 WTAworld.com - 30th Anniversary of Pyramid
The Neely O'Hara Whammie was short, ugly, had a screechy voice, and then a large red doll came down and squashed her!
The Whammie came out in a rust/orange/green/gold pant suit with a red wig and sung "I'll Plant My Own Whammie." Neely got a whammy later, AFTER I did.
Yes, Helen, you were called in at the last minute to fill in for Totie Fields who had emergency gallstone surgery that week.

 TQR&R - Patty Duke Sings Songs From Valley Of The Dolls And Other Selections
This is the personality of 'Neely O'Hara' in "Valley Of The Dolls", the destroying and self destructive, self-centered and eruptive singer which Patty Duke portrays with such power and verisimilitude.
If it were at all possible, Patty Duke surpasses herself as Neely O'Hara in "Dolls", and one detects the magic of her talents in the warm modulations of her voice, in the heart-touching airs, the nostalgic themes, and above all, the deeply moving arias which come through.
Her achievements as a stage and motion picture actress, crowned with a coveted and much deserved Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Oscar Award for her unforgettable performance as young Helen Keller in 'The Miracle Worker' are well known.

 Bookreporter.com - JACQUELINE SUSANN'S SHADOW OF THE DOLLS by Rae Lawrence
Readers are asked to wonder whatever happened to Anne Welles and Neely O'Hara, the two stars of the earlier book.
JACQUELINE SUSANN'S SHADOW OF THE DOLLS twists and turns, following the lives of Neely and Anne as they cope with divorce and single-motherhood, addiction, affairs, and last-chances at stardom.
Curiously, the characters are only 10 years older in this book than they were in the original, but if you can suspend your disbelief, JACQUELINE SUSANN'S SHADOW OF THE DOLLS is a hoot and a half.

 Amazon.com: Torch Song (1953) / Movie (1953) : Video
When Patty Duke, as Neely O'Hara, performs a song called, "It's Impossible" on a telethon within the movie, it is not only impossible, it is painful.
The song is schlock, and Neely, in a silly sweater and skirt, is completely upstaged by the double strand of beads she is wearing.

 Borders - Store Inventory - Title Detail - Jacqueline Susann's Shadow of the Dolls
Before her death in 1974, Susann spent many months working on a draft for a sequel that continued the stories of Anne Welles, Neely O'Hara, and Lyon Burke.
Long a devoted "Valley" girl herself, Rae has re-imagined the original characters in a contemporary reality (and adjusted their ages just a bit), exactly as Jackie would have wanted her to.
Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls was one of the sexiest, most shocking, and most sensational novels ever to fly off the shelves.

 Amazon.com: Books: Jacqueline Susann's Shadow of the Dolls: A Novel
Beginning in 1987, the novel opens with the words "Whatever happened to Anne Wells?" Fans of Valley of the Dolls will enjoy reading about Anne and Neely O'Hara and Lyon Burke and their teenage children although, surprisingly, the main characters are only ten years older than in the original book.
Sure, Lawrence is no Susann (but has she ever prentended to be?), and her characters could have been a tad meatier (come to think of it, Susann's as well), but, hey, this isn't the work of Proust we're talking here, but a fun and diversionary follow-up to the pop lit classic of all time.
When Jacqueline Susann died in 1974, she left behind notes for a sequel to her divinely campy 1966 bestseller, Valley of the Dolls.

 Patty Duke
Duke lobbied for and landed the role of Neely O'Hara in 1967's risqué Valley of the Dolls, with Sharon Tate and Barbara Parkins.
Duke was a natural for the part, and the managers quickly lost interest in Ray and began to concentrate exclusively on Anna.
In 1982, Duke was diagnosed as manic-depressive, and she has said that after a couple of weeks on lithium, she felt normal for the first time in her life.

 Porn Star Stefano's `Fatale' Attraction / One-man play recounts brief life of sex, drugs
But faster than you can say ``Neely O'Hara, where are you?'' little Joey found himself on a roller coaster of too many drugs and even too much sex: He famously wasn't in it for the money; he really was in it for the orgies.
The niche audience of Stefano fans may want to check this out, but simulated sex in a one-man show is not exactly titillating.
Joey Stefano lived fast, died young and left one beautiful corpse.
