| Abstract: | DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) We can all remember when the idea of a face transplant was an extreme work of science fiction. We know the movie "Face/Off," Nicolas Cage, John Travolta. Impossible. Impossible. But, now as we know, with extraordinary work of extraordinary surgeons, real-life has more than caught up with Hollywood. Doctors are working near miracles for patients who've been severely injured and one of those physicians, the first face transplant in America, Dr. Maria Siemionow. And she has performed America's first face transplant. I sat down with Connie Culp not long ago, you'll remember. And she's here with her new book called, "Face To Face." It's really good to see you.
