Today's trivia answer is the lovely Loretta Young.

classicsfan I'm also fond of Anne Bancroft. She is indeed a fine actress and most versatile.
She has been featured in some very good films "84 Charing Cross Road", "The Turning Point", "The Pumpkin Eater", "The Graduate" "Fatso" (also directed it), "Agnes of God" and os course her Oscar win in "The Miracle Worker" among others.
She has been appearing in supporting roles lately as in the remake of "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone" in which she is grand.
