"Anne Bancroft was a great actress, and as a human being, wife, mother (and) friend, she was unique," declared Mike Nichols, director of "The Graduate".

"Her combination of brains, humor, frankness and sense were unlike any other artist. Her beauty was constantly shifting with her roles, and because she was a consummate actress, she changed radically for every part."
