Anna Marie "Patty" Duke (born December 14, 1946 in Elmhurst , New York ; † March 29, 2016 in Coeur d'Alene , Idaho ) was an American actress and singer . At the age of 16 she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Light in the Dark , after which she was at times a popular teenage star.
Life
Anna Marie Duke was born in Elmhurst, Queens , to John Patrick Duke, a craftsman and taxi driver, and Frances McMahon, a cashier . Her father was Irish American and her maternal grandmother was German . She had a tough childhood with her brother, Raymond, because her father was an alcoholic , her mother suffered from depression , and she was a frequent victim of domestic violence. When Patty Duke was six, the mother separated from her father, and when she was eight, her mother passed custody of her to John and Ethel Ross. They recognized her talent, became her managers and promoted a career as child actress.
After a few commercials and minor roles, Patty Duke got her first major role as deafblind Helen Keller on Broadway in 1959 in Licht im Dunkel . In 1962, at the age of 16, she received an Oscar for best supporting actress for its filming , for which she thanked with one of the shortest “speeches”, namely, she only said “Thank you”. She is the third youngest Oscar winner after Tatum O'Neal and Anna Paquin . She won three Emmys (1977, 1979 and 1980) and two Golden Globe Awards (1963 and 1970). From 1963 to 1966 she had her own television show, the Patty Duke Show . In this sitcom , she played the dual role of the dissimilar cousins Cathy and Patty Lane, who live in the same house. During this time she was also active as a singer and released a music album called Don't Stand Just There . The theme song made it into the top 10 of the US charts .
From her role in the 1967 film Das Tal der Puppen (The Valley of the Puppets) , she tried the leap into the adult subject, which she succeeded only moderately. From the late 1960s she was seen as an actress mainly in television productions. Her bipolar disorder, which began in adolescence and was noticeable through strange behavior during filming and public appearances, but was not successfully diagnosed until 1982, was also at the disadvantage of her career. As one of the first prominent personalities, she went public with her mental illness in the 1980s and later became intensively involved in this area. On American television, Duke was able to make a name for herself as the leading actress in numerous television films , especially in the 1980s and 1990s , while she was no longer seen in the cinema with a few exceptions such as the lead in the horror film Amityville Horror 4 .
From 1985 to 1988 Patty Duke served as chairman of the American actors' union . Her work includes more than 130 productions. Thirty years after her show ended, Duke was ranked 40th of the 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time by TV Guide in 1996.
Patty Duke was married four times: from 1965 to 1969 to director Harry Falk, from June 26 to July 9, 1970 with Michael Tell, from 1972 to 1985 with actor John Astin and from 1986 until her death with Michael Pearce. Two of their marriages resulted in the actors Sean Astin (* 1971, with Michael Tell) and Mackenzie Astin (* 1973); In 1988 she adopted another boy. Patty Duke died of sepsis in March 2016 at the age of 69 .
