Happy Birthday Katharine





i loved katharine ross since 'the graduate'. she feel out of film when she reached a 'certain age'. the parts were just not there. but three wonderful performances in three wonderful films give her a place forever among the best.

she stole hearts worldwide as elaine in 'the graduate' a great film and a defining film for all time.




elaine and ben together again






as joanna in 'the stepford wives' katharine went from normal to stepford without missing a beat.



as etta place she held her own with two giants of the screen newman and redford in butch cassidy and the sundance kid' and oh that smile!




'the bicycle scene', raindrops and oh that smile again




katharine appeared in an all-star film 'voyage of the damned' as mira hauser about german jews seeking refuge and denied entry everywhere. her character, etta hauser, was a jewess posing as a gentile. she was prostituting herself to make money to help her parents seeking refuge. it was a bit overbloasted but for history buffs it was a  bit of an enlightment.
