Laura Sargent
Laura Sargent, 50, is Mrs. Eddy’s chief companion and personal aide. She is closest to being an actual peer of Eddy in terms of intellectual and spiritual depth. Laura is a lovely, quiet, accomplished woman who has left her home and a successful, lucrative practice as a Christian Science healer to serve at Pleasant View. Daughter of a New England sea captain, Laura is unflappable during the tempestuous mental storms that often rock Pleasant View.
- Leave a comment to suggest an actor for this role
Jennifer Jason Leigh, Frances McDormand, Kathy Bates or Cate Blanchett
Jane Seymour
Christi Pretzer, this part is made for me
I agree with Marianne. Jane Seymour looks like Laura and displays an intelligent aura.
Mare Winningham
Demi Moore
I agree with the Mare Winningham selection. Seymour is probably a good selection but Seymours “charisma” (in my opinion) would interfere too much with the substance of the role. I don’t want to be distracted by the “transient sense of beauty”…. not saying that Winningham isn’t attractive but i think she will bring a great deal more substance to the character don’t know if anyone agrees .. those are my thoughts.
Mary Steenburgen
Lea Thompson or Peri Gilpin
Mare Winningham
Judy Davis for sure. Intelligent, intense, a great actress.
Mimi Rogers
Emma Thompson
Christine Baranski
Judy Davis
Susan Sarandon
Jane Seymour
Emma Thompson
All strong, lovely women with spiritual depth
This is where I would put Kate Winslet, opposite Streep as Eddy

Toni Collette.
Gabrielle Anwar
Ann Reinking Accomplished actress in the musical theatre her background is amazing Ann would embrace this role and bring this character to life.
in True Grit, the lady who played the girl all grown up. This woman and that woman look very much alike and the actress who played the grown up girl had an inner strength like character to her.
I would love for a chance to audition and play this role! You can visit my IMDb page at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2812754/ Thanks! and good luck to this project.. I find it very intriguing!
Emma Thompson or Francis McDormand are good suggestions.
Tina Bilhorn, a CS Nurse from Princeton, NJ. About as earnest a human being you will ever meet. She is a also a school-trained musican with a beautiful voice.
Allison Janney
Laura Linney
I was thinking Catherine Keener, but Francis McDormand is a very good call.
Meryl streep or Gabrielle Anwar
Molly Parker from the HBO series Deadwood.
Molly Parker from Deadwood.
1. Mare Winningham
2. Emma Thompson
Jane Seymour or
Emma Thompson
I would go with Barbara Hershey. She may have had many surgeries but the woman can act anything u hand her.Now that I look at her she does have the dark eyes and face shape of eddy also.
