Madeleine changed my life: please help find agent/her address.


Madeleine was a tremendous actress, but much, more: so tremendous that she changed my life.

Aside from my beloved "The Flying Nun," she took on challenging roles.
My favorite is "Sweet Bird of Youth" by (Sunset Boulevard)Tennessee Williams, she played Miss Lucy--I wish she had a chance to play the the Norma Desmond-like /Princses role--the Princess would have been a Blanche DuBois as an operatic actress, Paul Newman plays a gigolo. The movie is on DVD and Amazon download.

She was also a courageous heroine to me. She came out publicly as a victim of a psychiatrist's abuse.
She showed the world that even a brilliant intellectual can betray his patients, sort of a secular priest.

Her courage inspired me because I too was abused by a psychiatrist: the abuse is abominable in a different way: a priest abuses the soul, but a psychiatrist abuses the soul and the person's consciousness.
I stopped feeling alone and deeply affected that someone else understood my ordeal.

I saw the film again and am desperate to let her know how she changed my life.
It would complete me more and I'm sure it would gladden deeply.

I'd like to learn her agent's (or her) address to thank.

Can anybody help me?

Don’t miss the film!

I was pleasantly surprised when I learned Madeleine Sherwood is Canadian!

If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it copy this and make it your signature!
