Koo Koo Ka Choo Mrs. Robinson

Anne Bancroft is dead. I heard about it from my wife and read about it here. She is survived by her husband Mel Brooks and their son. She was born 17 September, 1931, which is just a few days after my father. She married Mel in 1964.

I pulled up her biography here and here.


I’m not sure what else to say. I’ve only seen The Graduate once, and I feel for Mr. Brooks. I’ve lost two wives so far, and the fact that they are still alive only mitigates the feeling of loss. When you mourn someone, it’s the things you didn’t do, the things you never got around to, the things that you had planned to .

it just goes to prove that there is nothing in this world that can’t be taken away from you in an instant.
