The Nightmare- What the public did not see was Anna Marie Duke, a young girl whose life changed forever at age seven when tyrannical mangers stripped her of nearly all that wasfamiliar, beginning with her name. She was deprived of family and friends. Her every word wasprogrammed, 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 emergedPatty Duke, a show business legend still searching for the child, Anna. She won three Emmy Awards and divorced three husbands.
