One of Bancroft's last TV appearances.
Last year's season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
It's hard to believe she's gone. Reading about her memorial was like hearing the news again, for the first time.
MEL BROOKS held a private memorial for his late wife ANNE BANCROFT at New York's St James Theater on Monday (27JUN05). The actress, most famous for her role in THE GRADUATE, died earlier this month (JUN05) after a battle with uterine cancer. She was 73. Around a hundred guests attended the memorial, including singer PAUL SIMON, who played an acoustic version of MRS ROBINSON, written for The Graduate. NATHAN LANE and MATTHEW BRODERICK - who appeared in Brooks' production of THE PRODUCERS on Broadway and in the upcoming movie version - were also in attendance. At the end of the service, Brooks joked, "If any of you are grieving, keep it to yourself. I don't want to hear it." [CONTACT MUSIC]
She was a classy lady, and will always be remembered as such...
