After Nichols and May Unless Your Ancestors Look Like This You'Re Probably An Immigrant T-Shirt . split up in the early Nichols of course went on to become, as a director, a colossus of the stage and screen. May went on to her own career—more wayward but equally legendary—as a film director (The Heartbreak Kid; Mikey and Nicky; Ishtar), screenwriter (Heaven Can Wait; The Birdcage), and script doctor (Tootsie, among many others). But I’m more interested in her here as a performer.

And in the pre-YouTube days, my first chance to see (as opposed to hear) her in action came via a VHS tape of her 1971 black comedy, A New Leaf, which she wrote, directed, and starred in Unless Your Ancestors Look Like This You'Re Probably An Immigrant T-Shirt . The film costarred Walter Matthau as Henry Graham, a dissolute playboy who, after losing all his money, decides to marry a rich woman—and then kill her. As his target, Henrietta Lowell, a ditzy, bespectacled, awkward, and accident-prone botanist, May gives a quintessentially Elaine May performance—painfully funny and sweetly sincere—playing a woman oblivious to the darker motives of the man she loves. In 1993, more than three decades after their professional breakup as a comedy duo, Nichols and May reunited for two performances on Broadway to benefit Friends in Deed, a nonprofit that Nichols had cofounded with his friend Cynthia O’Neal in response to the AIDS crisis. I was lucky enough to score a ticket to one of those evenings, and it remains one of the greatest nights that I’ve ever spent in a theater, seeing old recordings come to life and watching a pair of comic geniuses give and experience joy in the here and now, inhabiting their urban neurotic characters with meticulous detail, unmatched satirical flair, and unvarnished truthfulness.I’ve never gotten the chance to meet May, though I did get to spend some time with Nichols. Once, when I asked him about what it was like performing with her, he told me, “Elaine loved to improvise, and I just wanted to stick to my lines, so she forced me to always stay awake and alive—and terrified, in the best sense of the word. The other great joy, with the characters we created, was getting to make fun of something and be it at the same time. On the nights when we were really in sync, you didn’t want it to end, you just wanted to stay up there forever.”

Bought for Father’s Day for hubby. Ordered the 2XL. The tag on short said XXL which is not the same thing. It was tight. Nice fabric though. Short fits at the waist and raises above when raising arms.

I love shirt shirts and this is no exception. I wear it to cardio kickboxing and it’s usually soaked by the time I leave. It’s moisture wicking and cooling and lives up to every standard under armor sets for itself and the industry. I’m a die hard of the brand though, I broke a bone in my spine and spent 7 months in this brace that ran from my shoulders to my thighs. I wore under armor under it and it’s the only way I didn’t constantly over heat. Under armor is worth everything you’ll pay for it. The fit on this shirt is to size for any other major brand. I bought an xl because I prefer my shirts a bit loose, this one fit exactly as I was expecting it to.

Shirt is from the Dominican Republic. Words are printed on heavy cotton which is thick and not something I would wear in warm weather. Words or colour did not come off after one wash in the machine together with other clothes.
