I dug out my Criterion CAV laserdisc of this because our book/film group will be discussing it at our next meeting. This time around I noticed director Nichols learned use of the widescreen camera where emotional space netween characters is emphasized by having them on opposite sides of the 2.4/1 Panavison screen. I also learned that Shelley Winters was the original pick for Mrs. Robinson but thankfully Anne Bancroft got it as she is perfectly cast. The film has aged well and is still effective. The suburban phoniness is a bit over the top but not annoying.

She got a reputation for being difficult to work with. I don't know if it was justified, but it seems to have effected her carreer.

That's too bad - I really enjoyed her performance in "The Stepford Wives" and have often wondered what happened to her. I wonder how "difficult" in defined in the context of Hollywood? - Jim
.
According to the Inernet Movie Data Base she has recently worked on the other side of the camera in makeup (if it's the same one).
I loved Katherine Ross when saw her films in junior high and high school (early to mid 70s), and I have seen some of her later work as well...I was one of only three people in a theatre watching "Wrong is Right"! Reading rico's comment that she was now doing movie makeup, I had to check IMDB's site for her. Happily, it says she is working as an actress on three films in production now.
I'd like to think it's NOT her - I suppose because of her one time star status.
Thanks for the info.

And drops kept falling on her head.
