She was offered the role of Mrs. Robinson in _The Graduate (1967)_ (qv) but she was nervous about doing such a demanding role so soon after her stroke.

Roald was credited with helping her rehabilitate after her strokes. He designed her recovery routines.
Received the Women's International Center (WIC) Living Legacy Award in 1986.
