Dwie lewe nogi

It would have been the 82nd birthday today of another of our most cherished (and most deeply missed) icons here at Dolores Delargo Towers, Miss Ann Bancroft...

In a brief tribute to her extraordinary talents, here she is with her beloved hubby Mel Brooks and their classic number (in Polish) Sweet Georgia Brown:

Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft - Sweet Georgia Brown

No wykonane gal ma cienia na Sweet Georgia Brown
Dwie lewe nogi, ale oh, tak zgrabny ma Sweet Georgia Brown
Wszyscy wzdychają i chcę umrzeć słodka panna Georgia Brown
I powiem ci, dlaczego, wiesz, że nie kłamię, nie wiele Sweet Georgia Brown

Truly fabulous!

Anne Bancroft (17th September 1931 – 6th June 2005)

[NB "Dwie lewe nogi" means "two left feet" in Polish]

Today would have been the 77th birthday of the gorgeous Anne Bancroft, superstar of films such as The Graduate, The Miracle Worker and (my favourite) 84 Charing Cross Road.

She was a marvellous comic as well as serious actress, often appearing in films produced by her husband Mel Brooks, and gave a blinding performance as Harvey Fierstein's mother in Torch Song Trilogy.

I loved her, but never realised she could also sing...
