I can tell you how! Google the title of any old movie you want.Many old movies are now in the public domain which means everyone can see them and nobody has a right to it. - @Sunday, May 20, 2012 12:17 PM

@Redfordforpresident the woman this movie is based on actually had 27 personalities by the time she was cured in the mid 1970's but the character had to be able to switch between her personalities easily in the film so 3 was an easy enough number and Joanne wasn't the producers first choice Judy Garland was - @Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:03 PM

She has the gift of channeling messages from the highest powers. Notice that she is never boring. I would rather have 100 faces than be a boring one-or-two-faced person. - @Friday, September 30, 2011 9:31 PM

@jetset59 Wow, fascinating and scary - you should write down all of your grandmother's stories! I wonder what it was like to be a woman working in that era. - @Tuesday, June 7, 2011 11:53 PM

@lavafrenzy It's a feature film. I recommend renting it. I can't speak for its psychological accuracy, but Woodward's performance is worth it and she's a great example for drama students! - @Tuesday, June 7, 2011 11:50 PM

@xPikmin2x She never admitted to being sexually abused. I don't know if she was in denial, or couldn't remember or what the reason was. - @Sunday, June 27, 2010 6:46 PM

@aerithlives I never quite accepted that she wasn't the victim of severe and chronic sex abuse as a child. - @Thursday, May 6, 2010 11:50 PM

What they don't tell you, is that the real Eve, Chris Sizemore was ripped off. The doctors didn't "cure" her, she went on to develop even more personalities And she got very little money for this, while the doctors and every one else got rich off her pain and grief.. - @Thursday, May 6, 2010 11:49 PM

I just watched this movie last night on Turner Classic Movies. it was absolutely amazing. - @Monday, September 14, 2009 1:15 AM

Ray E

I'm also going to guess that the same preservatives we use today to keep dead bodies intact were not used back then.. so she was probably kissing what was an ugly flea-infested mess that was her grandmother. - @Monday, September 7, 2009 1:07 AM

Ray E

Just because MOST cases of dissociative identity disorder are caused by exposure to sexual abuse, does not mean that one must be abused to get it. Again, this was based off true events, and exactly what the medical report was. You're not using your head as to how this can cause someone DID. The pain of losing her grandmother, the loss of innocence in not only having to SEE the shell that was your grandmother, but having to kiss the dead remains can be equally as traumatizing as childhood rape - @Monday, September 7, 2009 1:03 AM

Ray E

Um.. it IS kinda your word against the actual medical report, dude. - @Monday, September 7, 2009 12:42 AM

ethalinia

Yeah, but that is really the cause that was mentioned in the medical report...I think you're right,though, it seems a bit strange that someone would develop up to 22 personalities just because she had to kiss her dead grandmother, maybe there had been abuse in her early childhood...and she pushed it away into her subconscious memory....there could've been so many things that caused this, I guess we'll never know for sure what's inside a person's head - @Wednesday, June 10, 2009 2:06 PM

I think she's saying, please dont make me mama. I recieved a lecture from the real women not too long ago, and this is what they gave the nickname too one of her faces. Not sure though! - @Wednesday, April 22, 2009 8:17 PM

Cherilyn H

In the end with the last personality what was she saying? It sounded like she ssaid her momo made her kiss him??? Was it forced sex or rape? I've never seen this movie befor. I just watched Sybil and have been looking up DID and famous cases,films and books - @Saturday, March 21, 2009 7:49 PM

Cherilyn H

well I've never seen this film, but another film of DID is Sybil this movie and book is very intresting and her case officialy became MPD in the I think the early 20s-40s I recomend this if you'r studying phsycological disorders - @Saturday, March 21, 2009 7:46 PM
