Winning an Oscar is a dream for every actor who makes a movie. For one woman in North Idaho, it was a reality 50 years ago. And, as she enters her third act, the woman the world knows as Patty Duke is looking back on that historic night in 1963. "The feeling I had was being in awe," she says, remembering that magical Hollywood night. "Bette Davis was there, Gregory Peck..." In the midst of those legends sat a 16-year old girl, given name Anna Duke, who was about to become one herself. She was up against Hollywood heavy hitters like Angela Lansbury. A novelty because of her young age, Duke was an icon already because of the role for which she was nominated. "The role itself - the dominating spirit of Hellen Keller as a child," Duke says, describing her role in The Miracle Worker. "The rage that is inside, because she's trapped in there. She exists. She's not just deaf, dumb and blind - there's a soul in there!"/Melissa Luck, KXLY executive producer. More here.
