She was also a polar explorer.

When I think of her I think of The Miracle Worker, and her magnificent portrayal of Anne Sullivan.

A wonderful, underrated film and her favorite, from what I gather. A great beauty, a great talent. Salt of the earth type too. No Hollywood BS about her.

What the heck...

Here's to you Mrs. Robinson

[poobear]

I loved her work. Her performance in 'Night Mother' was brilliant too. I didn't know she was sick. R.I.P. Ms. Bancroft.

[DCPatriot]

She died again??

Already posted a half dozen times.

[Buck72]

She never did mind the little things...

[SandyB]

Why didnt she get a hysterectomy and cut that cancer out before it killed her?

[R.W.Ratikal]

Mrs. Bancroft was pure class. She never used her celerbity to sell goofy causes. Whatever her politics were they were kept to herself.

R.I.P.

Had to be true love to be married to Brooks for 49 years if he had any Blazing Saddles campfire behavior in him.

[John Robertson]

My wife and I met her once, in Los Angeles, at a play preview. She was charming, earthy, direct, droll, lovely. Her husband Mel Brooks was there, met him too. Mel Brooks in person was the nonstop funniest guy I've ever met. He was instantly "on," and my wife and I were laughing so hard our faces hurt.
