The Goddess (1958) Direction: John Cromwell Screenplay: Paddy Chayefsky Cast: Kim Stanley, Lloyd Bridges, Steven Hill, Betty Lou Holland, Joan Copeland, Gerald Hiken, Patty Duke Kim Stanley in The Goddess Paddy Chayefsky evokes a cynical Tennessee Williams in his screenplay for The Goddess, a Hollywood cautionary tale directed by veteran John Cromwell. Episodic in progression — the film is broken into three pulpy chapters — The Goddess serves as a spotlight for a daring Kim Stanley performance, playing within the middle-brow arena of melodrama even as it stages dark comedy and acute commentary. In The Goddess, Stanley is Emily Ann Faulkner, a broken woman from rural hickdom who has been abandoned by her irresponsible mother. (The child is portrayed by [...] »

Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine") will make her Broadway debut next March in the first rialto revival of 1960 best play winner "The Miracle Worker." Breslin will play Helen Keller while Tony nominee Alison Pill ("The Lieutenant of Inishmore") takes on the role of her inspirational teacher Annie Sullivan. Besides that win for playwright William Gibson, the original production also took Tonys for lead actress Anne Bancroft as Sullivan and director Arthur Penn. Surprisingly Patty Duke was not even nominated for her extraordinary portrayal of the deaf and blind Keller. However, Duke did win the supporting actress Oscar two years later for the film version. And Bancroft became the fourth of an eventual... »

Can the media alter the public's perception of an actor? I believe so - that's why we have the likes of Megan Fox hugging the headlines and getting the covers of men's magazines, while a lot of more talented young actresses could not even manage to get featured and have interviews. If you think about it, what has she done in the movies to deserve so much publicity and attention? - - -
- - - Some may argue, 'hey, don't blame her, she's just good at playing the Hollywood game, and she got a shrewd agent managing her career!'. That maybe so and yes, I agree when others say 'she'll not last another year - others will soon take over'. There are those who may say 'Agents and talent managers always take care of their wards - that's why stars have a public image and a private one'. »

Identical cousins is not something you see on television everyday (and, okay, with good reason), but the odd duo played by Patty Duke won over audiences in a big way. Created by Sidney Sheldon and William Asher (who would go on to direct Bewitched, Gidget, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and more), The Patty Duke Show managed a fairly impressive run and was a lot of fun. The complete first season release, which may be worth it to some for the pilot alone, is really a nice treatment considering the relative obscurity of the show today. On 6 discs, the episodes look surprisingly good considering when they were filmed and the fact that the show isn't going to get a major restoration effort. The set also includes brand-new interviews with Patty Duke, William Schallert, Paul O'Keefe, and Eddie Applegate. »

2009 is starting to look like The Year of the Dual Role, with the stars of three major festival films acting opposite themselves as Patty Duke-esque physical copies with polar opposite personalities. In “Leaves of Grass,” Edward Norton plays classically dissimilar twin brothers –– Brady is id, Bill is superego –– who come together after a long stretch of estrangement. Norton’s dual characterization and Tim Blake Nelson’s slight-of-hand staging is more … »
