RIP Patty Duke (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/30/arts/television/patty-duke-dies.html)

Quote
Patty Duke, an Oscar-winning actress renowned at midcentury as a child star of stage, film and television, who, amid public struggles with bipolar disorder, went on to cultivate a respected screen career in adulthood, died on Tuesday at a hospital near her home in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. She was 69.

Her husband, Michael Pearce, said the cause was complications of a ruptured intestine that Ms. Duke suffered on Thursday.

Very sad.  In memory, here is a MATCH GAME '75 clip with Patty as part of the phrase (with, of course, Patty as a panelist).

Rest In Peace, miracle worker.  :bluesad:

A sad loss for us all . . . I grew up watching her.
Condolences to her son, Sean Astin.

Seconded.

The odd thing is I was watching an episode of the second series of Hawaii Five O (the reboot) which had her as a murdered diver's mother. RIP.

PATTY DUKE had two sons.  The other is MACKENZIE ASTIN.  

I think the earliest show I may remember actually watching when it was new was "THE PATTY DUKE SHOW"
