MISS MAY DOES NOT EXIST The Life and Work of Elaine May, Hollywood's Hidden Genius

by | Read by Erin Bennett

Biography & Memoir • 14 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2024

Erin Bennett speaks earnestly about the life of comedian Elaine May, warning listeners that separating fact from fiction is difficult. But Bennett's ease with the microphone makes it a joy. Blessed with brains and beauty, May was easily bored. She told outrageous lies about almost every aspect of her life. Bennett delicately tells the story of her groundbreaking comedy with partner Mike Nichols. She went through life jumping from one project to another in a career that spanned from the 1950s to 2018, when she earned a Tony for the Broadway play THE WAVERLY GALLERY. She also directed the movies A NEW LEAF and the studio-sabotaged ISHTAR and shunned the limelight when she ghostwrote numerous other films, including TOOTSIE and HEAVEN CAN WAIT.
