A Life of Celebrity Awaits!

November 28th, 2008

Helen Keller was to make three movies during her lifetime.  The second film to be based on Helen’s life, and personally featuring her, was titled Unconquered and was a general success despite the fact that it downplayed Helen’s handicap and everyday struggles.  The third and most popular film was The Miracle Worker, adapted from its success as a play and magictricks on Broadway starring Patty Duke.  The focus of this film is on Helen’s early life and her subsequent awakening to the world.  Hollywood held a special fascination for Helen; as she loved the opportunity it allowed her fly in biplanes, go horseback riding in Beverly Hills, and to meet stars like Charlie Chaplin.
