Doing ok, thanks.

I am going to miss that extra paycheck, now and then, when I worked as her stand-in.

Why do you doubt my sincerity, Al? I know you adore the Minuet, the Ballet Russe, and Crepe Suzette.

Pugsley starring in a Geek opera, who'd have thunk it?

John Astin, the only man I ever saw who could do a triple backflip while smoking a double corona and not get ashes on his lapels. Remarkable!

FPE, Duke and Astin's  relationship caused a huge uproar when it first became public. Astin was nearly 20 years older than she was, both their hit TV shows had just wrapped up, she was still seen by the public as a sweet teenage girl while he was perceived as the middle aged perv who'd come to ruin our sweet Patty. Now? No one would blink an eye about it. I've always felt the controversy hurt Astin's career.

I always remember my grandmother asking my older sister why she couldn't wear her hair and behave like Patty Duke.
