Actress Anne Bancroft died from uterine cancer at age 73. I loved her work in both The Miracle Worker, and The Graduate. She will be missed.

Edward the Bonobo - Gone. Posted Jun 8, 2005
Now, oddly enough...The Graduate was on TV the other night.
One of her greatest talents, which she shared with Marty Feldman, was the ability to move her eyes independently of one another.

abbi normal "Putting on the Ritz" with Dr Frankenstein Posted Jun 8, 2005
I liked her work very much, she could do it all, including comedy
She was married to Mel Brooks (I think) for a very long time.

Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor Posted Jun 9, 2005
She was married to Mel Brooks for a very long time
"You're trying to seduce me, aren't you..." loved that character, loved her laugh, her battle against growing old...
I have a postcard (from the film) which shows the view from under her raised stocking-ed leg, with "Ben" in the distance, and the words "You're trying to seduce me..." above
I'll always treasure it.
for Anne and her family, what a loss
, but at least she touched a lot of people with her life.

There's a picture which always kinda reminded me of it... I thought it was Edward Hopper's but I just checked and found out it wasn't. It's by an artist called Eric Fischl:
