What a powerful couple Anne Bancroft and Mel Brookes made! Such talent and intelligence from each one! She had an Italian ancestry. Mel Brookes must have kept her laughing.
She was an extraordinary actress - gifted and insightful and brought to the screen and stage some of the most memorable and important female characters in our generation. She was also a lovely woman in real life
She was such a classy refined lady that Mel Brooks her lifetime husband was in awe of her. He relaxed when he knew her NY working class roots, her real name (Anna Italiano) and her passion for someone who could make her laugh.
i so admired Anne Bancroft in the film, The Miracle Worker. both her and Patty Duke. as a matter of fact, i relived the well scene just now as i was watching Ms. Bancroft, and sobbed my eyes out. it's amazing what Annie Sullivan did for Helen Keller. i am going to look up the movie right now and see if i can find it on-line so i can watch again soon.
One of Anne Bancroft's most memorable roles was that of Mrs. Robinson in "The Graduate". Dustin Hoffman played the "young" college grad having an affair with an older lady that is friends with his parents. In real life she was only 6 years older than Hoffman. When the movie was released Hoffman was 30 and Bancroft 36. Fantastic performances by both
That was her “screen voice.” Her actual speaking voice was about an octave lower, and when she wasn’t in front of a camera her voice was peppered with “Brooklynese.” In this compilation, you can hear her actual speaking voice: ruclips.net/video/XTujWe175Ts/видео.html
What a group of class act people. That sophistication and intellectuality is so missed and lacking in todays world. Sadly would never be appreciated by an Apprentice era audience.
Anne Bancroft was beautiful and talented. When she died in 2005, it was one of the saddest days of her husband Mel Brooks. He was heartbroken over her passing (Undoubtedly still is, too). Bottom line: Anne Bancroft left this world way too soon.
Aritosthenes Now you know. One thing I didn't know about her until now is that she was Italian-American. She was born to Italian immigrants as Anna Maria Louisa Italiano.
I loved it when I heard part of an interview with her... she was asked “Why did you marry a guy like Mel Brooks.” She answered with “He makes me laugh!”
@@kentetalman9008 I have no idea… it was an old interview someone did with her and I only heard that snippet. It seemed like a ridiculous question to me, but I liked her answer.
I went to Christopher Columbus High School in the Bronx, the same time she attended. I would see her walking down the school hallway and my heart would skip!..I never had the courage to speak to her. She was in many of the school plays which I of course attended. Her name was "Anne Italiano" and of course I had a crush on her for the longest time!..She died much too young!....
gordie eccles You need guts to take the role of an unpopular figure in a play. There is always the risk of being identified with the role, and not judged by your ability in acting. There has been a lot of actors/actresses who has become loved by the public because of several popular role-figures they have done, but they were not always beloved or nice in private matters. Anne Bancroft was a splendid actress in "the Graduate". :)
The next time you watch DON'T BOTHER TO KNOCK (and you should watch that film at least once; it's very good!), which was Anne Bancroft's movie debut in 1952, keep in mind that she was only TWENTY years old when she played lounge singer Lyn Lesley. But she certainly looked and acted a lot older and more experienced - and quite well, too.
@@poetcomic1 I think the Italian background is irrelevant here, Bancroft could have been her real name regardless of the degree of her education, I know you meant well given your comment about her elegance but the post makes it sound that just became her real name is what it is, then it explains her lack of vocabulary.

That was some kiss Cerf and Bancroft exchanged! LOVED her in one of the greatest movies ever made, The Graduate. She brings an immaculate grace to The Elephant Man too.
Last week, I celebrated my 60th birthday. I have fond memories of Ann Bancroft’s movies, she truly was a great actress. It’s easy to watch her movies multiple times!
What a genius Anne was. I loved all of her performances. And she's so sweet and humble here. So different from today's celebrities. Today, many of them are so full of them selves. And they can't even compare to the talent that existed back then. I was just a kid then. So, this is just my opinion. And I loved seeing Anne do sign language. I'm guessing she must have learned it for her role in the Miracle Worker. And I thought it was really adorable when Anne asked what the word Onerous meant. It showed that she didn't know everything despite who she was, and that she was humble enough to ask. Priceless. I really enjoyed seeing Anne here on What's my line. And I can see why Mel Brooks fell in love with Anne Bancroft. I would have too.
The kitchen Scene in The Miracle Worker was one of the most powerful ever put on film. It leaves you exhausted. Also, Anne Bancroft's performance in the very depressing, but highly dramatic, The Pumpkin Eater is equally impressive.

Anne Bancroft was such a class act. I loved her in everything from The Miracle Worker to 84 Charing Cross Road. And she was married to the comedy genius Mel Brooks!
Anne Bancroft gave the best Oscar-winning performance ever given by an Actress in a Leading Role even ahead of Meryl Streep's magnificent performance in "Sophie's Choice".
That's because this was originally shot in 35mm, which is the highest definition format other than 65mm, although of course they were originally broadcast in sub-HD format then; some of the prints are better preserved in digital copies than others.
My all time favorite actress. And her marriage to Mel Brooks always seemed like a match made in heaven, as bizarre as it might have initially struck people on the surface.
Love Anne Bancroft. If you want to see two amazing actors. At the very top of their game. Watch " prisoner of 2nd avenue" Jack Lemon and Anne Bancroft are spectacular in it!!!!
When Mel Brooks first met Anne Bancroft he was immediately smitten. But he did not want to appear too eager and scare her off. She was leaving and he bribed her maid to tell him where she was going. He then showed up at the nightclub she was at and acted all surprised and happy to run into her.
Mel Brooks would come by the yogurt shop I use to work at and he was the nicest customer I had ever served. He would bring his wife Anne and Carl Reiner with his wife. One time I told her I just watched Don’t Bother To Knock with Marilyn Monroe and Ann Bancroft and the only problem was I didn’t know who to look at,her or Marilyn. She just smiled.
i've been binge-watching this show over a period of weeks and thoroughly enjoy sampling the general kindness and esprit de corp of the panel members. what a very different time it was. it has to be said, though, that John Daly's hostility, at times, is unprofessional and dismaying. it's remarkable how the usual panel members can keep a smile going.
I can see why Mel Brooks chased Anne Bancroft. God rest her soul. A great actress and a wonderful human being. So humble and real. Not like today’s celebrities who get so full of themselves. Love she signed as ASL would be part of our school curriculum. It’s unbelievable we cannot communicate and still shun millions of deaf citizens and those who suffer from vocal loss.
I loved Anne Bancroft! She died too soon. She and Patty Duke originated their parts in The Miracle Worker on Broadway and starred in the great film version, both actreses won Oscars for their performance.
Another wonderful performanceshe gave was in The Pumpkin Eater a British art house film for which she received a nomination Julie Andrew's who won that year for Mary Poppins because she was not cast in My Fair Lady stated years later in one of her autobiographies that she felt that Anne really deserved it
It's funny that in the early 1960's so many people did not associate Crabs with eating or with Baltimore or even as being a well known shellfish. They seemed to hit every shellfish in the book before they got to it.
Today, whenever a sports event with a national audience such as the Preakness or an Orioles or Ravens game is broadcast, the commentators invariably make it a point to let the viewers know how much they enjoyed the crabcakes they had for dinner the night before.
I was eleven when I first saw the beautiful, classy Anne Bancroft on this show. I'll always remember her, in Point of No Return (1993,) delivering the line, "I never did mind about the little things."
I like that Bancroft, Daly and the panel talk a bit with her instead of the celebrity most of the time jumping up and leaving with out a 30 second interview.
During the late 1970's and early 1980's I worked in Feeding Hills, Mass. Every morning, on the way to work, I would drive past the Anne Sullivan Memorial Park and the birthplace of Anne Sullivan a short distance down the street.
Helen Keller was the greatest ambassador from the state of Alabama encouraging us all to never let our inabilities to hold us back. If she could overcome hers surely we can also.
@@JD_13 Because I fail to understand all of the unwarranted adulation and sycophancy that is attached to this ‘show’ and the phoniness of the panel made up of self-regarding ‘sophisticated people.’ The show is blatantly rigged for the most part and the contestants are subjected to insufferable patronising. What you describe as ‘hating’, I regard as criticism with a satirical edge. When the show aired is of little or no relevance.
@@LANCSKID when it aired IS relevant. It was so long ago, that your displeasure will have no effect whatsoever on this programme or the people involved, or their place in history. You just want to tell people you hate the show, even people who were here leaving a light hearted comment two years ago. That is really sad. The only thing that will come of this is people today see you have misplaced anger issues, and spend way to much energy commenting to people who only take these old videos on a whimsical light entertainment face value. Its not that serious!
@@JD_13 You seem intent on overlooking the fact that it is effectively being broadcast again and that as a result it generates a peculiar nostalgia wallow complete with irrelevant comments … “I was only two years old when this first aired,” “This episode date coincided with my parent’s wedding anniversary…” etc. Worse still, the vast majority of comments unleash a veritable tsunami of adulation for the (so-called) ‘mystery guest’. My issue is not so much one of hatred for the show (although I do think it is insufferably corny and weighed down with its artifice) but the fact that many people fail to see through its vacuity and phoniness but instead, actually enjoy it. I am not a lone voice with ‘misplaced anger issues’, but I am a serious student of post WW2 American and European ‘culture’, undertaking research possibly for a book in due course. What’s My Line? My line is straight - none of us are the jobs we do, and when such considerations become our measure, they are also that which contain us.
I have been hoping to own every Miss Bancroft movie. I do have my favorite. I think this is (to me) the best movie of hers... Great Expectations. Classic.

Anne Bancroft is one of the best characters to ever come out of Hollywood!
One of America's greatest actresses, charming, graceful, well spoken and just all around class. Mel was a lucky man.
Whenever Anne appeared onscreen one had the feeling that they were witnessing not only her physical beauty but also the beauty of her soul.
🙄
Anne is so extraordinary. Even her micro gestures and subtle expressions are captivating.
And she's especially pretty with that short hair style.
On second look, I see that it's not a short style. She has her hair put back and up.
My word, she has such an engaging on-screen presence in this show!
She was an extraordinary actress - gifted and insightful and brought to the screen and stage some of the most memorable and important female characters in our generation. She was also a lovely woman in real life

She was, and always will be, a beautiful woman and a class act...
An underrated actress. Theatre-trained like Geraldine Page, she packs a punch on the screen. Star quality truly.
She's one of the few actresses who had won an Emmy, an Oscar and a Tony. I would not call that "underrated".

Allen Ludden wore a wedding ring, but wasn't married. His first wife died in 1961. He married Betty White in June 1963.
Arlene is a living Doll.
Oh? Is her name Rhoda? (lol)
@@jmccracken1963 Arlene is a doll, as was Arlene Dahl...and Arlene Dahl is still with us at the age of 95!

Yes BOTH Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke deserved their Oscars for The Miracle Worker but I can't say if 5'7" Anne or 5' Patty gave the better performance but I feel this deserves to be a video collection MUST HAVE especially if you love Patty Duke like I do!

Elegant lady

Anne almost reminds me of Aneta Corsaut with her hairstyle, both lovely women. ;)
