impatient to grow up" Patty
Duke told me.
sMy acting career started
when I was eight. I'm fifteen
nov. but often taken for
much younger. I don't know
how other girls feel about
rushing into adulthood, but I
feel you have a comparative
lysshort time to be a young
girl, so why not enjoy it?"
We were chatting on the
"Ben Casey" Tv set at ABC
when Patty m entioned
makeup.
81 don't think a girl should
cover her skin with a lot OF
cook unless she has to cover
up something" Patty de-
clared.
Rich Diet
1T was lucky to have no
trouble with my skin until 1
went on vacation when the
Miracle Worker closed for
Easter week. I went to Ber-
muda and ate lots OF rich
food. When I went back to
work my face was broken out
and I had gained too much
weight. When q person Is as

my health reducing, so l
went to a doctor. He gave me
q diet that he said would
also help my skin.

love it and could eat it three
times a day." Patty grinned.
"But we settled for imitation
ice cream or ice milk. If I
felt like having something
sweet, I had honey. I'll al
ways remember this diet be-
cause I was not hungry and
I lost five pounds, which Is a
lot for me-"
"You were denied three
things, st reiterated, starch,
sugar and anything fried"
You make it sound like
nothing" Patty chided. But
those three things include all
the party foods.
MY doctor told me that it
Is easier to reduce if you
exercise. I like to walk, and
in New York I always take
long walks, and in the sum-
mer swim.
MY skin is oily" Patty
continued. THE minute my
face breaks out. I wash my
hair. Often the cause Of
blemishes is the accumula'
ton of oil and dust arounC
the hairline. So if you keel
YOUR hair as clean as you
face, you'll eliminate an!
possibility of skin problems
! wash my face with
natural sponge and I use
medicated soap and lotion
If you do have a blemish, yol
must remember to keep you,
hands away from it or you'll
spread the infection.

Discipline
''The most discipline I'v
