By Jamie Ruby The comedic drama
Drop Dead Diva centers around a wannabe model who died in an accident and woke up in the body of a plus-size attorney named Jane (Brook Elliott).
Recently the legendary Patty Duke guest starred on the series as Rita O'Riley, a floor-greeter at the store OneStop. She was fired after she tackled and stopped a shoplifter in the store. Things are not what they seem, however, when they realize that Rita has taken on the personality of her deceased sister.
Patty Duke is an accomplished actress, known for her work in projects such as
The Miracle Worker,
The Patty Duke Show, and
Valley of the Dolls. She will also appear in the upcoming film
Amazing Love, alongside her son, Sean Astin.
I recently was lucky enough to take part in a conference call with Ms. Duke, and I was able to ask her quite a few questions.
