About number 8.
Doris Day was originally asked to play the role of Mrs. Robinson.
She turned it down.

Yup ! She was offended by the nudity required, so turned it down...


Director Mike Nichols' first choice for Mrs. Robinson was French actress Jeanne Moreau. His thinking was that in the French culture, the "older" women tended to "train" the younger men in sexual matters.


DID YOU KNOW... Bancroft was only 35 when the film was shot, and Hoffman was 29.

You could make a Doris Day trivia game without the answers and I'd probably know every answer.
That's how big a fan I am.
