This review is from: Seesaw, a dual biography of Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks (Hardcover)

Anne Bancroft has been my favorite actress since I was 12 years old. She was always very private, so finding information about her was difficult. I happened across this book in a bargain bin in a department store, and was in heaven. It had what turns out to be fairly accurate information, and is a beautiful love story between two unlikely people. I was so excited at the time, and to this day, treasure the copy I have. The author admits that Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft did not authorize the biography, but true to his word, I have never found out anything he wrote of was inaccurate. There are a few photos, and the author goes back and forth with each chapter between Mel and Anne until the time that they finally come together. If you like Anne Bancroft or Mel Brooks, this would be a wonderful book to read.
