[SithSereyPheap1]

My poor fiance.While i'm away she shut herself in,never to see the light of day.Keep the window open,dady's comin home baby..;))))))))

[budboxzur]

@ MacNair : Touche! She was her own of her own generation. 

[westendellie]

Absolutely adore Anne Bancroft. Shes unbelievably sexy!

[annavedo]

Helen Forrest made this song popular.

[thedivinemisterm]

This clip was from "Kraft Music Hall" in April of 1969. The song is "I Don't Want To Walk Without You, Baby," by Frank Loesser and Jule Styne. It was a big hit for Rosemary Clooney early in her career, and a few years ago it was recorded by Manilow.

Anne Bancroft was the Angelina Jolie of her generation.

[MacNair]

@budboxzur Anne Bancroft was the Anne Bancroft of her generation.

[budboxzur]

Anne Bancroft was the Angelina Jolie of her generation with a lot fewer children.

[showersinger547]

There's a movie with Marilyn Monroe (she plays a deranged babysitter) but it has Anne Bancroft in it (a REALLY young Anne Bancroft) and Bancroft plays a lounge singer. If you can find a clip of that anywhere please tell me but just know that her voice is impossibly lovely in that film.

[thedivinemisterm]

That was Bancroft's first film, "Don't Bother To Knock," in 1952

[carrotjuse]

Wow. Just wow. Where did you find this? I didnt know she could sing too! She was always incredibly beautiful and sensual but this is almost pornographic. Her intelligent beauty, the pose and her throaty voice made my eyes pop. Lesser mortals use nudity to do what she does fully clothed. LOL. I want to watch this again. And again. And again. Thank you.

[mmmbad]

I always thought she was SO sexy!

[mauricecano]

What song is this?



[bersa888]

That's a big pillow.... :-) Never saw this before... great!

[nowinriccarton]

kd Lang should be singing this!

[dezinator]

Lovely voice!

[PJCoan]

This is a cool treasure! Where did you find this? Do Anne Bancroft record albums exist out there? Thank you creepgreen!

[Etheline]

What a beautiful lady with a nice,velvet voice...

[Blastaar7]

not surprising. Back in the day you had to be able to SING AND DANCE just to get into hollywood. The Mrs. Robinson seduction scene is one of my all time favorites. It's right up there with the revival scene from The Abyss.

[Messylin]

In the pantheon of Hollywood goddesses, if Marilyn Monroe was Aphrodite, Anne Bancroft was Athena!

[KaninFamily]

This is from "Annie, the Women in the Life of a Man" (1970 TV special). She won an Emmy for it, too!

[Vamp1963]

Is this from a movie? Which one?

Thanks

[P0beda]

Wow!... Annie is a goddess!

I <3 her so much! What a voice!

And of course her darling Mel - they are really special people.

[Slowlondon]

Absolut wonderful...

I love her dark voice

[grenadian11]

To me; a great actress and a flawless beauty and now I just found out she had a great voice! miss her very much, such a class act.

[bamagreycoat]

She's in the top 5 of sexiest women of all time!

Mel Brooks you lucky Bastard!,

[iluvnola123]

@bamagreycoat Lol I totally agree! Who would be your other 4? ;)

[bamagreycoat]

@iluvnola123 ....Lake Bell, ....Cindy Crawford.......Mary Steenburgen.......Brooke Shields.....in no specific order.

[homerbunny]

Anne Bancroft was a first choice to play Fanny Brice in the original Broadway production of FUNNY GIRL (as were Edie Gorme and Carol Burnett). Bancroft felt the songs were beyond her vocal capabilities. Eventually the role went to someone whose name escapes me at the moment ...

[martianboy]

Wow she was just fantastic.

Is there anyway to get the audio of this onto my ipod?

[trotskill]

damn, that pillow is HUGE!!

[acaba0]

I had absolutely no idea she could sing also. But, I happen to know that Mel Brooks adored her.

On one interview he gave after she passed away he described her as a wonderful woman.

True, she was - in every respect.

[solarisqs]

I want t big cushion too. Seriously this is a great performance from Anne. Interesting this concept of singing lying down, some folks swear by it

[sappholisa]

WOW! This is amazing... I hadn't seen any of her movies until a few months ago (The Graduate!) and now I absolutely adore her. And now I can even hear her sing!!! :))

[jess4metoo]

Wow! Just WOW! Thank you creepgreen for sharing this with us.

[musicqueenyana]

Wow--I can tell that she is a smoker just from hearing her voice. It's true, she would look that much more beautiful and sexy if she didn't smoker. She was only 36 in the graduate...what a shame :(

[stratfordgal]

Oh shut up. She couldn't be sexier if she tried and she has always been smokin' hot

[musicqueenyana]

I'm sorry--I didn't realize that Ben Braddock himself would be reading my comments. But I do agree with you--she is very sexy, but the smoking shows...

[christentze]

ditto your entire comment. anne is one of the sexiest women to have ever lived. i would have melted had i ever been able to look into her eyes. she's my favorite actress. i was devastated the day she passed away. it's still on my calendar. she's one of the most beautiful, funny, quirky women ever. i miss her.

[pbamse]

what a stupid idiot you are ...

[globalman]

This is fantastic, I never saw this and I have loved Anne Bancroft since the 50's when I saw her on Person to Person. She was such a gutsy dame as we said in NY. A brilliant talent and here looks beautiful and as said that deep, torch song voice. How Splendid. Thank you forever.

[ernestinaolivera]

I love this Beautiful, Sexy Lady.

Thaks a lot.

[vintagefish921]

Is there anything the woman couldn't do?!

[christentze]

i don't think so! :) she's a goddess, like meryl streep is. anne's perfect.

[vintagefish921]

I miss her :(

[christentze]

me, too. :(

at least her films remain. it must have been devastating losing her, for everyone but especially for her mother, Mel, her son, her sisters, and her entire family and close circle of friends. what a lady.

[DA90027]

Great song and great voice but bizarre set and she did look gorgeous here but I wish she didn't smoke it did make her look a bit older than she was.

[JackNastiest]

This is from a 1970 TV Special called "Annie: The Women in the Life of a Man." Bancroft won the Emmy that year. I saw it 37 years ago and have never forgotten it.

I can't believe I could find it again. Thank you, Youtube.

[Ladylovaitar]

God, she is pretty there! And she has a nice voice.

[Etheline]

I love her voice..and deep voices in general!

[RhodeIslander88]

She's incredible... truly.

[edgefire125]

This is such a joy! Thank you so much.

[christentze]

I forgot to say thank you, creepgreen! :) I appreciate you posting this. Anne's my favorite actress ever. What is this from?

[christentze]

God, Anne is so beautiful.

[lolasage]

Actually funny girl starring barbra streisand was written with Anne Bancroft in mind for the lead.

[RhodeIslander88]

I wish Anne had taken it instead.
