After 80 years in the industry, inspiring fans with her work across film and television, Renée Taylor celebrated her 93rd birthday on Thursday.
The actress was born and raised in New York City. Taylor started her career as a comedian in the early 1960s, performing in various nightclubs in Manhattan, where a then-unknown Barbra Streisand sometimes opened for her. In 1967, Taylor played an actress portraying Eva Braun in Mel Brooks' feature film The Producers, a role she got while in the play Luv with Gene Wilder.
Throughout the 1970s, Taylor and her husband, Joseph Bologna, co-wrote many films together, including Lovers and Other Strangers, which was nominated for an Oscar. The two also wrote and starred in the rom-com Made for Each Other.

After appearing in numerous films and TV shows throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Taylor had her breakthrough in the CBSsitcom The Nanny, playing the title character's mother, Sylvia Fine.

Sylvia's goal was to help her daughter find a husband. Although the show aired more than 30 years ago, she is best known for her role in The Nanny.
