I just wanted to announce that Anne Bancroft has passed away today. She had cancer and was 73 years old. Though she and Duke did not do a movie together, they have something related. They were both parents to Katharine Ross in a years time. Her mother in 1967 was Bancroft in The Graduate as Elaine Robinson, and in 1968 was Duke's daughter, Tish Buckman in The Hellfighters.
Bancroft was married to Mel Brooks for 40 years with one son. Rest In Peace, Anne.
