Area 77

Anne was known for her role in ‘The Graduate’ as Mrs. Robinson, staring alongside a very young Dustin Hoffman. Even though I haven’t seen enough of her movies to actually appreciate what she has given, I believe that ‘The Miracle Worker’ would still be my favorite of her movies if I had seen them all. Her role as Annie Sullivan, Helen Keller’s teacher, won her a Best Actress Oscar from the Academy in 1962.

Actress Anne Bancroft died Monday of cancer. A great loss to husband Mel Brooks but a greater addition to film history and Hollywood legends.
