gaillardia Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yes, still have that song roll through my head from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I loved that show. My cousin and I (who are only a few weeks apart but not identical lol) used to act out the mirror scene of the opening to the show. The theme song is one I still can sing. Years later when I found out how horribly she was treated during those years I almost felt guilty for loving the show so much and wanting to be like Patty Lane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyOwn Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Awww, so sad. I never watched the Patty Duke Show, but I saw her in many a Lifetime movie years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Loved that show. Just heard that James Noble who played the governor on Benson died Monday. Heaven just got two great ones.

Spy Car Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 From memory: Kathy adores the minuet The Ballet Russe and crepes suzette, But Patty loves to rock and roll. A hot-dog makes her lose control. What a crazy pair! But there're cousins, Identical cousins, All the way The xxxx alike They walk alike, At time they even talk alike, You can lose you mind, When cousins are two of a kind. I may have goofed a few lines, but what's it been, almost 50 years? Bill 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocomom63 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Another great actress gone. :-( I remember the movie about her battle with bipolar disease and there's a lesser known made for tv movie called Before and After about three friends who struggled with weight issues. In fact I was thrilled to have found that one on Youtube last year. I know I saw her in many other shows, but those are the stand outs for me. RIP Patty.

8circles Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 oh, how sad. I loved watching her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***** Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Especially as Helen Keller. What a great job she did in the original movie. My mom and I always had a running joke between us: "Waaaaaa!" (with all due respect... But if you saw the movie, you would know where that line came from.) I was always mesmerized by that movie. Maybe I got my influence to be a special needs teacher from that early exposure! She was a local in the next town over as well, CDA, ID and has been in plays in the area in the last 2 decades. 69 is young. May the angels wrap her in their loving arms... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evergreen State Sue Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thanks to those who provided the words to the Patty Duke Show theme song so I could sing the song in memory of someone who was part of my growing up. May she rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
