"Anna Marie "Patty" Duke (born December 14, 1946) is an American actress of stage, film, and television. First becoming famous as a child star, winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at age 16, and later starring in her eponymous sitcom for three years, she progressed to more mature roles upon playing Neely O'Hara in the 1967 film Valley of the Dolls. She was later elected president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1985 to 1988." - Wikipedia

lyrics

Screen-test eyes and a grown-up look,
I fell in love with Patty Duke,
Not the blind, deaf, dumb girl,
Not the TV teenager.
The Valley of Dolls, a drink in her fist,
Sparkle neck, curled lip,
Slumps on the stairs and lets down her hair,
Greed anger lust and fear..
There is love in the air.
Mixing up dolls with alcohol shots,
They say I’m drunk even when I am not.
The actress behind the sadness and sorrow,
Look in her eyes, see through her soul.

Wipes a hand across her lips,
Cleans the stains from an angel face.
Why so sad in a diamond house?
Playful eyes, open mouth..
There is love in the air.
Mixing up dolls with alcohol shots,
They say I’m drunk even when I am not.
The actress behind the sadness and sorrow,
Look in her eyes, see through her soul.
We’re mixing up dolls with alcohol shots,
They say we’re drunk even when we are not.
The actress behind the sadness and sorrow,
Look in her eyes, see through her soul.
