Sad news.

Yes, sad.

I didn't know she was married to Mel Brooks.

Just read the news. RIP.

She played a Southern sentator very well in G.I. Jane.

[Free For All]

I recently saw a film she did w/Anthony Hopkins called Charring Cross. Very good film.

RIP

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.

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.

Always enjoyed seeing her on the screen. She had true style, grace, and presence.

Thank you for all you gave to us, Ms. Bancroft.

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.

This is really sad. She was very special. Beautiful in every way.

[Big Wheel]

Very sad. Mel Brooks is the uncle of a family friend. I hope they are doing well during this tough time.

Nicely put. One of my favorites. Anybody ever seen a 1960's film entitled "Pumpkin Eater"?

I agree, 84 Charing Cross Road is a great movie.

Yes, that's it. Sorry for the title mangling. Thanks Hans.

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.

Very sad. She was a great dramatic and comedic actress. Loved her in Fatso with Dom DeLuise.
