Not Raised By Her Biological Parents
Patty Duke’s biological parents were alienated from her when she was a child. Her father was gone, and her mother was suffering from mental illness. Her talent agents were appointed as her legal guardians as a result. Even this arrangement, however, did not work out. John and Ethel Ross also looked after her brother, and neither was given the attention or support that a developing youngster requires. Instead, they exploited the youngster for their own gain, charging unnecessarily exorbitant fees from her earnings.
