Patty Duke

I never cared for her

Stop it OP

Stop what?

She had great hair.

Patty Duke, a national treasure.

So datalounge has lost interest in the great Patty Duke?

Yes.

r12 I adore everyone's hair and costume in that movie. I may buy a copy for my birthday.

[quote]So datalounge has lost interest in the great Patty Duke?

There have been quite a few threads on her lately

[quote][R12] I adore everyone's hair and costume in that movie. I may buy a copy for my birthday.

There's apparently a new DVD with a zillion extras.

I bought the 2006 one and it's also got a zillion (terrific) extras and therefore worth every penny. Could't get the newest one where I live.

A lot of DVD extras are disappointing and thin - NOT the case here. They're fantastic.

Sexy in Valley Of The Dolls.

I know it's cumbersome and impractical but i wish this big hair style would come back. It looked so fun on celebrities and in movies.

Patty Duke was all pumped up to become a big film star with the release of "Valley Of The Dolls" and possibly even being elevated to Patricia Duke. Dolls was a mess and it shattered forever her ambition to become a bonafide big name actress. But she still worked consistently in television and did some good work.

She was an absolute doll.

[quote] Dolls was a mess and it shattered forever her ambition to become a bonafide big name actress.

One bad film and she was never able to do a big movie again?

& in spite of proving herself in TV films straight away?

Seems strange.

[quote]I know it's cumbersome and impractical but i wish this big hair style would come back. It looked so fun on celebrities and in movies.

Yes.

I love the big hair, boots, and mini skirts look! And of course boobies, boobies, BOOBIES!

The 1960's was such an amazing decade for fashion, such rapid change and timeless trends. I may need to binge watch Mad Men tonight.

[R23] - Binge watching That Girl is also recommended. Marlo was the epitome of kicky in her Werles and Cardinalis.

Ann Marie had nothing on me!

Thanks r24 I'm 25 so I'm not familiar with the classics, though I'm learning a lot from DL!

As a former labor leader she would have given an anti-Trump speech and been great!

R20 I know strange. I don't think she even knew why.

[quote]There's apparently a new DVD with a zillion extras.

I just checked because of there was a new edition, I'd have bought it. The new edition is "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls".

[quote]The 1960's was such an amazing decade for fashion, such rapid change and timeless trends. I may need to binge watch Mad Men tonight.

That's just fake 60s. Much if it is off.

Yes, if you're an airhead.

If you love that period and very 60s looking gurls check out Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.

Valley Of The Dolls brought her great joy in the end & many friends.

SHE was a doll.

No, THIS >>>

Wow Jan 29th was 10 months that Patty Duke died. Where does the time go?

Bump

Please, can we show a little more. . . . . . . . . enthusiasm?

The best words I was taught are love thank you and enthusiasm

Bump

Bump

Yawn

R39 never 😘

It will be 50 years in December that VOLD was released.

[quote]i know that bitch Barbara Parkins ill try to steal the show.

It will probably easier for her, than Patty, all things considered.

r42 True, maybe Parkins will drop dead before December.

Making the headlines back in '67 >>

I read it as Datty Puke. No I am not dyslexic.

Bump

What's to miss? She was painful to watch.

As will be your screeching demise in a grease fire. But we'll still watch.

O.P.

Didn't Patty Duke get beheaded by ISIS on the internet. I remember watching it and thinking it was the best acting she'd ever done.

Since there is no February 29 today / tomorrow would be 11 months that she passed away 😔

You know, it's funny. When I was about, I don't know, 7 years old I first became aware of Patty Duke. I remember her hosting the New York portion of the MDA Telethon with John Astin for several years running. Something attracted me to her. There was a warmth, a tone of voice, a look. I can't even put my finger on it. Soon after I remember loving when I would see her on Match Game, or Tattletales, and I remember being home sick from school one day and being enthralled by her in The Swarm, and later as Anne Sullivan in the TV remake of Miracle Worker (still haven't seen the original)..

When I saw the out sized outpouring here when she died it made sense to me. We all felt that attraction. I felt it years and years before I ever saw Valley of the Dolls, which I didn't see till I was in the 20s. Maybe it was we knew instinctively she was a survivor from those horrible managers who abused her, and we related.

R52 thank you from all the Patty Duke fans, beautifully written.

that's SENTA BERGER in a scene from the 1967 film THE AMBUSHERS

Then join her, OP.

R55 there really must be something wrong with you to wish that on anybody. What has life done to you that has made you so sad?

Bump

Great actress. Big loss. Patty was outstanding and one of the last of the good ol' broads.

Very true R58

It was so nice to see the Academy pay tribute to Patty Duke during the In Memoriam segment. I mean, rightfully so--they should have acknowledged her especially as a former Oscar winner. I was just pleased that they didn't overlook her since she died last March, and sometimes people get left out. But there she was, the unforgettable Patty Duke.

Who?

Bump

I cannot believe that Patty Duke is dead a year today 😔

Valley of the Dolls was released on blu ray by Criterion. The extras are taken from the standard DVD release with a few new ones

" then someone put her name in 'lights' and turned her into a lush ....... "

No one else thinks that day is a day of mourning

*today

Looking a bit disheveled in My Sweet Charlie

R68 that was the character.

Duh, no kidding.

That's why I said it was from My Sweet Charlie.

Oh R70 you are so witty with your duh 😀🌷

Bump

Bump

We remember people who died, and then life has a strange way of moving on and the person is forgotten. Patty Duke isn't one of them. She is one who will long be remembered and missed. There wasn't anybody like Patty Duke. Great actress. Big loss.

Joan Rivers was another who made her mark and hasn't been forgotten. Same with Judy Garland, who lives on too and can't be replaced--even more so than Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis and Frank Sinatra.

Duke might not have had the film career that might have been expected of her, she managed to win Emmys for her work in MY SWEET CHARLIE, as Anne Sullivan in the MIRACLE WORKER, for THE WOMEN'S ROOM and my favorite as Bernadette in CAPTAINS & THE KINGS.

As for VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, Duke made her peace with Neely O'Hara. On location shoots for television movies, she would invite the entire cast and crew in to watch VALLEY OF THE DOLLS and would answer everyone's questions. She even paid for the pizza.

I will admit that I would like to have seen Duke play Neely when she (Duke) was physically and mentally healthy

Sally Field swept in and took over Patty Duke's movie career. Think about it. I'm not saying Sally wasn't great, but you could easily imagine Patty in almost all of Field's film roles, including Norma Rae and Steel Magnolias. I bet Duke would have been just as good. Just a different interpretation.

Correction: I should have written "just as great!"

I love both of them.

Patty Duke should have played the role of Violet, the mother in August: Osage County. Patty would have been perfect in the role, and would have been much more suited than Meryl Streep. Yes, Meryl is a great actress, but the role of Violet was not for her. It belonged to Patty, who certainly could have played the role on Broadway.

R74 R75 R76 R78 I love you all

I posted on the anniversary of her death.

The response was pitiful.

Made me feel very ashamed of DL.

Or maybe they were just posting on here.

I take it back, sort of.

I like how she was depicted on Feud. I wonder if she really brought her dog to the ceremony? And they said she won it at age 17, but I thought she was younger when she won the Oscar.

R82 she was 16 not 17. And no she did not carry the dog around in a purse. But, the dog did go to the Oscars with her managers.

Thanks R83

R84 you are welcome

Patty still holds sway on DL. I'm proud of you, boys. Patty was one of the greats.

My favorite tv performance of hers was Always Remember I Love You opposite Joan Van Ark.

The dog was her manager's, Patty hated that dog and she was actually furious because her managers wouldn't let her mother come to the Oscars but they brought the dog.

r88 - Patty was very vocal about Bambi being a bitch.

R87 one of mine too

This was a good one >>

R91 agree

Her undercarriage always smelled vaguely of vomit 🤢

R93 go away a**hole

Bumper

Still smells of vomit 🤢

R96 still showing you are an a**hole 😀

The vomit smell was acrually an improvement over the smell from her BPD days that was more like a combo of friskies and an ashtray full of crushed pall mall butts...😱

Make him go away, R97.

PLEASE!!- [bold]MAKE HIM GO AWAY![/bold]

Bumping for smelly undercarriages

R100 are you Barbara Parkins?

Bumped

Yesterday was 13 months that Patty Duke left us

And that smell has yet to dissipate

R104 Barbara Parkins please take your meds

That's Barb to you, shit bra

R106 I thought Melissa Gilbert was shit bra

Bumped

🤢😱☠️

Patty was one of the greats.

R110 totally agree. I wish Hollywood would have seen it and known it too.

I grew up watching and adoring Patty Duke. When she passed away, it was like losing an old friend.

RIP, Patty.

Yeah... that's what we keep hearing

Miss her

Still gnawing on that bone, are we???

Love Patty. A great actress and a great human being. Patty remains in the collective conscience of America.

Sure, Jan

Do you think it's too early for Patty Duke's husband to have moved on, because he did...

Good for him

I was crushed when I realized that Patty's cousin Cathy wasn't a real person.

what do you mean, R118?

R121 he already has a new live in girlfriend.

How do you know?

I hope he had the good sense to take a fire hose to the undercarriage of his new lady friend...

What is an under carriage? Lol

Oh, hon

Patty was one of the best. Most times, you move on and celebrity icons become great memories. But there are a few for me who I really miss. Patty is one of them. Joan Rivers is another. And Princess Diana remains the one I think I'll always miss.

Great thread in honor of Patty Duke.

Patsy is not an icon

Her shitty show isn't even in syndication and hasn't been for decades (if it ever was)

R128. Patty'show was landmark. She became the youngest Oscar winner at the time for The Miracle Worker. Definitely landmark. And Patty Duke as Neely O'Hara is iconic.

90% of those under 60 years old couldn't even pick her photo out of a lineup

Ended up doing just TV movies and series.

Unknown outside the USA (& maybe Canada).

Very likeable and warm character.

R129 I guess you don't get an Antenna TV because the Patty Duke Show it was shown twice, once at 11am and then at 1130am

That just proves the point, R133:

It's on some obscure channel only recently and only watched by the elderly shut-ins...

Where was it back in the 80s when sitcoms of that era dominated daytime tv and even late night?

It was nowhere to be found because nobody was interested.

R134 ever hear of Nick at Nite?

Ha ha

That's where patsy belongs:

3am with Urkel and Tiffany the robot!

R118 How do you know this?

I think her husband was eight years younger than her, so it makes sense he has moved on.

Bump

"Always Remember We Love You", Patty!

Except for that nasty smell

R141 give it up already a***hole

Oh, the irony

[quote]Missing her 😥

As one does.

R144 Yes

R145 is a nutty nutcase and I love him for it.

MID-life Patty >>>

If only they could have weaponized the stench coming from her tender areas:

ISIS would resign within 36 hours of exposure!

R146 😀😘

Patty Duke...one of my all-time favorites along with Mary Tyler Moore.

May 29 marked 14 months Ms. Duke passed away 😔. Where does the time go?

You'd think that stench would start to dissipate after 14 months!

🤢

Bump

Isn't she a Senator from Washington?

No r153 she was one of America's great actresses whose life was cut short at the age of 69.

Certainly America's smelliest fake star

Blech...🤢

Patty Duke was the best. A shining star greatly missed.

Patty was a tard with hygiene issues

what's with the Patty Duke hate?

Gay men either terrified or jealous of female genitalia, r158.

As is the case with those suffering panic or pathology, they are consistent, and in this case, persistent.

[quote]Missing her 😥

As one does, OP. As. one. does.

Not missing that awful aroma

🤢

Bumped

gurl, you should be over it by now.

move on.

I was in the first grade when The Patty Duke show was on. My older brother and I loved it. My sweet Mom bought us a Patty Duke album. Years later my Mom said she wanted to smash that album because we played it over an over. We must have. I'm 60 and I think I can remember every word to every song on that album.

Don't worry sad sacks:

Her legendary stench will live forever!

Are you talking about her scent called younger than springtime 😘

Say what you want about Patty, at least she didn't die with a slew of hard drugs in her like her fellow bi polar sufferer did.

That just made her stupid

R168 which one?

Today is 15 months that the wonderful and deeply missed Patty Duke is dead 😔

Forever Patty. Forever Anna. Loved her. Both of them.

Forever raw sewage stench

bump

Today is 16 months that the Great Patty Duke passed away. I still can't believe it 😔

LIAR

Missing Patty

It's too bad she never learned how to act.

I tried to teach her but she sounded funny

I'm Patty Duke!

Call me ANNA!

Patty Duke was the best. Miss her.

R186 here. That should be, today marks 19 months since Patty Duke passed away. 😞

Missing Patty Duke

Was there an outpouring of grief when she died and I missed it? Same with Mary Tyler Moore, I don't remember any major tributes.

Both deaths were all over the media, esp Mary Tyler Moore's.

Bumped

I cannot believe that in 4 days Patty Duke will be dead 20 months. How sad is that 😞

Patty missed another Thanksgiving. Great ol' gal.

[quote]I cannot believe that in 4 days Patty Duke will be dead 20 months. How sad is that 😞

I think you're probably a depressing person.

I don't want to keep being reminded - but you keep bumping this thread.

R195 you are right, I can't get over her passing 😞

The last time I saw Patty was when CNN dragged her out to talk about Robin Williams suicide. She looked like she was in her early eighties.

R197 she was already starting to get sick

What's to miss? Was she ever in anything good besides The Miracle Worker? And I don't even like that one. It's one of the Oscar winners (her and Bancroft) that just isn't any fun to watch.

She only did TV movies after VOTD.

R199 did you ever hear of a movie called Valley of the Dolls? R200 what's wrong with TV movies?

Her best work was the Patty Duke show. There really did seem to be two different actresses playing Patty and Cathy.

This cunt again?

[quote] [R200] what's wrong with TV movies?

It meant she had little fame outside the USA, for one.

Wow today is 20 months since Anna Patty Duke Falk Tell Astin Pearce passed away 😔

How did sean astin turn out so fug? Patty was a babe in her youth.

R206 when he isn't fat, he is also a babe 😁

He’s been portly since 1993

Love Patty Duke 😀

Omg r76—you are so correct. I never thought about it but Field and duke are truly similar types!

Bump

Today would have been Patty Duke's 71st birthday.🎂 Miss you very much Anna Marie Duke Falk Tell Astin Pearce❤

Just watched Patty Duke in the movie, Me, Natalie , what a great, moving performance. I cannot believe that the Oscars did not nominate her, though she did win a Golden Globe award for that performance.

This cunt again?

So what happened to her? I know, sepsis, but could it have been avoided?

I've wondered the same. There must have been something chronic that weakened her.

R215 and R216 it was sepsis that resulted from a burst intestine. She had been sick with stomach problems for about a year. I don't think it was cancer, because I think they would have said so. But, I believe that she did not get the best care. Maybe if she was still living in LA, things would have been different, no offense to North Idaho doctors.

Patty should have played Violet, the mother, in August: Osage County. She would have been perfect instead of Meryl.

R218 totally agree.

Why didn't she stop George Clooney from molesting her son?

It’s been 20 minutes since anyone remembered to forget this old bag!

R120 R121 Barbara Parkins?

Patty Duke deserved a Golden Globe posthumously. Just because.

R223 well since the SAG Awards are on next week and even though she was given a mentioned in the memoriam section last year, I still think that the SAG Awards should have an award named after her. This award could be given to an actor or actress who has contributed to the Mental Health Community.

Aren’t you precious...

R225 if you are talking to me then I thank you because I am.🍸🍸🍸

Bump

She hated Charlotte Rae because she was suppose to replace her on the Facts of Life, but Charlotte put her "good pal" Chloris in instead.

R228 fake news

Bump because the SAG Awards were on and Patty Duke was the second woman president of their Union

Patty deserves a SAG Award posthumously. Because she was a great actress.

R231 agree 100%

I agree too - profusely.

This cunt AGAIN?

R234 Barbara Parkins Isn't it past your bedtime by now? LOL

Patty Duke has been dead 1 year and 10 months today Still missing her every day 😔

Pathetic

Patty would have hated Trump.

Patty would have proudly serviced Trump’s cock

From the old SUMMER STOCK MEMORIES thread in the archives:

************************** I sometimes acted as a baby sitter. For adults and for children. When John Astin and Patty Duke Astin travelled around with their production of MY FAT FRIEND, they brought their combined families with them, five kids plus a nanny. It was difficult find a place to take them out to eat. They both were very popular from their TV and movie careers, and they insisted on bring the kids with them, so the restaurant had to appeal to the kids’ tastes as well. In the town of Bourne, there was very nice casual restaurant located near a local yacht club. It was the kind of place where you sailed in from Nantucket, had lunch with your other sailing buddies, and then headed out for an afternoon trip to Martha’s Vineyard. I had reserved a table for the family, and when we arrived, despite my request fro a quiet corner, they had placed us in the center of the room.

Mr. Astin sat at the head of the table. Patty sat in the middle of one side of the table, next to her two smallest children (Sean and Mackenzie) and the nanny. I sat on the other side of the table, with the older kids. I had forgotten how demanding and loud kids could be, and the Astin family was no exception. They were a handful. Of course, other patrons began to notice John Astin (he’s very recognizable) and I could hear the whispers and see the heads turn. Now Patty was another matter. She was very tiny, and without makeup looked very young, and she was hidden among the kids.

I was annoyed when some guy came over during the middle of the meal, and introduced himself to Mr. Astin. He blustered about how his family loved them, and commented on how nice it was to see the Astins out as a family having their lunch. Mr. Astin smile amicably and said nothing. Then the guy said “I’m really disappointed that your wife’s not here. We loved her in VALLEY OF THE DOLLS and in THE MIRACLE WORKER.”

Patty was sitting right across from me, her head down, and all the kids participated in this charade with glee. Mr. Astin said “Thank you very much. I’ll be sure to pass on your kind compliments to her.” He the turned to Patty and said “Anna, eat your vegetables!” We all burst out laughing.

R240 I remember reading the story on that thread and I love reading it again on this thread

February 14 a new book about Patty Duke and her life and career will be out.

Patty Duke is in this week's Closer magazine.

The new Patty Duke book is out. It's a good read but it's not juicy. But I would still recommend it because she does give her opinion and thoughts on many famous people.

thanks for the link, R244.

R247 great just what datalounge needs a awful picture of Patty Duke.

It's a link to the article you were referring but did not link.

You don't seem to get how this site works.

R249 I know how the site works, I'm just saying that it's not a great picture.

Since there is no February 29 just wanted to remember the great actress Patty Duke on the anniversary of her passing, 23 months ago.

bump

Has anyone read the new book written by Patty Duke and a co-author called in the presence of greatness?

Bump

Wow next week it will be 2 years that Patty Duke passed away 😔

She was before my time but i remember watching this early 1990's Lifetime movie about a haunted house. It's a pretty good ghost story.

Obsessives.

How come no one remembers me? I was bi polar also.

March 29 is coming.

Still miss Patty.

2 days

Yeah, R258, but Patty was also an ACTRESS.

Patty died the same week as my mother. I miss them both.

R262 sorry for your loss.

I cannot believe that Anna Patty Duke Falk Tell Astin Pearce is Dead 2 years today 😔

Bump

i am currently reading this book. she has some great stories....

she really let Barbra Parkins have it because BP wanted the Neely O Hara role in the movie.....sounds like Patty did not care much for Miss Parkins much....did you know she is only 5' 4"?

I liked the book but it needs to be juicer. I heard an interview with her co-worker who said there were other people he wanted her to talk about, but she didn't want to do that kind of book. 😔

R267, My copy arrived today. My God, is there anyone she doesn't write about? In the chapter on Liza, I was hoping Patty would have mentioned if they ever compared notes on Desi, Jr. and his big, fat Cuban cock.

R268 that's the problem she doesn't talk about any real gossip.

I had it worse.

Hell, even my living room rug had it worse than her.

Still missing Patty Duke 😡

[quote] I had it worse. Hell, even my living room rug had it worse than her. —Sharon Tate

You mean because of the murders or because your husband was probably screwing little girls on that rug?

How many times do I watch a TV show and say Patty Duke could have played that part. Still very sad from her passing.

Is Cathy still with us? She seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth.

Ya'll seem to think VOTD was the only movie I did after winning an Oscar.

Patty Duke's birthday (Dec 14) should be a national holiday.

R276 100% agree

She was a national treasure before we started calling people a national treasure.

R278. Yes, she was, still is.

Why?

Tomorrow will be 2 years that Patty Duke has passed away, terrible, very sad. Rest in peace Anna Patty Duke Falk Tell Astin Pearce

Sorry that should be 2 years and and 2 months 😔

What no more Patty Duke love anymore?

Broadway, Hollywood films, small screen features, an Academy Award winner, and a HELL of a game show partner!

She did it ALL!

I recently visited my local Social Security office, with some elderly relatives, and I was surprised to see they still had Patty's Social Security ads up in multiple places.

R286 and don't forget 3 Emmy Awards two or maybe three Golden Globe Awards and numerous numerous nominations 😀

Patty should have payed Violet, the mother, in "August: Osage County." She would have been perfect. It would have been a Tony-winning triumphant return to Broadway, and she would have won the Oscar for the movie.

I just realized that I missed commenting on the 29th the day That Patty Duke died, which still resonates as a very sad day for me 😔 I cannot believe that it is 2 years and 5 months. She is truly missed by Millions and I am hoping the members of datalounge will never forget her.

I love this thread actually, despite it being slightly over the top (like Neely O'Hara)

Patty was a good egg. Charming and refreshingly honest. The world is worse off without her-

I love remembering her.

She was indirectly responsible for Sharon Tate s death. Sharon and Roman Polanski were renting Patty s house. Patty Duke was splitting from her husband. She needed to sell the house for the community property settlement. Sharon wanted to buy it but Roman Polanski and Patty s ex husband couldnt come to terms on price. Roman was at that particular moment cash poor, which impacted the negotiations ,So Sharon had to vacate and find something fast, especially as just at that time she discovered that she was pregnant. They moved about 6 blocks away to cielo drive and the rest is as they say history.

R302 read Patty Duke new book, in the presence of greatness, and you will see what she says about Sharon Tate and buying her house.

Very sorry to hear about the death of Burt Reynolds. Not sure if many of you know, but Burt Reynolds did a guest appearance on Patty Duke's short-lived TV show, Amazing Grace

Bumper

No more love for the late Patty Duke

A timely bump. I spent the weekend in Palm Springs where I got chatting to the bartender about the history of the bar/celebrities who frequented. Long story short he had me and my boyfriend howling with laughter as he described the decades long feud between Patti Duke and Suzanne Pleshette. Well, it was more that Suzanne held a hell of a grudge really. But this guy acted it all out doing voices and everything. Hysterical.

She was great in the "Miracle Worker"... and I enjoyed her TV show (not shown anymore on anttv.. ugh). I watched a little known movie, "Me, Natalie", filmed in the late 60s. It was a good little film, and she was very good in it. You can watch it on Youtube. She passed too young. I was shocked when her death was announced.

What was she doing with that hot dog - you know, the one that made her lose control?

R307 it was more like a one-sided Feud since Patty Duke really didn't even know that Suzanne Pleshette hated her that much and continue to hate her. Care to share any of the story that he told?

R308 Me, Natalie is one of the best movies, how it did not turn into a movie that everybody knows about, I'll never know

I saw an interview with Suzanne Pleshette (you can find it on YouTube) in which she talks about the terrible time she had replacing Anne Bancroft during the Broadway run of "The Miracle Worker" while Patty was still in the show. She says Patty took an instant dislike to her (because she wasn't Anne Bancroft) and made their scenes together, especially the fight scenes, very difficult and literally painful for Suzanne. Fairly or unfairly, she makes Patty sound pretty awful in the interview.

R302, Sounds like Harry Falk, Jr. was more complicit in Sharon's death than Patty.

R313 that is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Who knew that not coming to an agreement would lead to her death? Neither Patty or Harry have anything to do with her death.

R312 I know that interview, Patty was 13 or 14 and Bancroft was like a second mother to her. Patty was definitely at first not a fan of Suzanne Pleshette, though I think later things settle down. But Suzanne to keep that alive all lthose years later, seems a little strange.

Today marks 2 years and 6 months that Patty Duke passed away 😢 I for one will never forget her💔

Bump

I've heard that interview as well. I'd say it was less a grudge than an actress really enjoying dining out on an old tale of her being a victim, deservedly so probably, and letting everyone know how hard she had to work with a bratty kid actor! Face it, it's a great story, and I'm sure Suzanne enjoyed telling it!

R318 make that an exceptionally talented amazing 'bratty kid' and you have it right LOL

Bavery, resilience, compassion and love. Oh yeah, she had some pretty decent acting chops too, but the other stuff is more important.

R320 💯

2 years and 10 months 😢

Zanzibar was a terrible place to live in the early 1960s, especially for a young white vaguely Scottish girl who didn’t speak Swahili or Arabic.

R343 LOL

Anna Marie 'Patty' Duke Falk Tell Astin Pearce

Bump

Will the tears never cease?

R347 NEVER 😢😢😢

my favorite thing about her is her son. He was kind of hot before he got fat.

Ummm... no he wasn’t

Patty Duke's son Mackenzie Astin was and still is hot

That’s not the fat one

Mackenzie is the one serving speed freak chic k

Sean is the one in the speedo, Mack is not in the picture 😀

Since there is no February 29th I Just wanted to add that it is a sad day. The Patty Duke has been dead 1 month shy of 3 years 😢😢😠

Dry those tears, Mary.

That cunt is in ecstasy sucking cock in hell!

R355 your crude comment will not make me ever stop crying or missing her 😢

Clearly

I saw Patty Duke as Phyllis in a Los Angeles production of "Follies". Lauren Bacall, Bea Arthur and Elaine Stritch sounded like Julie Andrews, Sally Anne Howes and Florence Henderson singing "I Could Have Danced All Night" compared to her screeching "Could I Leave You?" The only really interesting thing about this Sunday matinee was seeing all the people that I knew from West Hollywood there and turning to my friend and saying, "Wow, I bet the Abbey is empty!"

Bump

You again?

I always read the Cathy Lane character to be a lesbian (maybe hoped is the better word). I googled to see if anyone else thought the same and found this little Outsmart article! Evidently, she liked the Cathy character better and agreed that Cathy could have indeed been a lesbian. ; )

I recently read her last book. She certainly worked with a lot of actors and actresses.

R362, might be my favorite book review of all time.

R360 Yep

What stops you from checking yourself into the clinic?

They are doing wonderful things with mental health these days!

R365 NEVER 😀

I cannot believe in 3 days it's going to be three years since the great actress Patty Duke passed away 😢

Her undercarriage always smelled vaguely of vomit

R368 please take your meds and have a nice nap 🤣

Sometimes in the middle of the day out of nowhere, Patty shrieking, 'WITH THAT LITTLE WHORE!' from the scene where she catches Ted C in the pool with another woman in VOTD, just pops into my head. Her delivery is so over the top it's absolutely iconic.

In less than an hour, depending on where You are, it will be three years since the great actress Patty Duke passed away. Still can't believe it 😢

Just think: the old broad never knew a world where Don Dump was presdent

I am watching Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes in her honor.

It's the one with the evil lamp.

Forever Patty. I still miss her.

They come and go, but every once in while someone passes who makes a difference and is truly missed more than the others. Patty is one of those rare standouts. Joan Rivers and Mary Tyler Moore are also in the "Patty" category for me.

The Greats: Patty Duke. Judy Garland.

I’m guessing nobody ever accused R375 of being very bright

3 years today she passed away 😢

I watch the Patty Duke Show reruns on the Roma Downey channel. This week was some season 2 eps with the weird flat head Frankenstein wig.

Bumper

It’s been 79 hours since I cleared a platter of nachos and washed them down with a tankard of cheap port so I could have the trots in honor of Patsy

Why Patty Duke why?

Patty Duke: Gone, but never forgotten.

Her crotch stench will never allow us to forget!

Damn good actress. An oscar winner but still, I don't think she got the recognition she deserved for all of her work.

You ate a delusional fool

She was an obnoxious TV movie level hack

^ I’m sure you ate lots of crazy stuff, but that should read you ARE

I ate a delusional fool last night in the back room. How did you know?

I’m THAT good

If it was you, you weren't THAT good. Still, I've had worse.

You also might to want to try some vitamins to see that thing will grow bigger.

Sorry, that wasn’t me.

I don’t mess with minute steaks or cheap appetizers

Can we please get back to talking about Patty Duke, TY ❤️

She never had the career renaissance she deserved, it looked like Ryan Murphy was going to do that but then dropped her like a hot potato after her guest lesbian spot on Glee. I wonder what happened?

R393 I was wondering the same thing. I know that had Corey not killed himself, Patty Duke and Meredith Baxter were supposed to continue on GLEE. But Ryan Murphy had so many other opportunities to give Patty Duke work on his other shows, and I always wonder why he didn't???

I loved her. She mainly had cheesy tv movies for her finale, but she was still good.

Neely! Neely O'hara!!!!

I'm due for a viewing of "Valley of the Dolls"

I still cannot believe that it's been 3 years and two months and 3 days, that the great Patty Duke passed away 😢

Again with this cunt?

R397 take your meds please

Physician, heal thyself...
