My Take
Renée Taylor is a talent I find endlessly impressive. Most people know her as Sylvia Fine on The Nanny, but she was also an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter for Lovers and Other Strangers, plus a playwright, producer and director. Performers who can also write at that level are genuinely rare, and she did both for decades. There's a distinctly Bronx blend of sharp humor and tenacity in everything she touched. Watching someone stay creative and luminous well into her nineties is inspiring, and I have deep respect for a woman who built so much across so many roles.
