Bancroft, Anne
▪ 2006
Anna Maria Louisa Italiano 
      American actress (b. Sept. 17, 1931, Bronx, N.Y.—d. June 6, 2005, New York, N.Y.), was a versatile performer whose half-century-long career was studded with renowned successes on stage, screen, and television. She won both a Tony Award and an Academy Award for one of her most physically and emotionally demanding roles, that of Helen Keller's teacher, Annie Sullivan, in The Miracle Worker (Broadway, 1959; film, 1962), but it was with another Oscar-nominated film role, the seductive Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate (1967), that—to her bewilderment—she was most identified. Bancroft began her career in the 1950s in live television productions, including the comedy series The Goldbergs, and in a number of grade-B or C movies. Her Broadway debut in the two-character drama Two for the Seesaw (1958), however, brought her wide recognition for the depth of her talent and garnered her a best supporting actress Tony. The role of Annie Sullivan followed the next year. Bancroft also received Oscar nominations for her performances in The Pumpkin Eater (1964), The Turning Point (1977), and Agnes of God (1985). Other notable film credits included The Slender Thread (1965), Young Winston (1972), The Elephant Man (1980), 'Night, Mother (1986), and 84 Charing Cross Road (1987), as well as three with her second husband, comedian-director-producer Mel Brooks—Silent Movie (1976), To Be or Not to Be (1983), and Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995). For one of Bancroft's occasional returns to the stage— Golda (1977)—she received a third Tony nomination, and television roles in PBS's Mrs. Cage (1992) and CBS's Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All (1994) earned her Emmy Award nominations.
