Recently I saw a screening of this movie. I recommend to anyone who has been affected by Alzheimer's. This is a movie about a lady who appeared to have the perfect life . Her mother was a famous artist and suffered from the disease. As fate would have, a few years later, she too was diagnosed.

PBS is debuting the movie tomorrow on many affiliates. In my market it is one tomorrow at 10.

The Genius of Marian.

I hadn't heard about this film. It sounds well worth watching, though heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing it with us, ivanatrump.

Hi Ivana and dooB. It is five years ago this weekend that I lost my sister at the young age of 59 to early onset Alzheimer's. I still can't watch programs about this illness. It is such a terrible disease. My prayers to those who's families are affected. LM

A few weeks ago I saw a link to this and put the air date on my calendar.

I will be watching.

So did I. How heartbreaking.

Marian's paintings were so life-like, particularly the eyes.
