RENEE TAYLOR

'Renee Taylor' (born ' Renée Wexler ' on March 19, 1939 in New York City) is best known for playing Fran Drescher's voracious and outspoken mother, Sylvia Fine, on the TV series ''The Nanny''.
During 1992-1994, she played the stereotypically-overbearing "Jewish mother" of the lead character on the HBO series ''Dream On''. Beginning in the fall of 1993, she began playing the stereotypically-overbearing "Jewish mother" of the lead character on ''The Nanny''. Thus she was playing both roles for a season, and the two characterizations were virtually identical.
She has been married to Italian-American actor Joseph Bologna since 1965, and is the mother of actor, Gabriel Bologna.
Taylor and Bologna co-wrote the Broadway hit comedy Lovers and Other Strangers, and received Oscar nominations for writing the 1970 film adaptation. In 1971 the couple co-wrote and starred in the film ''Made for Each Other''. Their screenplay received a Best Comedy nomination from the Writers Guild of America.
Ms. Taylor played Eva Braun in the 1968 version of The Producers.
