Anne Bancroft, RIP
Every young man, as a right of passage, should watch The Graduate at some point. When I read yesterday that Anne Bancroft, the REASON to see the movie, had passed away, it was a bit of a shock.
In some ways, I can imagine that Bancroft, who was a wonderful actress, may not have liked being thought of as Mrs. Robinson. But The Graduate, which is on my list of top five movies of all-time, would have been tough to follow.
Especially because no one could have played that part as well.
Rest in peace, Anne Bancroft.
