Alright, I'll do it.
Here's to you Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray.

RIP... that's sad. Besides being a damn good actress, she was the very definition of a milf.

Two Tony awards, 5 Oscar nominations (see Agnes of God if you haven't, she's great in it), and also she was Mrs. Mel Brooks for the past 49 years. She was so versitile. She was only 35 when she played Mrs. Robinson (Dustin Hoffman was 30).

Shit I just looked that up because I didn't believe you. Hoffman is getting close to 70. He did a great job of playing a youngen in the graduate. I hope he gets a couple more great roles before it is all over. Sad to see that people like Eastwood, Ford, Connery and Hoffman only have a few films left in them. Pacino and Deniro, get your shit on while you are still young.
interestingly enough, i just watched The Player the other night, there's a ridiculous sequence where someone pitches a film for a follow up to The Graduate because "all of the principals are still with us".
Granted, the film came out in like 1996 or something, but still, spoooky

Slightly off-topic, my other favorite example like that is the Manchurian Candidate where Angela Lansbury plays Lawrence Harvey's mother, but she was actually only four years older than him.

Poor Mel brooks.
That was, of course, one of my first thoughts as well. But then I thought of the fact that Mel is a well-loved man with many friends to support him through this very difficult time. Think about all of the spouses of famous people who are nobodies, and have to deal with th loss alone, or at best just like the rest of us.
They say that when an older man loses his wife of many years, that they often die in the first year after that themselves. If he can make it through the first year, then he is likely to live many more years. Mel Brooks will survive and continue to create, I'm sure of it.

Doesn't that usually happen to couples who depend upon each other more than a celebrity probably would? They probably had a support system or at least a maid/cook/assistant that will help with a lot of the hard things that probably bog down your general lonely old man.

que?
Agnes of God is a 1985 movie starring Meg Tilly, Jane Fonda, and Anne Bancroft about a young nun in Quebec who becomes pregnant and gives birth under mysterious circumstances. It's great.

I'll take that as a no then. Call me chivulrous, but it's a shame she the actress had a husband who was still alive to lose her.
