Val Killmer's movie about Mark twain and Mary Baker Eddy will be the FIRST Major Hollywood film about the Discover, Founder, and Leader of Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy is the ONLY Women Founder of a World Religion. Trivia: Twice before there Almost was a Film about Mary Baker Eddy. In the late 1920's and early 1930's Mary Pickford was chosen to portray Mary Baker Eddy, based on a Script by Arthur Corey. But strangely the Christian Science Board of Directors, was against ANY film about Mrs. Eddy who at that time was publically one of the most well known and respected women in America even though she had been deceased for almost 20 years. Now although known historically as a Religious leader in American history, Mary Baker Eddy is almost totally UNKNOWN to the American Public outside of the members of the Church she founded in the 1879. It will be therefor Very interesting how MBE will be portrayed and even more importantly Who will be chosen to depict this remarkable women and her relationship with Mark Twain.
