Patty Duke (in dual role).
Split screen camera techniques (later used on the series BEWITCHED and I
DREAM OF JEANNIE to simulate twin sisters) were used to sandwich both
Patty and Cathy together on the same screen. However, when the scene
called for a back shot (shooting over the shoulder of one actress while
the other faced the camera) actress Rita McLaughlin was used as a stand-in
double completing the illusion of one talking to the other.
