GA Russell Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Patty Duke died today. RIP. I think her hit "Please Don't Just Stand There" qualifies her for a place in the Artists forum. I remember when she followed Ed Asner as head of the actors' union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 that's too bad. i listen to her xmas record at times. strange to think: Patty Duke + Gomez = Samwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 A hot dog made her lose control. Whether or not that was before she lost all sight and hearing and then married Gomez Addams (or was it George Adams, I always confuse those two, what with the eyeballs), I don't know, but a hot dog is a mysterious thing, to be sure.

jeffcrom Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm in New Orleans, and was walking on the levee in the French Quarter. I sat for a while to watch the river go by and to listen to the pre-boarding calliope concert from the steamer Natchez. The calliope player played the Patty Duke Show theme, which I thought was a sweet tribute. Then she played "Cakewalking Babies From Home," which was hip in a different way.

clifford_thornton Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Liked her in the few things I saw her in and understand that she had numerous struggles throughout her life. However, I consider her a musical artist about as much as I do Kurt Russell, which is to say not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Astin said that he basically has 4 men he calls "father." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I saw her over the years in various roles, smaller and larger, and tended to be surprised at her competency as an actress. I shouldn't have been. You have to be good to have that long a career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
