Synopsis
The star--The public saw her as a gifted child star: the youngest actor to win an Oscar--for her role as Helen Keller in "The Miracle Worker" --and the youngest actor to have a prime time television series bearing her own name.
The Nightmare--What the public did not see was Anna Marie Duke, a young girl whose life changed forever at age seven when tyrannical managers stripped her of nearly all that was familiar, beginning with her name. She was deprived of family and friends. Her every world was programmed, her every action monitored and criticized. She was fed liquor and prescription drugs, taught to lie to get work, and relentlessly drilled to win roles.
The Legend--Out of this nightmare emerged Patty Duke, a show business legend still searching for the child, Anna. She won three Emmy Awards and divorced three husbands. A starring role in "Valley of the Dolls" nearly ruined her career. She was notorious for wild spending sprees, turbulent liaisons, and an uncontrollable temper. Until a long-hidden illness was diagnosed, and her amazing recovery began.
The Triumph-- "Call Me Anna" is an American success story that grew out of bizarre and desperate struggle for survival. A harrowing, ultimately triumphant story told by patty Duke herself--wife, mother, political activist, President of The Screen Actors Guild, and at last, a happy, fulfilled woman whose miralce is her own life.

About the Author
Patty Duke (1946-2016) was a true show business legend whose career spanned six decades. Her Oscar win for her role as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker made her, at the time, the youngest Academy Award winner. She also entered the history books as the youngest person to have a show bearing her full name, with The Patty Duke Show, on which she played genetically unexplainable identical cousins. In addition to her acting, she became the second woman ever elected president of the Screen Actors Guild.
Synopsis
A memoir reveals Patty Duke's traumatic and bizarre upbringing, her Academy Award-winning acting career, her headline-making behavior with drugs, drinking, and promiscuity, and her triumphant struggle to a responsible adulthood.
