Jean Stapleton (seen here pre-Edith Bunker, on "The Patty Duke Show") and her husband operated the Totem Pole Playhouse in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania for thirty years. I was lucky enough to see her star in many shows there in my youth, including the unforgettable "The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild," in which she was yanked off stage by a giant King Kong paw! #totempole #totempoleplayhouse #fayetteville #pennsylvania #playhouse #theater #theatre #jeanstapleton #pattyduke #actress #edithbunker

We were surprised to find the guest star Wednesday night on "The Patty Duke Show" was Frank Sinatra Jr. Romantic contretemps ensued. I just discovered contretemps is pronounced "KAHN-truh-tahn."

In our regular Wednesday perusal of the classic "Patty Duke Show," we discovered that Margaret Hamilton played a recurring role as the family's housekeeper. #pattyduke #thepattydukeshow #tv #sitcom #classictv #margarethamilton #wickedwitch #wizardofoz #twins #twincousins

The Miracle Worker

My favorite scene from one of my favorite films. With #AnneBancroft as teacher #AnnieSullivan and #PattyDuke as #HelenKeller. The expression on the actor's faces!
Directed by #ArthurPenn in 1962 the film received 5 Oscar nominations with wins by both of these actors.
