Di I

I am compelled to correct a post from seven months ago regarding the cast. Anne Bancroft did indeed play Annie Sullivan in this movie and Patty Duke played Helen Keller. The poster for some reason believed it was the other way around. Maybe she was remembering a production from years later when Patty Duke did play Annie and Melissa Gilbert played Helen. But that was not this 1962 movie for which Anne Bancroft won an Oscar for best actress, and Patty Duke won best supporting actress at 16 years old.
