Renée Taylor looks back on a life full of memorable roles in Hollywood and on Broadway, and just as many fad diets. A self-described “diet junkie,” Taylor, in , dishes out juicy anecdotes about -- and weight loss tips from -- Hollywood legends such as Joan Crawford, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando and Cary Grant (she used to think that if she ate like a star, she’d just might live like one). By sharing her highs and lows – on and off the scale – as only she could, Renée Taylor proves how the ability to laugh will get you through it all.

Academy Award nominated and Emmy Award winning writer and actress Renée Taylor – known to millions for her role of Sylvia Fine on The Nanny – will return to the New York stage this summer in My Life on a Diet, an uproarious one-woman show based on her 1986 autobiography, adapted for the stage by Ms. Taylor and her late husband Joseph Bologna

Renée
explains, “A few years ago, I had the pleasure to work with my friend Nora Ephron on her wonderful play, Love, Loss, and What I Wore. I told her that, as a woman who had worn every size from 4 to 18 over the years, my version of the play would be called, ‘Love, Loss, and What I Ate.’  Well, this is that play, but I ended up calling it MY LIFE ON A DIET.”
