Do they look alike -- Maria Callas and Anne Bancroft?

At times I mistake them if I just see old photos.

Bancroft:

Like I said they could be relatives, but I wouldn't mistake them for each other.

Yes, I see a resemblance. And to a lesser degree, Sophia Loren (https://www.google.com/search?q=sophia+loren&client=firefox-a&hs=cMG&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=63CbU7GTLIjroATUgYGYAQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=646) is within that range as well, structurally.

Anne Bancroft's parents were from Naples, so the connection to Greece makes sense.

Kind of but not fully.

In The Graduate, she really did look like Callas.. in her famous Mrs. Robinson role.

Callas always had a striking Med look which is absent from Anne.

You might be able to make them look alike with similar makeup I suspect.

TO this I will agree.

" A 1987 Maria Callas collection called “The Unknown Recordings” is one
of the few opera records in my collection. I like it fine. She sings
Wagner, Verdi and Rossini. But I only ever listen to the album if I’m
chopping up pesto or something. Because I didn’t buy it for the music — I
bought “The Unknown Recordings” because of the black-and-white
photograph of Callas on its cover. She wears a black dress before a white
background. She stands like a column. Her chin is raised slightly, her
eyebrows dramatically penciled black. And I don’t know if it’s the way her
hair is coiffed into a perfect black flip or if it’s the defiance in her
eyes, but Callas resembles no one so much as Anne Bancroft in “The
Graduate.” Maria Callas is Mrs. Robinson dressed up for a night out,
which is to say that she is a little menacing and a lot glamorous. She’s a
star and she knows it."
