Homage to "The Graduate"

Linda Plaisted

Two points- this movie was filmed the year I was born and also Anne Bancroft who played Mrs. Robinson was younger than I am when she played the classic "older woman" who seduces a boy the same age as her daughter.

It is interesting to note how young I feel now at "middle age" and how, even in our youth-obsessed society, older women are staying "young" for many years longer than those of Mrs. Robinson's day. Can't say as I fully comprehend what she saw in a 19-year old Dustin Hoffman, but nevertheless, Coo coo ca choo, Mrs. Robinson. Here's to you.
