Mark Twain & Mary Baker Eddy - A film by Val Kilmer
 

Cast

Laura Sargent

Laura Sargent, 50, is Mrs. Eddy’s chief companion and personal aide. She is closest to being an actual peer of Eddy in terms of intellectual and spiritual depth. Laura is a lovely, quiet, accomplished woman who has left her home and a successful, lucrative practice as a Christian Science healer to serve at Pleasant View. Daughter of a New England sea captain, Laura is unflappable during the tempestuous mental storms that often rock Pleasant View.

    I agree with the Mare Winningham selection. Seymour is probably a good selection but Seymours “charisma” (in my opinion) would interfere too much with the substance of the role. I don’t want to be distracted by the “transient sense of beauty”…. not saying that Winningham isn’t attractive but i think she will bring a great deal more substance to the character don’t know if anyone agrees .. those are my thoughts.
