Since Ms. Bancroft appeared in more than 65 movies, made nearly 20 personal appearances and was a guest on well over 30 TV instances it would be silly to list them all here: what else is the Internet Movie Database for if not that? So I've decided to include a filmography of selected movies/projects, based on either their impact on her career/audiences or our personal tastes, instead. Beginning with the movie that launched her career into the stratosphere and landed her an Academy Award in the process:
The Miracle Worker (1962) - Annie Sullivan (DVD)
The Pumpkin Eater (1964) - Jo Armitage (DVD)
7 Women (1966) - Dr. Cartwright (DVD)
