I was thinking this morning while watching the news items about Ms. Bancroft that she was what I would call truly beautiful. Not only was she pleasing to look at during all stages of her life, but she didn't look as if her face had been remodeled to suit the fashions of the times. Her birth name was also beautiful: Anna Maria (Louisa) Italiano. I guess she thought "Anne Bancroft" sounded more like a serious actress. Or maybe her original name was too ethnic for some. A class act all the way.
