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.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 6/7/05 at 6:08pmSo 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?
