Patty Duke

died today.Remember at the age of 10 watching and loving her show. Maybe because she was a teenager who was having so much fun. Oh and the Miracle Worker  may watch it today.

I just heard this news, so sad I lived her in the movies and her tv show.  What a great actress.  She died from sepsis from a ruptured instestine. RIP

So sad. All the good actors are leaving us.

I couldn't believe she was 69, I still think of her as a kid or at least a young woman.

I just heard this a bit ago.  Very sad way to go.  I didn't hear any details as to her death, but I'm wondering if she was hospitalized for whatever intestinal problems she was having.  RIP, Patty Duke.

I always enjoyed her shows, She was just so full of it and could make a person laughor cry depending on the part she was playing. So sad.

Sad news.  Loved her in the "Miracle Worker", both versions:  the 1962 original where she played Helen and the 1979 made-for-tv remake where she played Helen's teacher, Annie Sullivan (Melissa Gilbert played Helen in that version).  RIP, Miss Duke.  You'll be missed.

Found out that she passed at work, was so sad to hear that.  She was not very old at all.

I just learned that Patty Duke passed away yesterday too.

She wasn't very old.  I enjoyed her on The Patty Duke Show.

She was one of a kind when it came to acting but amazing when it came to human rights

  I love Patty Duke!  She was a real good person.  Her birth name was Anna Marie and she went back to that as an adult in her private life.  I watch "The Patty Duke Show', (1963-1966) at 5 am on "Me TV" a lot, as I have insomnia.
