re: RIP Patty Duke

I had no idea she was Sean Astin's mom.

I remember that period when she was referred to as Patty Duke-Astin. Gomez is 16 years older. She never thought the fat hobbit was his, although Gomez raised him just like he did Wednesday and Pugsly. She thought Little Ricky was the biological father, but, turns out it was her pre-Gomez husband, William Tell (not of the Lone Ranger Overture, but another guy), who was the biological father of Samwise - and that marriage was annulled.

One hates to speak ill of the dead, but she kind of "got around" as the kids say.

RIP, regardless. Talented lady.
