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.

#OnThisDay, April 5, 1887, teacher Anne Sullivan taught her blind and deaf pupil, Helen Keller, the meaning of the word “water” as spelled out in the manual alphabet (depicted in The Miracle Worker, 1962)

Just watched The Miracle Worker on TCM so of course I’m a blubbery mess of tears. The movie packs a number of emotional punches at the end and none of them are cheap.
