`PATTY DUKE SHOW' REUNION ON TRACK.


Byline: Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith

Patty Duke Patty Duke (born December 14, 1946) is an Academy Award-winning American actress of the stage and screen. She currently resides in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Childhood
She was born Anna Marie Duke in Manhattan, New York, U.S. to an Irish American father, John P.
 will be getting back together with herself to play identical cousins in a reunion TV movie of the vintage ``The Patty Duke Show.''

Actually, she thought it would happen this year. But ...

``It's almost embarrassing. It's taken 18 months of negotiating to put this together - and I'm talking I'm Talking was a 1980s Australian funk-pop rock band, noted for launching vocalist Kate Ceberano. History

 about negotiating on a daily basis,'' reveals the actress. ``Because everything on the show happened so far back, there was the matter of finding where all the different records were kept and who owns what. And believe me, no one involved was going to move forward until we found out who owns what,'' she laughs. ``But now, I can tell you, we're supposed to start shooting in February.''

Duke, who stars Sunday in ``Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory'' on CBS (Cell Broadcast Service) See cell broadcast. , says she has ``no clue'' as to what will befall be·fall

 TV cousins Cathy (the one ``who's lived most everywhere, from Zanzibar to Barclay Square'') and Patty (the one who ``loves to rock 'n' roll rock 'n' roll: see rock music. , a hot dog makes her lose control'') in the new telepic. ``But there is one thing I've learned about these reunion shows. At first, I thought, `Wow! We have all kinds of opportunities here to get wild!' But people don't seem to like that. The reunions that have gone over the best are those that stay very close to the original.''

The videoland view

Up goes the voltage on the set of NBC's ``Friends.'' Patsy Kensit Patricia Jude Frances Kensit (born 4 March, 1968 in Hounslow, Middlesex) is an English actress and singer, and is also well-known for her three celebrity marriages. Career

 is coming aboard the show as a new love interest for Ross (David Schwimmer).

The very hot London actress and her man, Liam Gallagher of Oasis, have been dubbed ``a royal couple of pop culture'' and ``the Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull of the '90s,'' in case you didn't know.

And Patsy, once best-known as Mel Gibson's leading lady in ``Lethal Weapon II,'' is considered a queen of the London style scene. Anyway, she started work on ``Friends'' this week with a segment in which Ross' ex, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), arm-twists him into escorting out-of-town company to an opera. Ross is unhappy about it - until he lays eyes on the visitor. Kensit's story arc is expected to debut on air around the end of January.

Damon Wayans began production on his half-hour sitcom for Fox this week. It's called ``The Designer.'' ``SCTV'' alum Andrea Martin is aboard as a police captain who has an affair with a delivery boy, which makes the show more interesting than most right off the bat.

SHAME! It's hard to believe reports that David Puttnam, who's brought the world such prestigious film fare as ``Chariots of Fire'' and ``The Killing Fields,'' actually is casting porno star Christina Hance in the title role of a biopic bi·o·pic

Star trek

Actress Kelly McGillis has big plans for the future that have nothing to do with show business. She expects to sail down the Amazon and around South America on a schooner schooner (sk`nər), sailing vessel, rigged fore-and-aft, with from two to seven masts.  that her husband and she will crew, with their daughters, ages 4 and 7, along for the ride.

They took an even more ambitious trip once before, when the girls were very young. They bought a 110-foot sailing boat in England, crossed the English channel in it and then made their way to Gibraltar, the Canary Islands and across the Atlantic Ocean Across the Atlantic Ocean is the twenty-eighth episode[1] of Mobile Suit Gundam.

 home. That trip, she says, took six or seven months.

Last year, the boat was destroyed by fire. They want to buy a new one, take off ``and not set any time limits,'' she says. ``The secret to a successful sailing trip is not to set time limits.''

Another chapter

We reported recently that Didi DIDI Digital Image Design Incorporated (New York)  Conn, who played Frenchy in the 1978 ``Grease,'' was putting together ``Frenchy's Grease Scrapbook A Macintosh disk file that holds frequently used text and graphics objects, such as a company letterhead. Contrast with "clipboard," which is reserved memory that holds data only for the current session.  - We'll Always Be Together,'' for publication in conjunction with next March's re-issuance of the movie musical. Well, now we can tell you that Doug West, the son of Eve Arden, has optioned the ``Scrapobook'' for a television special - and three of the networks are eager to air it.
