Actress Patty Duke has died, aged 69.
The star passed away on Tuesday morning (March 29), according to a statement from her representative.
"Her cause of death was sepsis from a ruptured intestine," the announcement reads. "She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a friend, a mental health advocate and a cultural icon. She will be missed."

Patty took the role to the big screen in 1962, and won a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her portrayal.
At 16, she became the youngest person ever to win an Oscar.
Duke also starred in her own sitcom, The Patty Duke Show, in the early-to-mid 1960s and then made history in 1965 as the star of Billie,...
