider this required viewing for any student — of science, of history, of humanity itself.” – Maia Weinstock, Science Writer & Creator of LEGO Women of NASA “Susan Marie Frontczak’s portrait captures Curie’s courage, curiosity, fragility, edge, and passion, and her storytelling transports the audience into the world of her laboratory and life. This film is a rare find.” – Holly Walter Kerby, Executive Director, Fusion Science Theater About Susan Marie Frontczak Susan Marie Frontczak is a Colorado-based scholar, playwright & performer. Through storysmith.org she has created and performed Living History portrayals of six historical women across 42 of the United States and abroad. She presents at theatres, conferences, schools, libraries, and festivals internationally — including performing Manya: The Living History of Marie Curie and A Visit with Marie Curie over 450 times to 60,000 people in 34 states and nine countries. In dramatizing the life of Marie Skłodowska Curie, Susan Marie pays homage to their shared Polish heritage. Marie Curie’s perseverance in purifying a tenth of a gram of radium from a ton of pitchblende, in part, inspired Susan Marie to major in Engineering. She earned a B.S. in Engineering from Swarthmore College and a Masters in Software Engineering from the Wang Institute of Graduate Studies, and worked for fourteen years at Hewlett-Packard Company before pursuing full time writing and performing. Susan Marie has always viewed both science and art as complimentary outlets for creativity. It is her aim to reveal the human behind the scientist, while placing Dr. Marie Curie’s life and accomplishments in a memorable historical context. storysmith.org.
