Glenn Close' character in the bunny boiler movie (name escapes me, sorry) is "suppose" to be BPD but she seems a little more psychopathic to me.
Thanks for this!

A book I am reading list these as borderline characters:

Blanche Dubois in A Streetcar Named Desire
Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Sally Bowles in Cabaret
Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver
Howard Beale in Network
Carmen in Bizet's opera

I haven't seen half of these and the ones I have seen, it has been years. So i can't tell you how accurate I think it is.
Thanks for this!

I've read that the book (Girl, Interrupted) does a better portrayal idea of borderline than the movie. The only thing you really get from the movie is her lack of a sense of identity and chronic emptiness.

Here's a list of movies with BPD: http://downwardspiralintothevortex.b...rsonality.html
Thanks for this!
