Sybil, the Emmy-winning made-for-TV movie about a psychiatric patient who
lived in Lexington, will be released for the first time on DVD today.

The film tells the story of a young woman with dissociative identity
disorder, formerly known as multiple-personality disorder, because of
childhood abuse and trauma.

The 30th-anniversary edition, starring Sally Field and Joanne Woodward, is
uncut, unlike the VHS edition released in the 1970s. The DVD includes
interviews with Field, who played the suicidal patient with 16
personalities, and Woodward, who played Dr. Cornelia Wilbur, the
psychiatrist who helped form the personalities into one.

The real Wilbur, who was a psychiatry professor at the University of
Kentucky, died in 1992. After Lexington artist Shirley Ardell Mason's death
at her Henry Clay Boulevard home in 1998, it was revealed that she was the
inspiration for the 1973 book by Flora Rheta Schreiber and the 1976 movie.
