 After meeting Debby Franke Ogg, a woman who had been diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma who had survived the cancer using alternative therapies, Hart turned the story into "Leap of Faith" a 1988 television drama that features Anne Archer and Sam Neill.The movie was broadcast on CBS after overcoming objections from the network that people would be discouraged from pursuing standard medical care for cancer based on the portrayal of the success of alternative therapies depicted in the program.When Hart herself was diagnosed with cancer in 1994, she underwent a Native American healing ceremony and other conventional and alternative treatments that left her free of cancer for 20 years.
