Odd how she played 2 identical cousins and then wound up having bipolar disorder.

I always thought she was very funny. Her autobiography "Call me Anna" is really interesting.

Love her!!! I miss that. I loved that & Sally Field's Gidget. 2 cute girls. Patty went thru hell tho being molested for years by her step-father/manager. Or somebody in power in her life. Gawd, doesnt she have a child with Desi Arnaz Jr? Yes, she does! Wonder what he looks like now? He would have to be close to 40 years old. Imagine having Lucy as your granma!! How cool!!! 6 degrees of separation, I'm tellin' ya.

you can lose your mind...
when cousins are too of a kind.

Everything was so innocent then. Who knew she was crazy? She was good though. Academy award for Helen Keller role in Miracle Worker? Remember Neely in Valley of the Dolls? Another child actor who almost lost it.

Her two boys are actors
Sean and MacKenzie. I think they are both John Astin's kids (Gomez from Addams Family). Sean was Lord of the Rings, MacKenzie was in Facts of Life years ago.

Riiight about John Astin and her younger sons. I forgot about John. He's funny. It's so weird how they got together, right? Well, the child in question is Sean. I think he was eventually found out to be by her 2nd husband anyways.

I loved this show, as well as Gidget, and the Flying Nun.
Times were more innocent for a lot of people. I wish we had a little of that, now.
I loved Valley of the Dolls. It was really shocking for its time, but a great multiple story line.
