Farewell, Mrs Robinson
And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson, We’d like to know a little bit about your for our files And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson, Hide in the hiding place where no one ever goes. Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson, Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon. Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio, (Paul Simon) |
Banroft complained to a 2003 interviewer, “I am quite surprised that with all my work, and some of it is very, very good, that nobody talks about The Miracle Worker. We’re talking about Mrs. Robinson. I understand the world … I’m just a little dismayed that people aren’t beyond it yet.”
Note: She’d won the 1962 best actress Oscar as Annie Sullivan, the teacher of a young Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker, a role she’d earlier created for Broadway, for which she was awarded the Tony, but went on achieve greater fame as the seducer of her daughter’s boyfriend in the 1967 movie The Graduate.
