What's with the eyelid?


Is her right eyelid a glued-on bit of makeup?
Not sure how else she could do that?

I know this thread is probably too old for a reply but I think she's just keeping her eye closed. Or they used some kind of prosthetic.

But the way the story goes, she has paralysis on the right side of her body and it caused her to have a closed eyes. Some nerve in her eye area was effected.

I saw this film a few days ago and it's pretty good. It has some highly erotic scenes in it though. I don't know much about her condition, I assume she had epilepsy or some form of it and it caused this girl to grab herself, to put it lightly. hehe...

Decent film though, I have to give it a 7.0 out of 10. It's an interesting take on the early days of neurology and why/how some women that suffered from this were accused of demon possession and/or "hysteria".
