NEW YORK (Reuters) - Anne Bancroft, the Americanhusky-voiced beauty who rose from an Italian neighborhood in New York to become a Hollywood star immortalized as the seductive Mrs. Robinson in 1967's "The Graduate" has died.
She was 73.
Bancroft died in New York of uterine cancer, a representative for her husband, Mel Brooks, said on Tuesday.
Brooks' spokeswoman said the actress died on Monday evening at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
Born Anna Maria Italiano in 1931 in New York's Bronx borough, she got her start in movies in the 1950s.
She won an Oscar for her 1962 film "The Miracle Worker," where she played the teacher to Helen Keller in the movie directed by Arthur Penn.
Over her long career, she garnered a further four Academy Award nominations and won two Tony Awards for her work on the Broadway stage, including one for the stage version of "The Miracle Worker" in 1960.
In 1964, she married comedian and director Mel Brooks.

Ladies, this might not be the most appropriate thought or statement for a time like this, but please get your physicals.

Mrs. Robinson is I think the most realistic and yet unique film character I've ever seen on film.
I posted this tid bit on ESPN.
She told a great story once about her and MB. She said she came home from a long day on the set and sat down and told him how exhausted she was, how HARD acting was.
He took out a blank sheet of paper and stuck it in the typewriter and put it in front of her and said... "Write something. But here's the stipulation. Write something that someone will PAY money for. THAT'S how hard writing is."_________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |
