husband Paul Simon, Albert  Brooks asked good friend and daughter of the movies star Debbie  Reynolds, Carrie Fisher, if she would ask her ex to give Brooks the  right to use an adapted version of his famous song "Mrs. Robinson",  originally used in the film "The Graduate" along with his equally  famous partner Art Garfunkle. As "Simon & Garfunkle", both artists  refused to allow anyone use of their iconic song. In the early  eighties, the duo were offered a lot of money to rework the song for  a "Mr. Coffee" commercial. They refused that and all other offers.  However, because of his relationship with Fisher, Simon agreed and  the song was rewritten using the name "Mrs. Henderson" instead.
