Elaine May celebrated her 90th birthday on April 21. The Birdcage, Primary Colors, Reds, Tootsie, and dozens more movies, TV shows, and plays couldn’t have happened without this comedienne, actress, playwright, screenwriter, and director. May’s most acclaimed film, 1972’s hilarious and cringe-inducing The Heartbreak Kid, will mark its 50th anniversary later this year. Happy birthday, Elaine!
