Anne Bancroft

Anne is too powerful. If there is anything greater in this play than the original novel, it is that Anne's performance is so good that it even surpasses Helen in the original.

There are a lot of people who give me the feeling that they are the kinds of Anne, such as Diane Keaton, such as Susan Sarandon, such as Meryl Streep, they all debuted later than Anne. Anne is a New York style, with brown hair, a bit like a Jew, and looks very thoughtful, a typical New York intellectual—a young and middle-aged intellectual in New York.

If she was born 10 years late, I think Woody Allen should have cast her as Annie Hall or the Hannah Sisters. It's a pity she died in 2005, and we can't even see a typical old lady in New York. Now I have to watch Meryl, a New Jersey native, play the old lady of New York, or Diane Keaton, the Los Angeles native, to play the old lady of New York.

    "The Fourth Wall" breaks down naturally and decently, full of delightful intimate little actions, and the adaptation of the original is precise and vivid, sincere and moving.

    Concentrated rendering, but the story almost went on for 20 years, with an intermittent taste.

  • Maxine Stuart: The shelves go on forever. They go up to the ceiling and they're very old and kind of gray - like old oak that absorbed so much dust over the years they no longer are their true color. There's a print selection - or rather a long print table with Cruikshank, Rackham, and Spy and all those old wonderful English caricaturists and illustrators that I'm not smart enough to know a lot about. And there are some lovely old. old illustrated magazines.

  • Frank P. Doel: [reading aloud from a letter from Miss Hanff] "Tell the girls and Nora, if all goes well, they're getting nylons for Lent."
