The story of Chris Costner Sizemore is the classic case of multiple personality, made famous by The Three Faces of Eve which was written by her doctors and subsequently filmed. But neither book nor film told the whole story. They suggested that Mrs Sizemore was cured, as her doctors believed. Her personality continued to fragment, producing more than 20 separate and distinct ' Eves ' - all strangers to her mind. Colin Coles explains the case of Chris Costner Sizemore who talks to Dr Amedeo Limentani about her struggle for survival. Producer JOHN KNIGHT
