She was a wonderful person. I did a couple of films with her back in the 70's and 80's. I love her performance in The Miracle Worker and still watch old reruns of The Patty Duke Show. She was also fabulous in Valley of the Dolls. I was just speaking about her a couple of days ago telling a friend about going to her home, at the time, in Westwood. It was an early Sunday morning and we were doing a film where the lead actress was fired the day before and Patty was taking over the role, so we were in a rush to catch up. I remember walking by a built in bookcase and there was her Academy Award in the corner of a shelf with a bunch of stuff leaning against it. Her two sons, Sean and Mackenzie, were jumping up and down on the couch and, her husband at the time, John Astin grabbed me by the arm and said "let's make pancakes for everyone"....it is one of my fondest memories. So sad, she wasn't that old..... Sue Hollywood Poster Frames
