!!Tropes associated with her work:
* ActorAllusion: In ''Film/AgnesOfGod'', a birth certificate reveals her character's name as Anna Maria, which was her birth name.
* AdamWesting: In ''Film/{{Heartbreakers}}'' she plays [[spoiler: the mentor to a conwoman who makes her money seducing less attractive men]].
* AsHerself:
** In a CBS special ''Annie, the Woman in the Life of a Man'' - which won her an Emmy.
** In ''Film/SilentMovie'' as well.
** And in an episode of ''Series/CurbYourEnthusiasm''.
* CastingGag: In a modern version of ''Literature/GreatExpectations'' of course she plays the Mrs Havisham equivalent (named Mrs Dinsmoor).
* TheDanza: She plays Annie in ''The Miracle Worker'' and Anna in ''To Be or Not To Be''.
* DirectedByCastMember:[[invoked]] She directed and starred in ''Fatso'', which she co-wrote the script of.
* EvilIsHammy: She embraces this in [[spoiler: ''Film/GIJane'']].
* IAmNotSpock:[[invoked]] You'd think she only starred in ''Film/TheGraduate'' and nothing else, from how everyone refers to her as MrsRobinson. She herself said the film came to overshadow all her other work.
* MethodActing:[[invoked]] To prepare for ''Film/AgnesOfGod'', she spoke to a reverend mother of a convent and attended vespers in that same convent.
* PlayingGertrude:
** Famously in ''Film/TheGraduate'', she was only eight years older than her on-screen daughter Katharine Ross and wore make-up to appear older. The director even turned down Ava Gardner for being too old at 45.
** Also in ''Young Winston'', she was only ten years older than on-screen son Simon Ward.
* StageNames: Her last name Marno was considered "too ethnic", so she chose Bancroft.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:[[invoked]]
** She was the original choice for ''Film/MommieDearest'', but backed out of the project when she was dissatisfied with the screenplay. The film's initial vision was of Joan Crawford as a glamorous Hollywood martyr, but Christina Crawford wanted it to focus more on her abusive behavior.
** She had to pass on the role of Chris in ''Film/TheExorcist'' because she was pregnant at the time. Ellen Burstyn played the role in the end.
** She was in the running for Aurora in ''Film/TermsOfEndearment''. Creator/ShirleyMacLaine got it and won an Oscar for her performance.
