Fierce and Fabulous: Anne Bancroft


Lincoln Center sings here's to you Anne Bancroft with this best-of look at her lauded career. Otherwise confused for Mrs. Robinson, she delivered a handful of performances worth a chorus, including her name-making turn as Annie Sullivan in Arthur Miller's 1962 Miracle Worker. She stands out anywhere, from ballerina circles (The Turning Point) to the testy Wild West (The Last Frontier) and 19th-century London (David Lynch's studio trip Elephant Man). Special appearances by Mike Nichols, Patty Duke, and Neil Simon punctuate this retrospective.
