Production

Teleplay writer Vivienne Radkoff developed the story over seven years. It is an adaptation of Robert Bazell's book HER-2: The Making of Herceptin, a Revolutionary Treatment for Breast Cancer. The film was the first mainstream feature film scored as a solo project by composer Halli Cauthery.

Renée Zellweger, in her first television project, is executive producer, with Neil Meron and Craig Zadan as producers. Zellweger previously produced Miss Potter (2006). Zellweger suggested casting Harry Connick, Jr. for the film. They acted together in the romantic comedy New in Town.

Filming of Living Proof took place in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2008. Connick suggested the filming location because "It's expensive to film in Los Angeles, and my being from New Orleans, it's a chance to help the city get back on its feet a little bit by employing a lot of the local people."
