PATTY DUKE on JUDY GARLAND in VALLEY OF THE DOLLS @ Castro Theatre Event! 

She did some so-so sitcoms on FX (or was it Fox) when that was getting off the ground. I watched them for her.

Nothing wrong with Lifetime movies- Patty made anything good.

How great it would've been to hear her deliver those bitchy lines at the beginning. Ms. Lawson you haven't signed the contracts - - AND I DON'T INTEND TO!!!! Only hit to come out of a Helen Lawson is Helen Lawson - and that's MEEEEEEEEE, baby REMEMBER?!? 😆

​​​@farrellmcnulty909 Miss Susan Hayward agreed to do the movie ONLY if Miss Garland was paid her full salary. " She's a star. You don't do that to a star" ( Susie also demanded- and got- " twice what you contracted to pay Garland ")

She liked to be called Anna because it's her real name. Those evil ass pedo managers of hers gave her the name Patty.

THE greatest!!

Judy Alcatraz Hollywood drugged and raped her today they are hiding from Epstein's death.Boycott your movies Wake Up America Please.

As a child, I always had a hard time watching her. Her mannerisms and fidgeting were difficult for me. Today, it's different. I still see those but I hear the quality and expression in her voice and acknowledge her as the master of popular song that she is.

I can not believe they Made fun of her, Judy was and is A LEGEND but most of all, a humana being Who needed empathy!!!

Clearly Patty Duke adores Miss Garland.

love her..love Judy

Still bums me out and makes me sad that she passed on.. And then just recently, I read that she was the original choice (All due respect to Hayley Mills) for ''The Trouble With Angels'', along side with Mary Badham ! What A TRIP that would have been !

Richard Michaels The greatest actress ever! I was in the Castro theater in the 70's. It's almost 2020 and Hollywood runs a global pedophile child sex trafficking government. Wonder what she knew.

The director clearly didn't know his business, to put Judy in the position he did indicates he didn't want her hired in the first place. Very cruel. With the right director she might well have been able to make the picture.

It bombed when it came out anyway.

Avery Pack It cost 4 1/2 million dollars to make and raked in about $50 million. That’s OK. I’m kind of glad Judy didn’t make the movie. It was an unsavory role in an unsavory picture.

@@rosemma34 There is a RU-vid mini documentary about Valley where Patty says she finally had had enough from that director and that she decided to clear the air/make her feelings about him known directly to his face. He (according to Patty) said he PURPOSELY treated her the way he did as a device to keep up the level of tension and drama within her and with her co-stars. Patty then says, finding that out DID NOT make the situation better, but instead she was more determined than ever to kill him. You can't help wondering if the director thought she didn't deserve the role, that maybe he saw her as just a passable tv actress? And several actresses were considered BEFORE Judy was hired to play Helen Lawson, Bette Davis wanted that role, too. Unfortunately, Judy needed a comeback desperately and saw this as the role that would do it. Judy was only 44 at the time she started Valley, and her career was " bottoming out ".

@Robert A. Lofgren Jr. It did at that time it came out. It became more of a cult classic later.

I know!!! EVERY time I watch an interview about Judy, it's all about her personal problems😢 it's a crime!!!

Rosses not Roses

Riiiight

Exactly Daniel

Delusional Surfer Bob He’s only one of the funniest writers to ever work in Hollywood.

Delusional Surfer Bob Who the F do you think you are? Let’s see your photo. You’re a sad POS if all you care about is what people look like. You’re not that far removed from being a racist, actually. You are surely a lousy excuse for a human being.

Down to Earth and real. Her passing made me so sad

I still can't believe she's gone! She was an amazing actress and author. We miss you Anna!

Right, but she didn't have plastic surgery, a boob-job, etc. She sort of talks about the real world. This doesn't go over well, in Hollywood.

Cause they're cousins. Identical cousins.

@@jimstokes6742 two of a kind

@@jimstokes6742 she loves to rock-n-roll, a hot-dog makes her lose control.

Ana Nouri They don’t dislike her, they really just don’t remember her work cuz they are probably young.

At a show at Six Flags over GA, a puppet version of Judy has her in a tuxedo jacket and leotard ( a la Summer Stock) sitting on 4 huge letters " J-U-D-Y"

she was bipolar, wich made her life a hell. Poor woman.

She was beautiful. ❤️

Patty Duke was always working as a child… Many people are unaware of the numerous commercials she did, ads, and smaller roles such as two Christmas performances for television. In two, she worked with the great Helen Hayes ( as a Nun )… She worked and worked, doing many roles in early 1950's television.

That show was great and Patty so talented. Her cousin role had a English accent and Patty was so talented playing two parts. 💝

Get on to the point!

Chrille I bet Patty and Judy are in heaven together having a good time.

Who is Anna. Do you mean Patty?

@@marymccaffrey48 Patty Duke's real name: Anna Marie "Patty" Duke

He Is wonderful

Not back then.

steveb1164 I heard Rob Lowe just recently talk about The Outsiders. Everyday when the vans came to pick them up, there were cases of beer for them all. Ralph Macchio was 15.

She was a grown woman and made her own choices at this point

@@reasonrestored9116 So it was okay for some no or little talent to provoke her? (Everyone seems to talk about how hilariously funny she was. I knew one of the dancers in here Palace act, but he never mentioned it, just that she would make them cards and she would cheat.)

Its so weird. Some directors condone alcohol and drug use on the set, and its a well know fact and secret that there are drug dealers lurking about selling their wares to celebrities and anybody else, and yet when it gets out of hand, the powers that be throw the actors/actresses/crew out on their butts and then refuse to even acknowledge their existences anymore.

Hello Michelle, How are you doing?

I'm still very disturbed by her passing

I just got thru reading Connie's autobio, Who's Sorry Now. What a doll she was!

Hello Judy, How are you doing?

That's right! I'd forgotten about that. The VOTD cast must have been shocked about ST and saddened about JG.

That's right. Hadn't thought about that. Curse?

In her book, 'In the Presence of Greatness,' she talks in-depth about the many talented people she worked with. A very engaging read!

Hello Margie, How are you doing?

She was absolutely incredible. 16 years old, hmm? That’s what you refer to as a prodigy. I loved her later work, too. She was damn good in “The Captains & the Kings” - won an Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a mini series or limited series. In fact, I think that was the one Emmy which “Roots” didn’t win - which is saying something as “Roots” was a cultural and artistic phenomenon.

Judy was a tremendous showman! Don't make em like that anymore.

They never did, But we sure hell did.And she passed when I was a kid.Over 50 years now,and her whole body of work still blows ya away.

Who didn't appreciate her? She was wildly popular...and was appreciated more so then than at any time since her passing...

@@photo161 I think maybe younger people, especially born after Judy's passing- which rules me out- don't really know she was a superstar, although that term wasn't used then. Enormously popular, extremely famous. Films, concerts, radio, television, records, nightclubs. Appreciated decade after decade.

I think it would be played/acted the way she did if the movie was made in 2023.

Hello Lydia, How are you doing?

@@liamkilburn2456 Just curious. Of the hundreds of random women you ask "How are you doing?" how many have given you the time of day, much less hooked up with you?
