Patty Duke (1946-2016) was a true show business legend whose
career spanned six decades. Her Oscar win for her role as Helen
Keller in The Miracle Worker made her, at the time, the
youngest Academy Award winner. She also entered the history books
as the youngest person to have a show bearing her full name, with
The Patty Duke Show, on which she played genetically
unexplainable identical cousins. In addition to her acting, she
became the second woman ever elected president of the Screen Actors
Guild.
