She was indeed a fine actress and a lady. May she rest in peace.
I understand she and Mel had a pretty good marriage. Prayers for him, too.

Could you correct the name to "Anne"? It's causing confusion. Thanks.

If this is the wife of Mell Brooks I'd suggest asking the moderator to add an "e" to Ann.
Ann Bancroft is a polar explorer. Anne Bancroft, and actress.

She was 36 when she played Mrs. Robinson...Dustin Hoffman was 30.
To: Rodney King
She played many notable roles, the most electrifying being Mrs. Robinson in "The Graduate."

Was she ill or what? She didn't seem that old.
To: Rodney King
Her most famous roles were Mrs. Robinson in "The GRaduate" and Helen Keller's teacher Anne Sullivan in "The Miracle Worker".
She was married to Mel Brooks for many years. Never understood that pairing.

To: Bringbackthedraft
Anne gave a wonderful performance in the move "Fatso", where she played the sister of Dom DeLouise. One of the funniest movies ever made.
The movie was HER!

They got married in 1964, and I've never heard that they were anything but happy.
41 years is a wonderful record.
