Patty Duke would be my guess. She played Helen Keller in the 1962 film The Miracle Worker and at 16 became the youngest winner of a full-sized Academy Award (not just a "Kid Oscar") as Best Supporting Actress.

The word was "water," the first word spoken by the blind and deaf girl--a breakthrough brought about by her teacher, Annie Sullivan (played by Anne Bancroft, who won Best Actress).
