My Life on a Diet

Starring Hollywood legend Renee Taylor, My Life on a Diet takes the audience on a trip through her 60+ year career including movies, Broadway, and her iconic role as Sylvia, Fran Drescher’s over bearing, food loving mother on the hit TV series, The Nanny.

Renee’s one woman show is told through the insane, hilarious and true diets she was on and the dieting advice she got from assorted movie stars, like Cary Grant, Joan Crawford, Marlon Brando, Morgan Fairchild and Marilyn Monroe, whose advice she sought about what to eat to make her as slim and/or as famous as they were – often with hysterical consequences. This show examines how Renee’s ability to laugh at situations, at others, and at herself, got her through the rough times of her life. In a recent interview Ms. Taylor stated, “Marilyn Monroe ate grapes, Grace Kelly ate yogurt. Most people remember what famous people wore when they met; I remember what they ate.”
