starring
Patty Duke Astin Melissa Gilbert
As a child, Helen Keller was not only blind, deaf and dumb but so uncontrollable that her parents were on the verge of sending her to an asylum.
Instead, they hired
Annie Sullivan , a remarkable young woman, herself half-blind, who with infinite patience, determination and love rescued Helen from her misery and darkness.
This new version of William Gibson 's powerful and moving drama stars Patty Duke Astin , who won an Oscar in 1962 for her performance as Helen Keller , and who now plays Helen's dedicated teacher.
