Patty Duke (December 14, 1946- March 29, 2016) titled her 1987 autobiography "Call Me Anna" because she was born Anna Marie Duke. She was an American actress, appearing on stage, film, and television. She first became known as a teen star, winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at age 16 for her role as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker (1962), a role which she had originated on Broadway. The following year she was given her own show, "The Patty Duke Show" in which she portrayed "identical cousins". She later progressed to more mature roles such as that of Neely O'Hara in the film "Valley of the Dolls" (1967). Over the course of her career, she received ten Emmy Award nominations and three Emmy Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. Duke also served as president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1985 to 1988.

In 1987, Duke revealed in her autobiography that she had been diagnosed with manic depression (now called bipolar disorder) in 1982, becoming one of the first public figures to speak out about personal experience of mental health. She lobbied the United States Congress and joined forces with the National Institute of Mental Health and National Alliance on Mental Illness in order to increase awareness, funding and research for people with mental illness. In 2007, Duke appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show talking about her bipolar disorder.

Duke died in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho of sepsis from a ruptured intestine at the age of 69.
