I had no idea she endured this sexual/drug/alcohol abuse. Ms. Duke impressed me immensely when I first saw her in the Miracle Worker when I was just in the 4th grade. God bless her. Rest in peace Anna Marie.
bohogal1 ...She really, really was so brave Back then, you just didn't talk about such things. Now a days, I think we're understanding SO much more of what's going on with these young people/ children who are forced to work in the most vain, greedy, immoral industry of all time. I'm really pretty sure that she wrote about all that, maybe 10-15 yrs ago....well before anyone else...God Bless You and keep you , you are safe now.
She was an incredibly strong person to survive so much abuse. Read her autobiography, "Call Me Anna."
Patty Duke is an amazing individual. A tiny woman who, as a little girl, was removed from her New York home, raised by theater-strangers who took advantage of her, stole her finances, and later molested her. Right there, many of us would be driven mad. Her diagnosis of being Bipolar later on could also have driven her off the ledge; but she remained. True to her faith in God, forgiving of those who abused her and actually "robbed" her. MORE of us need to be like Patty Duke! God bless her!
Patty is with her Maker now. R.I.P. Patty Duke :-(
+Carole Ann Davis i grew up with her cousins, her real name was dukowski, she was polish, "their cousins, their joined at the spine"
who are u talking about, certainly not Patty. Her father's parents were born in County Longford Ireland....DUKE!
Patty was a remarkable woman and human being.
I hope she knew how much her fans loved her..... RIP, Sweet Lady.
Someone get Patty a tissue please, RIP incredibly strong survivor that you are, you are missed
I think its time to spread more kindness like this
The most underrated actress ever! Love you Patty ~forever~
there are people that I wish would never pass, but stay here to help, and to guide us.
+miss miss I know what you mean--ms. duke was one of those people we need longer--lets take what she shared and help others
Forgiveness is a selfish thing, in a good way. I know. I was raped in my own home. It took several years but I forgave him in my heart. This freed me in my life to not carry him or that night with me. To me Forgiveness is Freedom. I surley hope this helps someone else. God Bless you.
Brave woman. Love her.
Wonderful lady--raised awareness about mental health issues, abuse, addiction--a survivor--and great actress, of course. We'll all miss her--another one of the greats of our generation gone (we're getting old!!)--lets remember what they gave us--and with Ms. Duke a LOT. Bless her.
Such a wonderful woman and actress. Rest in peace, Patty, and thank you.
An amazing soul.Fly with the Angels. *Soar beyond the stars*
patty duke is a fabulous actress, lovely strong person, and a true survivor.
Somebody could have given her a tissue. Poor Patty.
Ya think.
I've never seen a negative comment about her on the Internet. That speaks to her character. People loved her and could relate to her. She was a wonderful person.
+sunlitweb Yes, agree with your comment. How rare is it these days , NO negativity regarding this amazing woman.
Powerful words! She was a brave woman and a true miracle to overcome that history.
When you watched a TV show back then, you watched the character and enjoyed them. Today, every one who is on tv is researched on Google. I am sad to read a nd listen to her story! I will always love you! RIP
RIP sweet Anna!!
Rest peacefully now Anna. I respect your honesty, fellow bipolar person.
She was such a talented actress and no one will ever be able to fill her place. She definitely was a one of a kind talent! She endured so much and still came through! What a star that has been extinguished! I admire her candidness and her ability to talk about the things that no one had the courage to do in her time! We knew her as Patty but to those who loved her she was Anna!
Bless her Heart. She had to go through so much in her life and we as fans didn't know anything about this till she was ready to tell her story. May you Rest in Peace in the House of Our Lord and Savior now Anna. Your be dearly missed by so many and your very much Loved by those as well.
Remembering the life of an immensely talented "survivor", with a heart as big as the whole world! She will forever live on in her archived "Patty Duke Show", as well as her performances as Helen and Anne in "The Miracle Worker." Rest in Peace, Patty, and may you finally enjoy that well-earned break from all those years of non-stop hard work here on earth. You are missed and loved. Never doubt that you were loved!
Oh Patty. I miss you so much. I had a crush on you. I still do. RIP.
Nobody was hotter then Patty Duke in the sixties and seventys. Great actress,singer. I loved her movie "you'll like my mother"
i met her, i adore her, and haters, go watch who u like dah
How fortunate to have met her!
@msjosephine2 Each case is different. My molestation happened over 50 yrs ago. The molestor died over 30 yrs ago. He never....NEVER had any power over me, ever. I confronted him a couple of yrs before he died. I got in his face and told him he was a piece of shit scum and I was going to make sure everyone knew about him. It felt good. I did what I couldn't do as a little girl. I was free!
Anna by her lifelong inspired acting, and advocacy for mental health and animal rights was nobly a Miracle Worker to the end. Her beneficent influence lives on, will long abide.
Patty-Cathy, Rock 'n' roll & minuet in Peace.
patty thank you for all of the movies youve given us.incredible talent.
She's so right about forgiveness being the key to recovery/wellness. I didn't find out until I was in my late 50s. I had an abusive father and I was angry and mentally ill for years from this. When I finally learned how to forgive, the anger left, I was able to let go and I started to get well. Thanks Patty, I miss you as do others. RIP
RIP Patty
i know how patty feels... my mom molested me but i'm trying to forgive her too. she never admitted anything but i can tell she's trying to make amends in her own way.
I love the Patty Duke show. Amazing to hear her actual story, was unaware of the depth. Patty was cooler than Cathy, but they were actually played by one girl, with bi-polar disorder. Drugs and sexual abuse... Wow... I'm watching your show on TV right now !
Just watched Patty Duke Biography video. I thought Patty was so cool. She seemed like a normal cool American teenager. Great actress. The real story is so different from what I thought. Patty Duke isn't even her real name, wow, but Patty Duke will still always be super cool to me !
@jimsdrummingmusic No one EVER deserves to be hurt. Once you mature a little, you will realize that
Era linda de jovencita con la mirada triste por momentos,se recuperó también envejeció Muy rápido
This is why I love Patty Duke. She was able to forgive whereas I just can't right now. I can relate to the, "It's my fault", ideal and it's something I live with everyday. That being said, I look up to Patty Duke. Our lives have parallels, including sexual abuse and bipolar disorder, and I hope to one day be as strong as she is. c:
Sweet lady.....great actress. Loved her.
On this day in 1959 {October 19th} the play 'The Miracle Worker' opened on Broadway at the Playhouse Theater in N.Y.C. {it ran for 719 performances}.
And in New York City three years later on May 23rd, 1962 the movie premiered...
Patty Duke won the Academy Award for 'Best Supporting Actress'.
Then three more years later on June 26th, 1965 Patty's "Don't Just Stand There" entered the Top 100 {it eventually peaked at #8}.
Ms. Duke will celebrated her 67th birthday in two months on December 14th.
I have also felt her pain. I listen to her early songs and I hear her pain in them and the questions. Why did know one see it or hear it. I did but not til years later. Now I listen to it often and fell her (our) pain.
Patty Duke is a coragous woman. Shes achieved so much in her time and has been through hell and back since her childhood. I love her work she a terrific actress. Love the Miracle Worker:)
I remember she was dealing with Desi Arnez Jr. when he was 17 an she 23. Lucille Ball (Arnez son) didn't like it one bit. She made an acceptence speech for a TV award in 1970 an many thought she was on drugs.
When she says, "Thank you", at the end of this clip she's actually being handed a tissue. You can see so in the entire interview, which is here on TH-cam somewhere. ;}
Sad loved her.
agreed - I fail to see forgiving someone in some circumstances - for example say your childs murderer (who is quite unrepentant) the only thing I can think is it helps the person try and move on as much as possible.....I dont think I could!
I love Patty.She has so much to offer to the world but so often people just don't want to know.I think maybe its because their afraid,I just don't know.
@RenegadeTimes disney himself or the ppl who made movies for him?
@PaineLover Forgiveness isn't for their benefit, it is for yours.
I never blamed myself when I was molkested as a child. Quite early on, I knew my molester was a evil, good for nothing asshole. Forgive? Ha! Absolutely no way. No way. That old saying: Success is the best revenge. And in my case....this is what worked for me.
In every biography of her, it's said that she married Michael Tell and left him 13 days later, and everyone knows the story of her son's paternity, but I clearly remember (though I was a kid) a very bizarre interview she gave, I think it was on the Mike Douglas show, with this husband, and they were talking about how they were going to build an arc out in the desert and survive the end of the world, and start a new religion. He was a long haired, bearded guy and it was the hippie times and you'd hear a lot of people spouting these weird things, but not, typically, big stars. Anyone else remember this?
Agree-Although everyone must do what they need to do to get through-My feeling is trying to understand-which may be what is passes for forgiveness.At least when you hear Anna talk it is more of an understanding that she is talking about that she labels as forgiveness.Understanding what may drive someone to do something has the same benefits as what is known as forgiveness.But it's not quite the same.Nor should it be.Some things should never be forgiven-But it is cathartic to "understand"
Someone please give Patty a tissue. She's driving me nuts watching her wipe her nose with her hand.
+Gary Chamberlain dont be so hard on her, im bi-polar and i pickmy nose all the time
My Sweet Charlie-Need I say more?
Right ON, Patty! Psychaitry should be a tool, not a weapon. It should be directed by Love, not by Science.....
@theshadow1932 It is unfortunate that we use the word "forgive" which has s definition meaning that "its ok" which of course it most certainly is not,. I think it can feel as if you are being victimized a second...third...fourth...etc. time.
ps she probably had a cold, to the prick Bradley fy she isn't a whiner she is a great person who had bad agents, if u see this anna marie, i met u in everett wa, i think you made me understand bipolar and i knew it when i was 8
Yes, you would think someone would have handed the poor thing a hankie or something.
@MysteryManoLove In my opinion until you can forgive the person that wronged you has power over you and once you forgive that power is gone and you can start the healing.
She was on something when she accepted that Emmy Award. I don't care how many times she denies it and blames in on bipolar disorder. Look at her eyes. Great actress though.
bipolar is hard folks, you can't see it, but you feel it
@adzug Disney himself..totally ~!!
@MzShugr I understand that, for people who feel the NEED to forgive......but it is NOT for everyone. It is not for me. I do not need to forgive. I am not like most victims in that I never felt it was my fault like P. Duke said. Besides, he is DEAD. I am completely beyond any and all that happened 55 yrs ago. Way beyond.
Thumbs down for the interviewer but blessings on Anna Marie....RIP
Sorry to hear of your struggles. It is possible to achieve forgiveness if you remember it is a choice and not a feeling. Many times, the feelings catch up later. I went through this myself with sexual abuse. It is not an easy road, but a very necessary one... and well worth it on the other side: FREEDOM! Jesus can empower you to forgive and heal. Ask Him to help you and to send people to support you. This is not a battle won on your own. God bless you!
forgiveness heals...until you can forgive-you won't recognize what she is talking about. prayer helps. anna is not weird-her disease caused her to act unlike herself.
luckily she found help & has done so much to help others by her books & speaking about it. judging her isn't fair. have you looked at your own plank? to forgive doesn't condone behavior-it can save the world to forgive. Jesus forgave His murderers as an example to us. try to forgive-it could save you. Anna-you are beautiful& wise.
Forgiveness works wonders AFTER you get revenge....
Drip, drip, drip…
Gee she keeps whiping her snot on her hands. Hope no one shook her hand after this. She still looks nuts !
@PaineLover good luck having a reasonable, happy life without forgiveness.
who abused her? Oh my god
Her managers when she was a child
A stockbroker who befriended me years ago told of serious racial undercurrents in the area where Patty Duke now resides. And I do remember the military cautioning African American personnel against going into the region. And I do remember Couer d'Alene being in the near vicinity of Hayden Lake, home of a deep right wing organization. So I just wonder about Duke and just what are her politics. You'd think she would've settled in a more progressive political environment, say, Seattle.
Poor Patty deceived by the pseudomedical industries.
@allexx123 Is it coke?
@jimsdrummingmusic " you will see when you die that god is indeed real "
And which "god" would that be? There are thousands of gods, and millions and millions of adherents to those different god beliefs who SWEAR that THEIR god is the one true god, and that if one doesn't believe in their god they will "see" when they die, or will be punished....blah blah. Threats do not bother me at all
She looked like she was cranked up on something right there
Why does she keep rubbing her nose
+Nina Davis It looked like she had a cold.
You sure she's over the drug abuse?? She keeps on wiping her nose... >_>
Yeah, I agree. And she might be on the right wing end of the political spectrum, too. Which is her right certainly.
She's always wiping her nose and contorting her face
She is still hot.
Omg grab a tissues. You are still using. Or you need help again xxxxx
I dislike patti duke. just my opinion
