Happy Birthday to
Jeannie Berlin
61 today
It's not the most exhaustive back catalogue, after a very busy start to her career in 1970-2 - culminating in an Oscar nomination as the Charles Grodin's ghastly wife in The Heartbreak Kid (curiously directed by her mother so you have to wonder what their relationship is like) - Berlin has only occasionally returned to acting. Her latest role, should we ever get to see it, is in Kenneth Lonergan's long delayed Margaret.

I always loved her at the stage door of FUNNY GIRL. I have always been amaazed that she has never had to depend on her mother, Elaine May, to get a job!
My fondest recolection was sharing the stage with her at the Martinique theater in NYC, where we both appeared in the play: RUMPLESTILSKIN, which was written by a reletive of hers whose name I can't recall.
Love & Recolections,
Elliot Englebaum
Thank you so much for the personal anecdote Elliot - always great to hear from someone who knows our birthday girls.
