Patty Duke was born in New York in 1946. She was a teenage actress with minor success until she was 16 and was cast as blind/deaf Helen Keller in the Broadway version of The Miracle Worker. She starred there for 1 1/2 years and then starred in the very memorable movie version opposite Anne Bancroft. She won the Oscar for that role, making her the youngest person to that date to win one (of course, up to that time "children" were only given "special" Oscars). She next starred in The Pattty Duke Show on TV (playing "identical cousins"), and that goofy show has a very loyal following even to this day. She was 19 and seemingly on top of the world, but she had an incredibly turbulent private life, and she next married an assistant director on The Patty Duke Show who was 33, and soon after she was married she starred as Neely O'Hara in Valley of the Dolls, playing an All About Eve-like character. Alas, that was one of her last memorable roles. She divorced her husband, and married a man for 2 weeks and left him and had a son. She married actor John Astin, who adopted her son, and she had a daughter with him. She came to realize she was manic depressive, and she got treatment, and was very public about her illness. Her most memorable later role was in 1979 when she starred in a TV movie version of The Miracle Worker, where she this time played Annie Sullivan, opposite Melissa Gilbert as Helen, and this time she won an Emmy for her performance! Sean Astin (star of the wonderful football movie Rudy and now best known as Samwise 'Sam' Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings trilogy) is her son. His biological father is the man Duke married for two weeks, but he was adopted by and grew up with John Astin. She passed away in 2016 at the age of 69.

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 120 board games we are auctioning in this set of auctions. It is a remarkable collection that covers all decades and genres. Most are movie or TV related in some way (often based on a specific movie or TV show, but sometimes on a character). All of the games were actually used and played with. We can't say if the games are complete, especially in regards to the small pieces. We have photographed the cover of the game, the inside of the cover (if relevant), the board, and the game pieces, and we include the length and width measurements of the box. Please look at our images to tell both the overall condition of the game, and to see if it appears to be complete. We have assigned each game an overall condition grade, but because we are FAR from experts in these board games, we don't have a basis for how to grade them, and we are just taking a good guess as to how to grade them. Also, please do not ask any questions about them, because we won't know the answers, beyond what can be seen in our images. We also have already packed the games so that they will be quickly ready to ship, so they can't be opened, and therefore we can't look at any of them to give further information beyond what is seen in our images. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase many of these games at one time! If you bought them one at a time, it would surely take years to assemble a collection like this, but all of these will have new owners when these auctions end, because all are being sold with no reserve, and all start at just $1!

Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package (sometimes a very large oversized package; see the dimensions of the item). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. In addition, some of the items that are in this section are ones that are "three dimensional" and need to be shipped in a box, and often need to be sent by themselves, because combining them with other items would likely cause damage, so bear that in mind as well before bidding. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it.
