She became a superstar after ‘The Graduate’ – this is what the ’60s bombshell looks like today, age 83

This stunning lady went from an unknown actress to an Academy Award-nominated star overnight. Once dubbed one of the best-looking women in the world, this timeless beauty has now turned 83 and she looks better than ever…

Katharine Juliet Ross first came to prominence with her role in The Graduate in which she starred alongside Dustin Hoffman. The role earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and a Golden Globe nomination for New Star of the Year.

The film was a huge success, grossing $104.9 million in the United States and Canada and making it the highest-grossing film of 1967. The ending of The Graduate remains a mystery as it shows Benjamin, played by Hoffman, rescuing Elaine, played by Ross, from her wedding. The two are then seen sitting on a city bus with expressions on their faces that not many expected.

“You are always told you just keep going in a scene until the director says ‘cut.’ Well, Mike didn’t say it for the longest time. We ran out of dialogue, but the camera kept running. What do I think? I think Elaine got off at the next stop,” Ross said of the role which turned her into a star.
