Introduction:
Elaine May was born on April 21, 1932, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA as Elaine Iva Berlin. She is an actress and writer, known for Small Time Crooks (2000), A New Leaf (1971), and Primary Colors (1998). She was previously married to David L. Rubinfine, Sheldon Harnick, and Marvin May.
Early Life:
Because the troupe toured extensively, May had been in over 50 different schools by the time she was ten, having spent as little as a few weeks enrolled at any one time. May said she hated school and would spend her free time at home reading fairy tales and mythology. Her father died when she was 11 years old, and then she and her mother moved to Los Angeles, where May later enrolled in Hollywood High School. She dropped out when she was fourteen years old. Two years later, at the age of sixteen, she married Marvin May, an engineer and toy inventor.
Marriage:
When she was sixteen, having quit school the previous year, she married Marvin May and had a daughter Jeannie Berlin which born in 1949, but the marriage ended in divorce after a year. Her second marriage was to lyricist Sheldon Harnick and the marriage ended in divorce after one year in 1963. Her third and last marriage Was to her psychoanalyst, Dr. David L. Rubinfine for 18 years until his death in 1982.
Works:
Elaine turned her attention to the film, with hilarious appearances in films like Rob Reiner’s “Enter Laughing” (1967). Not long after, May wrote, directed, and starred in the off-the-wall comedy “The New Leaf” (1971), co-starring Walter Matthau. As a director, she scored another triumph with the Neil Simon-scripted “The Heartbreak Kid” (1972), a quirky comedy that played like an inverse of pal Nichols’ earlier seminal work “The Graduate” (1967).
May also worked steadily as a respected scriptwriter – both credited and non – adding hits like Mike Nichols’ “The Birdcage” (1996) and “Primary Colors” (1998) to her already impressive résumé.
What Happened:
In 2016, she starred alongside her friend Woody Allen, in his series Crisis in Six Scenes on Amazon Prime, which would be her first role since Allen’s own Small Time Crooks. In 2018, May returned to Broadway after 60 years in a Lila Neugebauer-directed revival of Kenneth Lonergan’s play The Waverly Gallery opposite Lucas Hedges, Joan Allen, and Michael Cera. In 2019, it was announced that May is set to direct her first narrative feature in over 30 years. Little is known about the project other than its title, Crackpot, and that it’s starring Dakota Johnson, who announced the project at the 2019 Governors Awards.
