Patty Duke was a Broadway star at 12, a teenaged Academy Award winner and had a decades-long career as an actress on television.
But to many of her fans, she will always be the girl from Brooklyn Heights.
From 1963 to 1966, the Queens native took on the dual roles of "identical cousins" in the wholesome ABC sitcom "The Patty Duke Show."
If you've ever heard the show's catchy theme song, you'd know that Cathy Lane and Patty Lane, both played by Duke, may have looked the same but "they're different as night and day."
While Cathy had "lived most everywhere" and enjoyed the finer things in life, Patty had "only seen the sights a girl can see from Brooklyn Heights."
Duke, who died this week at 69, was remembered by her local followers as "Patty" who lived on Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights.

If you were a kid in the 1960s, you may remember Patty Duke fondly. "Brooklyn Heights" seemed magical to me due to Patty. Thank you and RIP.

The actress even reprised the roles of Patty and Cathy in the 1999 TV movie "The Patty Duke Show: Still Rockin' in Brooklyn Heights."
