You could create a power search that simply looks for her name in the description field. You won't catch shows in which she plays a cameo or is dwarfed by mega-stars, but you should find all the ones in which she has a major role. To create the power search, go to "Custom Record" in the "Schedule Recording" menu of the gui (not available via mythweb) and create a rule of the form: (program.description LIKE "%anne bancroft%"). The DataDirect listings usually include the top three stars in the description field for each movie and the guest stars for episodic television. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
