Russe and Crepe Suzette.

I'm hearing that appended to more and more written tributes on MOPO
and elsewhere.
None of us are "that old" until....we are.
I toured the UK with Sam Andrew, guitarist for Big brother & the
Holding Co., in 2014. We had a great time and a wonderful personal
and musical rapport. We planned a two guitar tour and were making
preparations for for it when he was struck down by a heart attack
in January 2015. I think that's the first time I used the phrase
"He wasn't that old" (he was 72).
The Reaper is like some white trash trailer park dwelling relative.
When he shows up at the door, you don't want to let him in, but you
have to because, in some macabre way, he's kin.
Meantime, let us not dwell on our own mortality . Let us not spend
our days ruminating on our own personal sell-by date. We know it's
coming. Instead fill your days creating good and new things,
finding ways to acquire that special poster, making ourselves and
those we love happy, and honoring those great talents that brought
us all into this wonderful little hobby.
Today's ear-worm for me is: "Patty adores a minuet, the Eiffel
Tower, and Crepes Suzette, but Patty loves rock'n'roll, a hot dog
makes her lose control, What a wild duet!"
RIP.
Love those personal stories, Sue. Let's all keep 'em coming!

She was a wonderful person. I did a couple of films with her back
in the 70's and 80's. I love her performance in The Miracle
Worker and still watch old reruns of The Patty Duke Show. She was
also fabulous in Valley of the Dolls. I was just speaking about
her a couple of days ago telling a friend about going to her home,
at the time, in Westwood. It was an early Sunday morning and we
were doing a film where the lead actress was fired the day before
and Patty was taking over the role, so we were in a rush to catch
up. I remember walking by a built in bookcase and there was her
Academy Award in the corner of a shelf with a bunch of stuff
leaning against it. Her two sons, Sean and Mackenzie, were
jumping up and down on the couch and, her husband at the time,
John Astin grabbed me by the arm and said "let's make pancakes for
everyone"....it is one of my fondest memories. So sad, she
wasn't that old.....

Academy award winner Patty Duke died today at age 69. She won her
Oscar for 1962’s “The Miracle Worker.” Baby boomers will always
remember her for her role as “identical cousins” Patty and Cathy
Lane in “The Patty Duke Show” (1963-1966). More details at this
