Minnie Adelaide Still
Minnie Adelaide Still, (left) 34, is Eddy’s personal maid, who recently emigrated to the US from Somersetshire, England. She is a bright, slender, attractive girl who was forced to earn her way in the world when her education as a teenager was cut short as her family fell into sudden poverty. Eddy appreciates her pluck and is nourished by her quiet, down to earth faith. She and “Adda” share a sweet, girlish bond surrounding the small pleasures Eddy allows herself in a life of spiritual rigor and constant demands.

Kelly MacDonald, Emily Blunt
Emily Blunt
Gwyneth Paltrow, Emma Thompson, and the star of Chicago, whose name escapes me at the moment, but she is very good at British accents. (Diary of Bridget Jones).
Kate Beckinsale.
Claudie Blakley, Julia Sawalha, Victoria Hamilton all from PBS’s Lark Rise to Candleford.
Something about Minnie’s description and look brings to mind Mary-Louise Parker.
Emma Williams – a UK actress who would be ideal in this role. She is an exceptional actress who seems to like unusual roles!
Hillary Swank.

I like the soulfulness of the actress Winona Ryder.
Claire Danes
Anne Hathaway or Keira Knightley
I don’t believe the budget will stretch to having big names for all these roles, and I think it would be great to offer them to talented “unknowns” in the movie/theatre industry who have a connection with Christian Science. I feel this will add to the sincerity of the project too, without compromising on professionalism.
How about this website start compiling a list of such people?
Minnie Driver is the only actress who comes to mind for this role.

Elaine Cassidy – Lydia in ‘The Others’.

Previously, I cast an established actress for this part. Now, after pondering, I would cast myself. I am 51 years old, of sturdy stock, and I am an amateur photographer. I have studied Mary Baker Eddy’s Science and Health book through an introduction and references from Dr. Ernest S. Holmes, who wrote the book Science of Mind. (I have been a student of Truth for 25 years.) I am also a spritual artist. Meaning, I use oil on canvas and acrylic on canvas to create a 3-D effect; and my themes are spiritually based. I have had some shows and bartered my paintings. I am mature, young at heart, capable, well-read, articulate. I have long medium brown hair and a middle European heritage, while first being an American born citizen. My grandparents journeyed through Ellis Island in the early 1900’s.
I believe Mr. Kilmer’s voiced thought during “the Library interview”… that “thousands” of movies should absolutely be made about Mrs. Eddy. Global awareness of these truths is imperative so that our global family may transcend the material, thereby saving our fragile planet and realizing the divinity in all of us.
I also suggest Mr. Kilmer consider making a film about Dr. Ernest Holmes, as well. He would of course be cast as Dr. Ernest Holmes. Thank you.
I would love to play this role!
Thank you

Emily Watson or Toni Collette.
Laura Lapointe is a talented young actress, a student of Christian Science, and is tall, slender, and Minnie’s age. A graduate of the Tisch School, she has had multiple roles singing, dancing, and acting and is ready for a breakthrough role in a mainstage production or film. Just invite her to audition, and you’ll discover her straight-from-the-heart performance skills. She is the one for this role!
Keira Knightley
ME… I can do it !
Jennifer Garner would be great!
Julia Roberts. Renee Zellwiger.
Heather Graham
Rachel Weisz
Samantha Morton – she’s outstanding!
Amy Adams
Elizabeth Banks or unknown………
Perhaps Kate Winslet, Renee Zellweger, or um, Keira Knightly. But for such a small part, would a big name actress really want it?
never mind that “small part” comment, she is high on the list, must be important.
Toni Collette
Judy Davis
I agree–Claire Danes.
Joan Cusack.
Elena Grassel
