SEK Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Anne Bancroft was one of my favorites. She always seemed to bring a soulful resonance to her roles. She and Mel Brooks seemed to share a great love and life together. So my sympathies go out to one of the world's great comedic performers and writers.

catesta Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 How very sad. I loved her, she reminded me of a great aunt I had. RIP, Anne. BTW, if you've never seen the film The Prisoner of Second Avenue with Bancroft and Jack Lemmon, do yourself a favor and watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 A beautiful woman for whom beauty of spirit and physical attractiveness seemed to be so deeply entwined as to ultimately make no difference which was which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wheel Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Very sad. Mel Brooks is the uncle of a family friend. I hope they are doing well during this tough time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 A beautiful woman for whom beauty of spirit and physical attractiveness seemed to be so deeply entwined as to ultimately make no difference which was which. ← Nicely put. One of my favorites. Anybody ever seen a 1960's film entitled "Pumpkin Eater"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Great lady, great actress. Anne Bancroft was superb in 'The Miracle Worker'. Wish I had seen this on stage but watching her performance on screen in the Arthur Penn film adaptation was gripping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphie_boy Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Very sad. She was a great dramatic and comedic actress. Loved her in Fatso with Dom DeLuise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
