she was in a show I remember being on in re-runs. I remember my mom liked it, but my dad called it "The Patti Puke" show.
according to wikipedia, she was more famous for playing Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker.
I love how the stories they teach kids about Helen Keller always end when she learns to speak, therefore omitting the rest of her life that involved her becoming a member of the Socialist Workers of America, frequent critic of capitalism in America, & the working and living conditions of the poor and working class here.
"okay, she speaks and lives happily ever after. now move along, children. nothing more to see here."
