Not A Single Former Acting Co-Worker Of Patty Duke Has Responded To Her Death

She told them to call her Anna so perhaps "Patty Duke Dead" went unnoticed.

You couldn't add this useless question to an already open PD thread? You thought it needed a thread?

Of course you did. You can use it as a another excuse to talk about other dead actresses of yesteryear.

R2 don't you find it strange that not a single former co-worker has offered condolences?

That is why it should have its own thread.

Melissa Gilbert and Chris coffer did.

Melissa Gilbert, Chris coffer and William Shatner you can fit into a phone booth and are B-list

Anyone else?

All I every cared about is if they said hello to me. It's one of my favorite words, along with enthusiasm and thank you. I too was taught not to say thank you for far too long.

Patty had to come crawling back to TV once the 70s rolled around, so of course her former co-stars are going to be B-list.

Cast members of that Disney show she just on have said something

Boys these people are really late in their condolances

It's obvious many of the A and B-List stars she worked with are dead: Anne Bancroft, Sharon Tate, Susan Hayward, etc.

That just might have something to do with it R10.

No one from the Love Boat? She appeared so often on that show that she was almost a regular

You won't hear a word out of that bitch, Barbara Parkins' mouth. She was so jealous of Patty, and always hated the fact Patty stole the limelight in VOTD.

Both Helen Hunt and Anthony Edwards (who both played her children on It Takes Two) no comment.

Did Sean Astin tell you personally that no one has called the family or sent a note or flowers? Not every fool tweets or makes their expressions of sympathy public.

And as predicted, the OP wastes no time trotting out dead actresses as seen in R10...

r13 You're right. The cunt hasn't said a word. Drop her a line and let her know how you feel. Barbara is not a nice person.

R16 read R14

And I can come up with a list of people still living that haven't said one word

r16 It was to make a point asshole. Another DL troll with nothing to add to the thread but bitch about something trivial.

R19 not offering condolences publicly is not trivial

OK, how about the married ones?

Barbara Parkins did make a comment on Facebook. Rosie O'Donnell just contributed $5,000 to Sean astin's Mental Health initiative in his mom's name.

That's terrible! WTF?!!!!!

Sorry that should have been Rosie O'Donnell contributed $500

Who R18?

By the way, the OP is not entirely wrong. Mia Farrow who tweets about every frigging thing never mentioned a word about her death.

All of Patty's ex- husbands and Desi Jr are alive, why haven't they said anything?

Anne Bancroft is truly despicable for not extending condolences. .....she's dead to me.

Most of her acting co-workers have died

Did the identical cousin issue a statement?

Ricky Paull Goldin played her son as well and wrote a beautiful tribute on his Facebook page.

George Takei posted his condolences on fb along with pic of them wearing Trek gear.

Has Cathy made a statement?

[quote] Melissa Gilbert, Chris coffer and William Shatner you can fit into a phone booth and are B-list

Hon, which A list actors did Patty Duke work with who could give testimonials?

[quote] All of Patty's ex- husbands and Desi Jr are alive, why haven't they said anything?

Harry Falk is 83. Their marriage lasted only 4 yrs and Patty was a mess.

[quote] In 1965, Duke married director Harry Falk, who was 13 years her senior. During their marriage, she had repeated mood swings, drank heavily, became anorexic and overdosed on pills a number of times. The couple divorced in 1969.

Duke married Michael Tell on June 26, 1970, in order to "give (her child) a name". Their marriage lasted 13 days before ending in an annulment on July 9, 1970; Duke said the marriage was never consummated.

John Astin is 86.

What exactly do expect from two octogenarians and man to whom she was married for only 13 days?

Anne Bancroft sends her love.

Suzanne Pleshette is not the woman I thought she was.

Patricia Neal, Richard Crenna, Jean Byron, Nancy Marchand and Paul Burke have all died . . . but what about Lee Grant?

If Sharon Tate or Anne Bancroft had an ounce of class, they would've put aside any petty grievances and taken the time to eulogize a national treasure. Shame on them. And shame on John Astin too...he had children with Patty and now is not the time to play the role of bitter ex-husband.

No one's mentioned that bitch who played Cathy Lane.

R26 Mia Farrow did mention Patty's passing on Twitter.

Anne Bancroft's Facebook page hasn't been updated in years!

Susan Hayward, we are in pain! Please comfort us in our time of grieving!

Susan's the understudy. I want to hear from JUDY?!?!?!?!

Not everybody tweets, ding dong.

Most people have no idea who she was. Why would celebrities on Twitter care?

We're still waiting on Anne's condolence tweet. That bitch.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure nonagenarian William Schallert is not a regular Twitter user.

I understand Eddie Applegate is inconsolable.

Sean is certainly playing this up. Mackenzie's tweeted a simple thank you note. Sean's on a talking tour and crowdfunding for a charity in Patty's name.

When oh when will the television casts of "Madam President' and "Karen's Song" finally weigh in?

"I extend my sincere condolences to Patty Duke's family and fans. We have lost a national treasure."

Happy now, OP?

Her funeral will be in Idaho.

Has Lisa Whelchel tweeted her condolences to MacKenzie?

I met Patty shortly before I was murdered by the Kennedy's, not long after she won her Oscar. Maybe now we can get to know each other better.

That bitch Dionne Warwick has not uttered a word about Duke's death, even though she owes much of her success to Valley of the Dolls.

OP is one of those grief fraus who needs to share every R.I.P. post on her FB pages for any celebrity she's heard of.

Wiliam Schallert's twitter account is always about nothing other than hiphop and electronica.

Has Angela Lansbury weighed in?

[quote] Duke married Michael Tell on June 26, 1970, in order to "give (her child) a name".

Which was all kinds of weird, since she wasn't pregnant when she married him, nor did she give her child Tell's name.

Another little white lie

Ghost Lucy called her a manipulative lying bitch.

Is the reason she was so adamant that Desi being Sean's father is because out of Michael Teller and John Astin, Desi was the attractive one? She steadfastly refused to believe the results of the DNA test.

"Most people have no idea who she was"? A world in which people don't know who Patty Duke is, is not a world I want to live in.

Can I have your stuff?

[quote]condolances

Oh dear.

If Debbie Reynolds were able to sprint from her wheelchair, she would've been first with memories of someone she never worked with.

I am saddened that I will no longer be able to post that role should have been Patty Duke's.

[quote] Hon, which A list actors did Patty Duke work with who could give testimonials?

Not A-list but some of her co-stars included Helen Hunt, Ally Walker. Roma Downey, Martin Sheen, Lainie Kazan, Dan Lauria, Anthony Edwards, Barry Bostwick,

I can go on?

Lucy's Twitter account has been suspiciously inactive.

Anne Bancroft's fine! She sends her love!

"Duke married Michael Tell on June 26, 1970, in order to "give (her child) a name". Their marriage lasted 13 days before ending in an annulment on July 9, 1970."

At least she had a date for the 4th of July.

Maybe she was not particularly liked? Usually if someone passes was beloved, but in this case maybe no one really knew her closely enough to care? Her biggest fame need around the 70's, which is almost 50 years ago. RiP

What did Ross say?

What's the dirt on her feud with Susan Hayward during Valley of the Dolls? I always felt Hayward stole that movie and that no one else could've done that campy scenery chewing as pitch perfect as Hayward.

She's having the memorial service in April in Idaho, I think Melissa Gilbert is one of the guest speakers.

r75 Patty said that Susan accidentally fell during the famous ladies room catfight scene in VOLD, and Hayward always felt Patty did it on purpose.

No, R54, but Mindy Cohn did.

[quote] Melissa Gilbert, Chris coffer and William Shatner you can fit into a phone booth and are B-list

Well, Anne Bancroft is dead, as are most of the people she co-starred with back in the day. Surely you didn't expect a statement from Sharon Tate or Susan Hayward, did you?

Sharon Tate was a b-movie actress.

R79 read R69

Anne Bancroft is dead?!?!

No, she's alive and well, and living in Paris.

[quote]No, [R54], but Mindy Cohn did.

She's done more to get a taco out of the garbage can.

R2 here. Any questions?

Pardon me for the delay. I have piles and these French doctors, well, you know. But Luise Rainer, who has lost her voice lately, joins me in releasing the following statement:

[quote] So young.

My only take away from this thread is that Mr. Lane is still alive.

She had bad breath and was conceited

Has anyone found out why her intestines exploded?

Nathan Lane is the King of Broadway! Of course, he's alive.

[quote] Not A-list but some of her co-stars included Helen Hunt, Ally Walker. Roma Downey, Martin Sheen, Lainie Kazan, Dan Lauria, Anthony Edwards, Barry Bostwick, I can go on?

Why would you, since as you yourself admit not [bold]one[/bold] of them is A-list? I was responding to r5's compliant only B-list actors had responded to Patty's death.

Re: R88, Did Bancroft really say that?!

HOw damn DUMB are some of you to not know that both Pleshette AND Bancroft have been dead a number of years???

I love you, R83.

[quote] HOw damn DUMB are some of you to not know that both Pleshette AND Bancroft have been dead a number of years???

Bless your cotton socks.

I have a question....why was Patty Duke so very very wrinkled? It was to the point of bizarre. And very tiny crinkles & wrinkles all over her face and neck, as if she were 102 years old. She really was very homely in middle age onward. She must have had a good personality and/or money to keep her husband of 30 years. And the butch hair-cut she sported in her 60's was homely.

Mental illness can age people quicker, not to mention smoking.

[quote]why was Patty Duke so very very wrinkled?

Sun definitely. She was always out in the sun with a tan.

I think it was a combination of why Patty Duke had wrinkles to the extent that she did. The combination was smoking which she was a heavy smoker, even some would say a chain smoker, lithium (which she took since the 1980s) which has a cause and effect to cause wrinkles and that's fair Irish skin and it's probably was a little bit hereditary. She definitely was not a sun person.

R96 I totally agree that Butch haircut did not do her any justice. She should have kept it longer somewhat like the way Sally Fields wears hers.

R99, you're a dreamboat. You write the way common people talk! So refreshing.

A mere child, but one of the greats. See you n about twenty years, Anna!

I did always appreciate that Patty did not have any sort of surgery or procedures to try to make herself look younger, I actually think it helped her career wise in the 90s and early 00s as she seemed to be everywhere on tv playing everyone's grandma. Tyne Daly took a similar approach, as well. Though, I suppose since neither were ever considered great beauties in their day, there was probably less pressure to 'stay young'.

[quote]She definitely was not a sun person.

Her dark skin came from her African American father.

Can your intestines explode if you suffer from severe constipation? I ask because I'm having this problem due to a new medicine I'm taking. It hurts so bad, I can hardly move or breathe.

And what is a bowel obstruction? Are they talking about shit and constipation with that diagnosis?

Has anyone here exploded in MacKenzie's colon?

Oh GAWD! Not another exploded colon! Who will be #3???

R101 jealous much?

My father had a bowel obstruction two years ago. He'd been constipated for a few days, and then developed such severe pain abdominal pain (blood pressure shot through the roof) that we took him the ER. After two days of non-surgical treatment (which didn't work), he had surgery, which is now done laparoscopically.

It turned out to be an "easy fix" (surgeon's words). The culprit was scar tissue from an appendectomy, in 1945, while he was in boot-camp! Over time, his intestine had become twisted around the scar tissue, creating a pinch....and all they had to do was untwist it; no cutting. The surgeon was extremely pleased! Going in, we'd been warned that they might need to remove part of his intestine (depending what they found), and he would require a colostomy bag the rest of his days. But that didn't happen, and he came through the surgery like a champ! Vitals strong, and was relatively alert, all things considered (86, mild-dementia). He understood that he was in a hospital, and why he'd had surgery (he remembered the abdominal pain), and sorta chuckled/smirked at the fact that the boot-camp appendectomy was the cause of it all (a beloved family story). Things were looking good, we felt cautiously optimistic.......

Unfortunately, my dad never made it out of the hospital. He developed pneumonia within 24 hours, post-op, and died 23 days later. Technically, the bowel obstruction/surgery didn't kill him. The material backed up in his intestine did eventually evacuate, a few days after the surgery.......but it was the beginning of the end.

A link for R105. The more you know, and all that.....

at what post number is the discussion of Patty Duke's bowel obstruction? or discussion of her cause of death - sepsis from intestinal obstruction?

While watching some $25,000 Pyramid clips tonight, I happened across an episode with Patty Duke.

Thank you, R111. She is lovely there. Even when she's just a contestant on a game show, she is so watchable and charming.

"Someone has sent me a BOWEL MOVEMENT!"

Patty as the mystery guest on WML? in 1972. Two years after that notorious Emmy acceptance speech, she was a totally different person.

You know that she worked with actors that were 10 to 20 years YOUNGER than her?

[quote] I suppose since neither were ever considered great beauties in their day,

Actually, Tyne was when she was in her 20s.

Did Barbara Parkins get along with Sharon Tate, at least, or was she bitter with her too?

R118 Barbara Parkins was Sharon Tate's maid of honor at her marriage to Roman.

[quote] [R26] Mia Farrow did mention Patty's passing on Twitter.

I believe she said- How sad that another person who didn't molest my daughter has died while that scumbag still lives to make another terrible film.

Here's a clip from thirty years ago.

I still can't believe she is gone

She was a lifelong chain smoker. Hard to have sympathy for someone who continues to smoke after heart surgery...

Anna was good people.

We Miss you Anna Patty Duke Pearce!

Patty Duke, a national treasure.

The diseased ridden whore ruined my rep and killed my acting career

Here she is with Merv and Joe E Miller

R5,

What's a phone booth?

Stupid, R127.

"Diseased ridden whore"?

I enjoyed seven out of ten of her personalities.

Because bipolar is the same as dissociative identity disorder, R131?

Idiot.

Ableism is one of the last acceptable prejudices.

They resented the stench from her undercarriage due to poor hygiene choices

Odd.

Yes, you are R135

Susan Dey later said she was too emotional to tweet at the time.

"Duke married Michael Tell on June 26, 1970, in order to "give (her child) a name"

Shauntelle?

I was already dead, but if you can't say anything nice...

If there are plans to give Miss Duke any type of award or recognition since her passing, I am more than happy to accept them on her behalf. My references for this work include the 1963 Oscars when I won, I mean accepted for Anne Bancroft while Miss Davis tried to overdose in the green room.

I miss two celebrities who have died: Joan Rivers and Patty Duke. Patty was the best.
