I never quite appreciated her art, but then I am really stupid with films. She is one of the people I never realized were still alive. But there she was, alive and kicking, scoring a Top 10 album at 92.
At Wikipedia I read she was offered the role of Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate - She refused, probably because itwould have dented her sowmewhat bland and outdated spick-and-spam, always-smiling All-American wholesome housewife image. It's a risky business, being a Hollywood star.
