Winning In A Game Show
Patty Duke won $32,000 on the game program The $64,000 Challenge when she was 12 years old. Duke was unfortunate enough to be caught in the heart of the Quiz Show Scandals during the 1950s. Duke was suspected of being coached and was forced to testify before the United States Senate. Sonny Fox, the show’s host, later told PBS in a program about the incident, “They coached her. That’s when she was about twelve. Three years later, she’s about fifteen, she was summoned down to the Senate to testify…and she was coached how to lie to the U.S. Senate.” Duke eventually spilled the beans in court.

Giving Credits To The Wrong Comedian
A modern-day comedian and podcaster were incorrectly credited as a guest star on The Patty Duke Show episode “Patty Pits Wits, Two Brits Hits.” Because Marc Maron, the host of the popular podcast WTF, was born the year the show premiered, he would have been unable to play the adolescent, Walter. The Internet Movie Database wrongly counts him as a part of the episode, according to Maron. At the very least, the inaccurate credit provides fodder for his podcast and comic skits!
