  1. And you know what’s great? I’ve no idea what her politics were, what her sexual or recreational drug habits were and never saw her nipples.

    She just made entertainment the people of all ages, races, etc., etc. could watch and forget their everyday troubles for a while.

    Another passing from a truly bygone age.

  2. Many, many years ago, my daughters and their cousin were in the back of the house playing dress-up. Next thing we know, they’re running into the family room singing, “We’re cousins, identical cousins…”

    It was a proud parenting moment for all of us. 🙂

  3. I think she had her share of ups and downs in life especially with marriages. When I heard the news on the radio, all they said was Patty Duke passed away and she was involved with bipolar activism. WTH! She died from a perforated bowel which she became septic. Ugh, horrible way to go. RIP Patty.

  4. Yup, one of my early crushes. Besides The Miracle Worker [her Best Supporting Actress role], I remember another movie starring her as a young teen track star….”Billie”….I think I’m one of the few people that actually saw it, but she was my “special sweetie”.

    R.I.P., Patty.

  5. She had a bizarre life, going back to when, as a child, her parents literally gave her away to a married couple of “talent managers”. She lived with them and they ran every aspect of her life.
    She was very smart, but she never had a normal life, ever.
    I read her autobiography, “Call me Anna” and it was very well written and interesting.
    RIP, Anna Marie.
