[edit] Comprehensive Update

Friday, April 28th, 2006

As part of a class assignment, I did a tremendous amount of research to expand the knowledge on the underrated filmmaker and comedic writer Elaine May. I consulted academic published works such as "The St. James Women Filmmakers Encyclopedia" by Amy L. Unterburger and essays derived from my "Women in Film" college class to expand the previous information already in the article. As always, if you notice any grammar mistakes or accuracy in facts, please edit them.

Added section about May's stage partnership with Mike Nichols, an excerpt taken from the Foreward, written by Mike Nichols for The Birdcage shooting script (1997)

Thank you for your additions! --Arcadian 21:30, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Nichols & May really deserve a page of their own. I recall reading a wonderful article some years ago, but my googling efforts to track it down were unsuccessful. -- Joey Harrison —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.8.46.4 (talk) 03:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
