Duke was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1982; since then, she has devoted much of her time to advocating and educating the public on mental health issues.
In 1996, 30 years after The Patty Duke Show ended, Duke was ranked #40 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time.
Early life
Duke was born in Elmhurst, Queens, New York, the youngest of three children born of Frances (née McMahon), a cashier, and John Brock Duke, a handyman and cab driver. She is of German (from her maternal grandmother) and Irish descent (on both sides, her paternal grandparents, James and Katness (O'Hara) Duke, having immigrated to New York from County Longford, Ireland).
"They laugh alike, they walk alike, at times they even talk alike."
"This one appealed to me, ... My mom, before she passed, lived in a nursing home. It created great strife and guilt."
"They're too sick to speak, or too short of breath to say anything. You know, it's kind of a guessing game. It's like playing charades,"
"well-deserved and long overdue."
"But she still had a soft spot for ?The Miracle Worker. She said she and Anne Bancroft ?created an evening for people that truly, truly touched their souls."
"I'm surviving a life-threatening illness. Many do not, such as those without celebrity and fortune who have to depend on the public healthcare system."
"We call that Sean's little independent movie."
"It's toughest to forgive ourselves. So it's probably best to start with other people. It's almost like peeling an onion. Layer by layer, forgiving others, you really do get to the point where you can forgive yourself."
"I can't tell you what I had for breakfast, but I can sing every single word of rock and roll."
"I think my real depressions started when I was about 16 and doing The Patty Duke Show. I would go to bed at about 10 o'clock on a Friday night and not get up again until 6:30 Monday morning."
"For the first time, I lived alone... in a luxury apartment on Sunset Strip. For a few days I loved the idea, but I got lonely and restless."
"I never did quite fit the glamour mode. It is life with my husband and family that is my high now."
"Reality is hard. It is no walk in the park, this thing called Life."

Patty Duke speaks frankly about her crippling manic depression
“Patty Duke dedicated the last few years of her life to talking about what it was like to live with bipolar disorder. She was fearlessly honest and wanted others to know that they weren't alone,” said Ed Moore, producer, director and writer of “Ride The Tiger: A Guide Through the Bipolar Brain,” about the Oscar-winning actress who is featured in the film and who passed away March 29, 2016, at the age of 69.

Classic TV Theme: The Patty Duke Show
What can be said about one of the iconic tv theme songs of the 1960s? Patty Duke's first sitcom ran for three years on ABC, but it's safe to say that it's hardly been off the air since then as it is a standby for comedy channels and nostalgia networks. The Sid Ramin song has a great swinging melody, quotable lyrics courtesy Robert Wells ('a hot dog makes her lose control'), all sung by the Skip-Jacks, a Hollywood fivesome (one of them was actress Stella Stevens) who performed tunes like this and 'The Flintstones' for tv shows.

Tragic Details About Patty Duke
There are not many actors in Hollywood that can claim to have a career that has spanned over half a century. It’s a rarity and as we all know, stars come and go in Hollywood. But acclaimed actress Patty Duke had a storied acting career which has garnered her an Academy Award and three Primetime Emmy Awards.
Her most memorable performance was playing Hellen Keller in the 1962 film The Miracle Worker for which she won an Academy Award at just 15 years of age.
But Duke is also known for devoting much of her time away from acting to advocate and educate the public about mental health. The actor was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1982 and besides that, here are more tragic details about Patty Duke.

Duke is one of nearly 6 million Americans who have been diagnosed with the disorder and yet little is known about how the illness manifests itself in our brains. The film, which will air on PBS stations nationwide April 13, 2016, tells the story of highly accomplished individuals -- congressmen, attorneys, pastors and authors -- who have been diagnosed as bipolar.
Narrated by David Ogden Stiers (“American Experience”), co-written by National Book Award-winning author Andrew Solomon (“The Noonday Demon”) and directed by Moore, the documentary seeks to find out where the biological breakdowns occur and how we can possibly pre-empt, fix or rewire our brains back to recovery.
