Call ME Anna: The Autobiography of Patty Duke


Description

The star--The public saw her as a gifted child star: the youngest actor to win an Oscar--for her role as Helen Keller in "The Miracle Worker" --and the youngest actor to have a prime time television series bearing her own name.The Nightmare--What the public did not see was Anna Marie Duke, a young girl whose life changed forever at age seven when tyrannical managers stripped her of nearly all that was familiar, beginning with her name. She was deprived of family and friends. Her every world was programmed, her every action monitored and criticized. She was fed liquor and prescription drugs, taught to lie to get work, and relentlessly drilled to win roles.The Legend--Out of this nightmare emerged Patty Duke, a show business legend still searching for the child, Anna. She won three Emmy Awards and divorced three husbands. A starring role in "Valley of the Dolls" nearly ruined her career. She was notorious for wild spending sprees, turbulent liaisons, and an uncontrollable temper. Until a long-hidden illness was diagnosed, and her amazing recovery began.The Triumph-- "Call Me Anna" is an American success story that grew out of bizarre and desperate struggle for survival. A harrowing, ultimately triumphant story told by patty Duke herself--wife, mother, political activist, President of The Screen Actors Guild, and at last, a happy, fulfilled woman whose miralce is her own life.
