"Don't Just Stand There" #8 8/14/1965

Patty Duke was another of those preyed-upon child stars - abandoned by her parents, abused financially and psychologically by managers, etc. Despite that, she won acclaim for playing a young Helen Keller in "The Miracle Worker" on Broadway and as identical cousins (huh?) on her own TV show. She even made a few records - but boy, does this one sound suspiciously like Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me."
