Actress Anne Bancroft, who famously portrayed Mrs Robinson in 'The Graduate' has died. She was 73.
Wife to Mel Brooks, mother to Maximillian, she succumbed to cancer at Mt Siani hospital on Monday.
Of her role alongside Dustin Hoffman in the 1967 film she had once said: “I am quite surprised that with all my work, and some of it is very, very good, that nobody talks about ‘The Miracle Worker.’ We’re talking about Mrs. Robinson. I understand the world. ... I’m just a little dismayed that people aren’t beyond it yet.”
Goodbye to you, Mrs Robinson....
