Elaine Partnow

Elaine Partnow is especially noted for her living history portrayals of four dozen fabulous women, including such renowned and wide-ranging figures as Eleanor Roosevelt and Mae West, Emily Dickinson and Golda Meir. Currently, she is producing a web series, The Quotable Woman Speaks, based on those portrayals. Her broad range spans from top flight comedic chops to a deep dramatic sensitivity. Her knowledge of basic French and Spanish enables her to do authentic accents, as does having lived in the South for years; she also does New York, Irish, Cockney and British, as well as a broad “European” dialect. Elaine swims, snorkels and has a PADI license to scuba dive. She loves rock ‘n roll and is a good ballroom dancer. The proud guardian of two dogs, she has trained her rat terrier, Deva, to do all sorts of tricks, and has managed to teach her Jack Russell, Pip, to sit still for 30 seconds! She’s a whiz of a typist, can drive a stick shift and pick-ups, knows how to shoot, has done voiceover work, is a pretty quick study, and always willing to learn something new. She studied with the late, great Uta Hagen, among others, and has an excellent resume. Elaine also happens to be a writer who has had 17 books published
