Posted: 6/7/05 at 6:24pmHow sad. One of my favorite roles of hers was as the mother in Home for the Holidays which is such a great character driven film.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 6:38pmThis is horrible on so many levels. 73 is so young.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 6:45pmThis comes as a shock to me ! A wonderful actress and a true Lady. The world is an uglier place without her regal presence. She will be terribly missed. May she rest in peace

All of his money means nothing . He would give it all away if he could bring her back. After a grieving period, I think Mel will throw himself into working on Young Frankenstein to keep himself busy

There was a great quote on ABC News tonight about Ms.Bancroft(not sure whom they attributed it too though);
"She was the thinking man's fantasy"....

Posted: 6/7/05 at 7:06pmOh my god... I've literally been sitting here with my mouth open, since I saw the headline. I just can't believe it; she was so young. My heart goes out to her family. She was a class act and a true talent. May she rest in peace.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 7:40pmShe was so incredibly talented and so incredibly beautiful! My own favorite was a tiny little gem she made with Anthony Hopkins called "84 Charing Cross Road". I know Mel absolutely adored her and my heart is breaking for him.

Well Chita, I think most of us would put 73 at a fairly young age to die, including the name sake of your screen name who is only two years younger.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 7:42pmVery few deaths have hit as hard as this one. I just watched (again) in the past 3 months both GARBO TALKS and TURNING POINT, and she is exquisite in both. But I don't think she was ever less than perfection.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 8:02pmVery good point Michael Bennett. In this day and age 73 is too soon to depart this earth. My parents lived to age 83 and 86 and I still felt it was too soon. I am very saddened by this news, as it comes as a complete surprise to me.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 8:09pmWhat terrible news! My sympathy and prayers go out to Mel Brooks!

What a horrible thing, she will be greatly missed, but her wonderful performances in movies like the Miracle Worker will live on forever.
