Elaine May does not do interviews. Not when she is the subject. But she agreed to interview her longtime friend Julian Schlossberg, the theatrical producer and author of the new memoir My First Book—Part 2, in front of a small group of journalists.
So here we are at Sardi’s, around two p.m. on a recent weekday. Seated with me around a corner table after the interview has concluded are May; May’s daughter, the actress Jeannie Berlin (The Heartbreak Kid); and actress-director Renée Taylor (you know her from The Nanny and her hit one-woman show, My Life on a Diet).
