While I'm out stalking pussycats, you can watch the trailer for Billie, a 1965 movie that starred Patty Duke. Ms. Duke was, as the trailer generously informs us, the star of The Patty Duke Show. I'm sure that cleared things up for many puzzled moviegoers.
This is maybe the most "sixties" movie ever made and I'm not recommending you seek it out; just that you watch the trailer, which I believe was voiceovered by Mason Adams. I think Patty Duke was (and still is) an amazingly skilled actress but there was a time there when someone who didn't have her best interests at heart was trying to market her as Annette Funicello or I don't know what. It was probably the same person who picked out the wig she's wearing.
Billie had a terrific supporting cast which included Jim Backus, Warren Berlinger (in his teen heartthrob days), Billy DeWolfe and our favorite character actor, Charles Lane. That's Charles Lane playing the coach at the beginning of this…in scenes, by the way, shot on the campus of University High School in West Los Angeles. I ran around that track many a time in my day…a few years after Patty Duke but with much the same hairdo. It's quite an odd film but remember — if you ever get the chance to see it — that I did not recommend you do any such thing.
