Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams recorded this file just weeks before Anna "Patty" Duke's unexpected death. Duke, winner of an Academy Award, multiple Emmys and honored (pre-Tonys) for her Broadway performance of Helen Keller in "The Miracle Worker," performed for 60 years holds many important places in TV herstory. Cynthia recounts the impact the actor's 1987 best selling memoir "Call Me Anna" had on understanding and removing stigma around mental health. Duke candidly discussed bipolar disorder/manic depression on The Phil Donohue in1987.—Cynthia Bemis Abrams
