As you get older the one thing for me that I notice the most is the passing of those who were a part of your life . This little lady of television and movies I really liked. Her performance as Helen Keller in the Miracle worker earned her an academy award. She also played a key role in the movie "The Valley of the Dolls". But I liked her most in the TV sit com The Patty Duke Show. I don't know I guess there was just something about her that I liked and I don't really know what it is. I can't pinpoint anything. She reminded me of a girl that I liked when I was just a boy. Sitting in front of the tv as a boy watching the Patty Duke Show I can remember thinking just one thing. "She sure is pretty." Rest in Peace Patty Duke".

I remember her well, from a very young girl, beautiful eyes, very pretty, she had a bit of a
up and down life, seems she suffered from that ailment where you go up way too high, then come
down crashing far too low, but I think a bit later in life they got a handle on that problem.
great actress.

Patty suffered from bipolar disorder and became a great spokes person for those who suffer from mental illness.
Patty's Son Sean Astin is a duplicate of his mother. He is like his mother was, a fine actor. If you ever have the chance to watch the movie "Rudy", you see what I mean. I'm betting Patty is very proud of her son.
I always liked her esp since the character she played on TV was from Brooklyn where I grew up. Of course, her family was upper class and I am strictly ghetto. Still, she was the dream-girl-next-door that never materialized in my life except on tv.

I admired Patty Duke as an actor.
Patty Duke was an outstanding woman.
It is a shame that we never saw the full potential as an actor.
Bipolar is a cruel, cruel disease, and those of us who are also suffering are grateful for the work she did in educating people in the disease.
I hope that she has finally found her peace.

it is true, that Sean Austin, is a wonderful actor.
I have not seen any other of his movies, except for Rudy.
Rudy is one of my favourite movies. I have watched it several times.
Even so, I cry when it comes to the end.
Rudy, Rudy, Rudy.

Today I watched an episode of Patty Duke show which featured Carole Shelyne - Patty voluntarily gave up her role as class president so that Carol could run in her place ~ great episode
that's her to the right - for years she was known as the girl with the goofy glasses and was very funny
