I was just looking up whose birthday it is tomorrow (for my daily birthday
tribute on Facebook) and I saw that it was Katherine Ross' birthday.
Now Ross was my "dreamgirl" from the first moment I saw her in The Graduate
when I was 15, and I would have to think there were quite a few others who
felt the same way.
I guess it is just because she was so youthful looking in The Graduate (and
she played a college student) but I imagined she was just a few years older
than me.
Imagine my shock when I saw that tomorrow she turns 70!
She was 27 when she made The Graduate (Dustin Hoffman was 30, and Anne
Bancroft, who played her mother, was 36). Mrs Robinson was only 8 years
older than her "daughter" and she was only 6 years older than her
"neighbor's son" (hardly a May/December relationship!).
But Katherine Ross is 70. That makes me feel *REALLY *old!
