Patty Duke cashed out her chips at age 69.
She won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Helen Keller in THE MIRACLE WORKER. She also starred as two “identical cousins” in The Patty Duke Show on television. That show ran from 1963-1966. She was, at the time, the youngest star to appear in a show named for her.
She also won three Emmy awards.
Possibly her most memorable movie role was in the 1967 VALLEY OF THE DOLLS. She played very much against type as an alcoholic pill-head.
