First reports say it was caused by sepsis from a ruptured intestine.

One of my earliest memories as a kid was watching The Patty Duke show...may she rest in peace.

I used to often show the kids in my class parts of The Miracle Worker - especially the dining room scene. Got them enraptured every time, despite the fact it was, "an old movie in black and white" (their words, not mine). Still an incredible performance.

great show PDS. I believe it was rerun in the 80s on CBN, a channel I really miss. I Married Joan, Life of Riley, etc.

She seemed like a great person.

i can't remember the last time I caught a rerun of The Patty Duke Show. I still remember seeing it as a kid during its original run. I guess it is a testament to the show's impact in that many of us still remember all or part of the theme song; and that William Schallert, in spite of appearing in hundreds of films and TV shows will always be known as "Patty Duke's dad".

RIP

Sad news. A fine multi-talented actress indeed.
RIP

A truly great actress from my generation has now left us, and it makes me incredibly sad.

And we now have two threads on the same topic.

For me, this is even worse than last week's passing of Garry Shandling! Like with Garry, it just seems way too soon to lose Patty Duke!

My condolences to her Friends and Family. May Patty Rest In Peace!

I grew up watching the Patty Duke show. I thought she was an excellent actress. May she R.I.P.

THE MIRACLE WORKER is one of my favorite movies, one in dire need of an anamorphic DVD and/or, better, a Blu-ray.

I'd forgotten Sam, well Sean..., was her son. tough break. I meant to call my mom Saturday and got preoccupied with something else. Mom's older that Patty was.
