If a movie was to be made of your story who would you personally like to see play Richard Baer and you? I think your book is movie material more than Sybil was. More than Three Faces of Eve and more than the new remake of Sybil. Why did they remake Sybil when your story was better? Why is ST not a series instead of USoT? That show is interesting but yours is more.<\/span><\/p>\n
I am in film and one day after I make it big I\u2019m going to call your Richard Baer and produce it. Dream Big! ST is worth it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Marlon,<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for all your compliments! You pose some very interesting questions. I appreciate you believing a movie should be made. I’m not sure who should play us? There are many fine actors\u00a0who could play Dr. Baer, but I think it’s harder to find an actress to play me. Since Dr. Baer was in his thirties and early forties while treating me, and I was in my\u00a0mid twenties to late thirties, I would assume the actor or actress would need to play us at those ages.<\/span><\/p>\n
If I were to choose someone to play Dr. Baer, I would choose someone who would appear stern with comforting dreamy eyes. An actor who could appear emotionless and at the same time calm spirited. Dr. Baer is not very out-going and tends to keep to himself. When he talks, he usually doesn’t look directly at you, yet during therapy his eyes would penetrate right through me with an aura of empathy, sympathy, and understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n
I have no idea who I would pick to play me, but when I asked my friends they said Kate Winslet, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, or\u00a0Drew Barrymore. When I asked them who could play Dr. Baer, my friends said Matt Damon or\u00a0Eric Dane.<\/span><\/p>\n
I have no idea why a re-make was made of Sybil<\/em>. \u00a0Why wasn’t Switching Time<\/em> chosen to be a series? I don’t know. Maybe USoT was already in process before our book was published. Whatever the reason, it was out of\u00a0our control. If we were presented with an offer, most likely we would’ve been excited and felt we were a part of something wonderful. <\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you so much for being enthusiastic and wanting to produce our story! That is very touching and admirable. <\/span><\/p>\n
