R.I.P. Anne Bancroft

She will forever be remembered as Mrs. Robinson, but legendary actress Anne Bancroft passed away on Monday evening at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Broadway theaters plan to dim their marquees tonight in her honor.
"More happens in her face in 10 seconds than happens in most women’s faces in 10 years.”
Director William Gibson

Sad… I wanted to be seuced by her…
I shall always remember her as both a dramatic actress and a comedienne (SILENT MOVIE and wife of Mel Brooks).

Since I first saw it in 1987, THE GRADUATE has been my favorite movie of all time. She is one of the reasons why.
