Did Elaine May...


have a stroke and so they're trying cover it by making her character constantly drunk? Not to be mean, I think she's great in this.

I wonder the same thing about Jeff Bridges and my friends get mad even for wondering.

I think tho she just talks that way unless her stroke was before 2000's Small Time Crooks.

In the first episode she is never seen without a glass of white wine in her hand--it's even at her nightstand. After Lennie's arrival and the ensuing antics through the next five episodes I don't believe Elaine May is ever seen with said glass of white wine.

Maybe she's an alkie. I can't watch her scenes. She's like 80 something and when you get old you start talking like you had a stroke even when you didnt. Groucho? Even Allen sounds horrible

The entire show is depressing.
