Sybil (TV Movie)

Based on a true story, this powerful and influential miniseries debuted in 1976 to extraordinary response. Sally Field–in an Emmy Award winning and career-turning performance—portrays Sybil Dorsett, a woman suffering from multiple personality disorder.

Joanne Woodward—Emmy nominated for her role—plays the understanding and compassionate psychiatrist who helps Sybil confront her horrific past and eliminate her demons, which are wrapped up in more than 15 distinct personalities.

In addition to Field’s Emmy win, Sybil picked up three other Emmys, including Outstanding Special Comedy or Drama.
