From the time Sean [son Sean Astin] was born, until I was diagnosed, I was murder to live with. I don`t think I was marriage material at all until seven years ago.
[on her wardrobe on "The Patty Duke Show" (1963)] Not only did I hate those clothes, but they put my name on some and successfully merchandised them, so a lot of other poor girls were walking around with the same ugly clothes I had to wear.
I subscribe to the theory that says you`re a product of all your experiences. And I am finally, most of the time, happy with the product. I now think it is OK to be Patty Duke.
