[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 445477, member: 7"] I believe it was during the advertisements on the THAT GIRL first season DVD set where I originally learned about THE PATTY DUKE SHOW. I had never heard of the show, and I had never heard of Patty Duke, although my mother remarked, "I think she played in some movies on Lifetime." THE PATTY DUKE SHOW was ignited by ABC as a star vehicle for Patty Duke (who had won an Oscar for playing Helen Keller in THE MIRACLE WORKER in 1962). The network wanted to make sure they showcased the young actress's versatility, so they conjured up the "identical cousins" aspect of the series' plot, where Duke would play two identical-looking cousins that were, as luck would have it, polar opposites. THE PATTY DUKE SHOW ran for three seasons, from 1963 to 1966, and produced 104 half-hour black-and-white episodes. Upon its abrupt cancellation, Duke desired to move into more mature roles, and would soon play Neely O'Hara in the big screen version of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (1967). Any thoughts or insights on THE PATTY DUKE SHOW from my fellow Telly Talkers? [ATTACH type="full"]59769[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
