Renee Taylor Biography

Renee Taylor launched her career as a revue comedian and writer in New York during the 1950s. She first gained national recognition as a semi-regular on The Jack Paar Show, frequently portraying Jewish characters. Taylor's breakthrough came when she was cast in Mel Brooks' film version of "The Producers." In 1977, she appeared on the syndicated "Fernwood Tonight" as a character who claimed to be the missing Mary Hartman. Since the roles she was offered did not showcase her abilities, Taylor and her husband, Joseph Bologna, began writing and starring in their own plays and independent feature films, which they tirelessly promoted. The duo co-wrote and performed onstage in "Lovers and Other Strangers," which they later adapted (but did not star in) for the screen. Taylor has often written characters with low self-esteem who desperately seek love but believe themselves unattractive. The pair revived "Made for Each Other" with frequent screenings at their own expense. Taylor also wrote and starred in the 1976 TV movie "Woman of the Year." In 1995, she co-wrote and co-directed "Love Is All There Is," which was shown out of competition at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.
