# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Anna Maria Louisa Italiano in 1931, Bancroft ground through 15 films in the 1950s before the stage cracked her open. She studied method under Lee Strasberg, hit Broadway in 1958 with Two for the Seesaw, then won her first Tony playing Anne Sullivan in The Miracle Worker. When the film version came in 1962, she took the Academy Award. Three more Oscar nominations followed — The Pumpkin Eater, The Graduate, The Turning Point, Agnes of God — alongside work that stretched from Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth to The Elephant Man to late turns in G.I. Jane and Great Expectations. She married Mel Brooks, raised their son Max, and became one of 24 actors to win the Triple Crown. Uterine cancer killed her in 2005 at 73.
