Terrible news...she was too young to go at only 73.

Of course, I loved her in The Graduate, who didn't? She will be missed.

Bobby, what was her line about love right before she downed a glass of champagne? "Ain't love grand." Was that it?

So sad...Just think 3 years ago Mel was on top of the world with his Producers success and Tony wins... life is a mystery.. it's unimaginable to think of Mel without Anne.. too young, indeed.

Nmartin, I found the full quote on IMDB.

Ms. Nora Digger Dinsmoor: She'll only break your heart, it's a fact. And even though I warn you, even though I guarantee you that the girl will only hurt you terribly, you'll still pursue her. Ain't love grand?
