High-res oldhollywood: Anne Bancroft in The Graduate (1967, dir. Mike Nichols) (via nytimes.com/corbis) On playing Mrs. Robinson: “Film critics said I gave a voice to the fear we all have: that we will reach a point in our lives, look around, and realize that all the things we said we’d do and become will never come to be. And that we’re ordinary.” Fun fact that always blows me away: Bancroft was 36 when she played the older woman in The Graduate. Dustin Hoffman was 30.

    I hated this women while watching this movie. What a classic, with fantastic soundtrack. But it’s depressing.
