I finally have a truly new PostSecret to share! It’s been at least a month since one grabbed me enough to write about.
Here's to you, Mrs.Robinson
First off, The Graduate from which this publicity shot is taken, is a great movie. It thrust Dustin Hoffman into the spotlight and he truly began his ascent to stardom. Anne Bancroft who was superb in this role, will forever be remembered as a very sexy, seductive 40-something, despite the fact that she was only 36 at the time. Back in 1967, when this film was made, a woman over the age of 35 just wasn’t looked at in that way. It was part of an era when woman of this age cohort had one role to play: mom or even grandma! But a desirable woman–and a seductress to boot?! It was unique, to say the least.
I think the sentiment on the card is rather cute. Age barriers have broken down so much, I have to wonder if when the writer of the postcard “grows up” it will be the least bit scandalous for a 20-years-older woman to have an affair with a young guy.
