I like remembering things as much as I like discovering things ... and sometimes the experience is one and the same!

I've put on the first episode of The Patty Duke Show.

For those who don't know, it is about the life of two cousins... *identical* cousins.

You can swallow that story. Or, like me, you can wonder what kind of family history made it so that two identical twins were separated at birth.

The Miracle Worker

My favorite scene from one of my favorite films. With #AnneBancroft as teacher #AnnieSullivan and #PattyDuke as #HelenKeller. The expression on the actor's faces!
Directed by #ArthurPenn in 1962 the film received 5 Oscar nominations with wins by both of these actors.
