Anne Bancroft was in her mid-thirties when she filmed The Graduate. Mrs. Robinson may have been a little older given that Elaine was also college-aged, so that puts her and Benjamin about twenty years apart. My grandfather, who insisted that he was a sexy senior citizen and not a dirty old man, used to say "Some like the mother; some like the daughter."

Or, I suppose the more relevant query is what was the age difference? Lea Thompson isn't old enough to get to that place for me. How about Mary McDonnell or Helen Mirren (older than me by 19 and 26 years, respectively), off the top of my head? How old was Mrs. Robinson?

Lea Thompson isn’t old enough to get to that place for me. How about Mary McDonnell or Helen Mirren (older than me by 19 and 26 years, respectively), off the top of my head?

I like her ‘do much better like this — scarily heavy on the Mrs. Robinson appeal.
