Beloved actress Patty Duke died at the age of 69 from sepsis from a ruptured intestine and Howard Stern took some time on his SiriusXM radio show to remember the late actress.

"Howard said Patty Duke was married to Gomez Addams. He said that's the greatest thing about her," according to MarksFriggin.

"Howard said Gomez was the greatest character on TV ever. Howard said that she was married to him.

Ronnie said that John Astin is 86 years old today and he's still alive. Howard said that guy was so great in that role. Howard said you have to go back and watch him on The Addams Family."

Stern also enjoyed the Patty Duke show where Duke played identical cousins. From what Stern remembered about her career, he says she was really good at he job.

He talked about her rough childhood after being given away her parents and raised by her manager. He talked about her struggles with going bi-polar to which he placed the blame on the people who raised her.

The segment was brief but Stern really wanted to acknowledge the talented actress.
