For Tim Wardle, director of the documentary ThreeIdenticalStrangers, the last 18 months have been head-spinning
earning nominations in a trio of categories—Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking; Outstanding Picture Editing For a Nonfiction Program, recognizing the work of editor Michael Harte, and Outstanding Directing For a Documentary/Nonfiction Program, for Wardle’s skill behind the camera.
The secret might never have been revealed had not one of the boys, Bobby Shafran, gone off to Sullivan County Community College in 1980.“It was the first day of school,” Shafran remembers in the film. “All these people were coming up to me saying, ‘Eddie, how are you? Eddie, hi!’ And I’m like, ‘My name’s not Eddie. I don’t know what you’re talking about.’”
“There’s that line one says [in the film], ‘We wanted to be alike. We were falling in love with each other.’ It’s like they were playing along with it.” Wardle notes. “The media were focusing on this one aspect of the story that was sort of the obvious selling point and the boys wanted that to be true as well. So they kind of went with it.”The triplets turned into instant celebrities in New York, even scoring a cameo appearance in the 1985 Madonna movie.
