Happy Massee, who has worked with Madonna and Michael Jordan, chronicles his life behind the scenes.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of \"The Birdcage,\" which is actually a retelling of the 1978 French-Italian film \"La Cage Aux Folles,\" based on a 1973 play of the same name by Jean Poiret. \"La Cage Aux Folles\" itself was incredibly successful in its first three forms, running for more than 1,800 performances as a play, then as a Golden Globe-winning film that spawned two sequels, and then as a Broadway musical adaptation, which won several Tony awards. The New York Jewish Film Festival actually included the film in its 2015 lineup to honor the passing of both [Robin Williams] and [Mike Nichols] the previous year, as well as the film's Jewish twist. In the original version of \"La Cage Aux Folles,\" after all, the characters aren't trying to disguise themselves as gentiles. But in \"The Birdcage,\" their Jewishness is a running theme: from the story's setting in Florida's South Beach, long identified as a haven for Jewish vacationers or expats from colder climes; to [Armand Goldman] sporting a Star of David; to the use of Yiddish in the dialogue that cements the characters' identity, and much more. \"In addition to looking at stereotypes of gay people, the film looks at stereotypes and issues about Jewish people,\" she said. \"I think the beauty of the film overall probably is that the most bigoted and small-minded character, played by [Gene Hackman], needs the assistance of the people he so looks down on, and they show him that they have bigger hearts than he does.\" It's no secret that the film opens and closes with the legendary song \"We Are Family\" by Sister Sledge, possibly for this very reason. In \"The Birdcage,\" Jews are not just a faceless stereotype; we're ingenious, creative, wacky, vibrant, warm and caring people who want to help the ones we love. And since \"The Birdcage\" is an iconic comedy, this image of Jewish people gets to last as long as others.
