  • "Patty Duke tells her story, from child star to award-winning adult actress and respected show business personality."@en
  • "Patty Duke recounts her life up to 1986, describing her years as a child actress, her controlling management team, her troubled years after "The Patty Duke Show," her four marriages, and her struggle with manic depression."@en
  • "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 mangers stripped her of nearly all that was familiar, beginning with her name. She was deprived of family and friends. Her every word 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 recovery began. The Triumph-- Call Me Anna is an American success story that grew out of a 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 miracle is her own life. From the Paperback edition."@en
  • "A memoir reveals Patty Duke's traumatic and bizarre upbringing, her Academy Award-winning acting career, her headline-making behavior with drugs, drinking, and promiscuity, and her triumphant struggle to a responsible adulthood."
