Joanne Woodward received an Academy Award for her portrayal of 'Eve.' By some, she is believed to be the first documented case of Multiple Personality Disorder during the 20th Century. Her father was a lumber mill worker, Christine witnesses several horrific accidents during her early youth which included a man being severed by machinery at her father's workplace, a man retrieved from a ditch after he drowned and her mother severely cut during a kitchen mishap. The first sign of an issue was at school, when teachers notice a change in personality each day. She suffered from memory lapses. She would often be unprepared for tests. Both her teachers and family thought she was lying and she often found herself in trouble without knowing why or having any memory of doing anything. Her personalities hampered her relationship with men, however in spite of this, she married and had a daughter. The marriage ended when her husband could no longer deal with the situation. Her second marriage produced her son. She came under the treatment of Doctors Corbett H. Thigpen and Hervey M. Cleckley (authors of "Three Faces of Eve"), who diagnosed her condition and it would be revealed that she had an estimate of up to twenty different personalities within herself. She signed away the rights of her story and received seven-thousand dollars for a film adaptation to be made. Under the pseudonym Evelyn Lancaster, she wrote her memoir "The Final Face of Eve" (1958). The true identity of Eve was revealed during the 1970s and by this time, after many years of therapy, under the care of different doctors, she had been cured of her disorder. She co-wrote (with her cousin) the bestseller "I'm Eve" (1977) and in 1989, she followed it with "A Mind of My Own." In 1982, after leading a relatively secluded life away from the public, she became an advocate of mental health disorders and toured around the country lecturing and creating awareness of Multiple Personality Disorders. She died from a heart attack while in hospice care.
