I am so sorry to hear this. She was definitely a part of my youth. RIP Patty (and Cathy).

I was totally in love with her - from a distance. From this she had a difficult childhood and surmounted it all. Patty Duke, child star and Academy Award winner, dies at age 69 - LA Times (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-patty-duke-dead-story.html)

RIP Patty (Anna), she was way too young. I feel as though I have lost a family member since she had such interaction with my family in the movie and stage show, The Miracle Worker. She was bi-polar and suffered a lot of emotional issues in her early years. She will be missed.

Sad to hear. Helene was a big fan. She said she thought she had bi-polar. 69 sounds so young to pass.

Part of my youth, very sad news. A real courageous and classy woman. My prayers have been said for her. :(
