Patty Duke dies at 69; Oscar winner was the youngest at the time to receive the award

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-patty-duke-dead-story.html

I loved the Patty Duke show, but when I found out that Cathy and Patty were the same person, I just flat didn't believe it. I didn't know about "camera magic". LOL.

Patty's house was beautiful. It's too bad that Roman said it was too expensive to buy. I wonder what Patty was asking. Then they moved to that Cielo Drive dump. I never liked that place. $1200/month was a lot of rent back in 1969. What is that in today's dollars? $4800.00/month???

People said the view was good, but who cares about the view? All you could see was smog anyway. I've been to LA when the smog was so bad you couldn't even see the Hollywood sign.

That's a LOT of dough. It would have been better to buy Patty's house and make house payments of $4800.00/month, but going towards principle.

The funny thing is Roman and Sharon weren't even there for the duration of the rent on that dump. They left in March of 1969, and Sharon returned in July of 1969. I wonder if Gibby was paying rent while they were gone. Probably not. Roman hadn't paid the rent by August 9th, so I guess he was behind on his rent payments.

That Cielo Drive property was beautiful when Michele Morgan owned it. Exquisite!

But when Rudi bought it he let it go way down. What kind of guy rents out a house and lives in the guest house? And he evidently didn't repaint every time a tenant moved out.

That would have been a sign to me that something was definitely wrong. I wonder if the toilets flushed or the bathtubs drained.

Oh well, maybe $1200.00/month was a bargain back then.

Seriously folks, I wonder if Roman told Gibby to pay the rent from April thru July when he and Sharon weren't there and Gibby & Voytek were living there, and then the August rent was in contention because Sharon was back. One of the reasons Rudi sued Sharon's estate was because the August rent wasn't paid.

I'm still waiting for Venus' thread on Charles Milles Maddox Manson.

I don't know enough about Islam to verify or refute this guy's facts, but nonetheless, he's damn hilarious.
This guy should do stand-up comedy.

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He looks like King Kong with a purple shirt.

We need to back this up with The Name Game.

Obama hama bo bama, banana fanna fo fama, fi fie mo mama, Bama.

Tex Tex bo bex, banana fanna fo fex, fi fie mo mex. Tex.

Charlie Charlie bo barley, banana fanna fo farley, fi fie mo marley. Charlie.

And there isn't any name that can't rhyme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MJLi5_dyn0

That Islamic guy sounds gay. He's probably worried about where to go the bathroom. He keeps sucking his lips. That is sooo gay.

Where did these people go to the bathroom before Bruce Jenner decided to bust out with his fake tits, size 13 high heels, an eye that was put out, and a surgically tightened mouth that makes him talk like he doesn't have a tongue anymore? Like he has tape on his mouth? Or stitches on his mouth?

Wow King Kong ended by saying God is Satan.

Like A. Bunker used to say. DUCK!!! HA HA HA.

Did somebody fart?

Oh... I'm sorry... it was just Katie piping off.

I guess Lynyrd didn't get the cosmic joke.

Oh Hi Lynyrd!! LOL

"That Cielo Drive property was beautiful when Michele Morgan owned it. Exquisite!" - Katie

I totally agree! Ms. Morgan decorated it beautifully and it looked really lovely. I also think in 1969 that the property had deteriorated and was in desperate need of a makeover. It looked kind of unkempt. I loved the outside of the house, though.

You're welcome, Carol. Katie (as usual) did an awesome job of posting it.

I also agree the house was "exquisite" (perfect word) when Michele Morgan owned it, the furniture was perfect, it was just incredible.

We know the furniture (at least in the living room) was the same for a while, it was there when Samantha Eggar lived there too so I wonder how many tenants used it.

I think the studio helped with the rental payments since Roman was planning to use the upstairs of the garage as an office, but I have no idea if they actually did pay any of the rent or, if they did, who knows how much they did pay?

Roman and Patty's husband couldn't agree on a price for the house, that's why they didn't buy it. (think what the house cost then vs. what it'd be worth now!)
