Synopsis

An acclaimed production (Emmy Award winner as Outstanding Special) in which Sally Field won an Emmy as Best Actress for playing a young woman so disturbed by childhood experiences that she develops sixteen distinct personalities. A third Emmy Award went to Stewart Stern for his teleplay, and a fourth was given for the score by Leonard Rosenman and Alan and Marilyn Bergman. Of interest is that Joanne Woodward, here playing the psychiatrist, gave her own Oscar-winning performance as a similar multi-personality woman in "Three Faces of Eve" (1957), and was Emmy-nominated for her role here, losing to her co-star. Cinematographer Mario Tosi also received an Emmy nomination.
