Oscar-Winning Actress Patty Duke Is Dead at 69 - NBC News

The press is making her out to be more famous for her role in "The Miracle Worker" for which I salute her, but her popularity arose from an early 1960's sitcom.

Requiescat, you gave us a lot of laughs.

Both before and after, there was rather much more to Ms Duke than that popular piece of 60's fluff, and she seemed to find peace in her life with Michael. After a less than picture perfect early years, and struggle with what we now term bi-polar disorder, that was well deserved.
