You obviously know nothing about abnormal psychology.  Multiple personality
disorder is a very rare neurosis, but it most certainly does exist outside
Hollywood (or the Great Northwest, for that matter).  Check out the DSM-III-R
(Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mark III - Revised) of psychology for an exact
description.  The movies and the tube may have their statistics wrong about
the frequency of MP Disorder (and how 'bout amnesia? Puh-leeez!), but the
condition itself is entirely fact-based.
