Things Mrs. Robinson Doesn’t Want You to Know About ‘The Graduate’

3. Not Mrs. Robinson’s Leg

The image is famous. Dustin Hoffman framed by Anne Bancroft’s seductively shapely leg. It’s an iconic picture that defined a new generation but it’s all one big lie. The leg you see in the promotional photo belongs to Linda Gray, a then-unknown model, not Bancroft. In 2001, Gray starred in a theater production of The Graduate as Mrs. Robinson in London’s West End and the following year on New York City’s Broadway. Gray was only paid $25 for her leg to appear in the movie’s poster.
