After a variety of jobs, including night cosmetician, she started in the restaurant business in 1959, joining Alfredo Viazzi—then her boyfriend—in running his recently opened Greenwich Village restaurant Portofino.[1][2] Portofino was frequented by people in the downtown publishing business and Off-Broadway theater.{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} Four years later, after she and Viazzi split up, Elaine bought a restaurant in Manhattan's Upper East Side, and Elaine's was born. Despite the location—not popular at the time—many customers from Portofino followed her to the new spot. Her original intent was that the restaurant would be a writer's dive, incubating authors.[3] Over the years, Kaufman bought the entire building that housed the restaurant, as well as the building next door. The rental income subsidized the restaurant in lean years.{{citation needed|date=May 2010}} Kaufman was designated a living landmark by the New York Landmarks Conservancy in 2003.{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} In addition to her career as a restaurateur, Kaufman had a small uncredited acting role in the 1970 film The Boys in the Band (1970), as a pedestrian glancing disapprovingly at flamboyant Emory (Cliff Gorman) on a Manhattan street corner. She also had a brief appearance in the film Morning Glory (2010) as herself at her restaurant. DeathKaufman died from emphysema and pulmonary hypertension on December 3, 2010, at Lenox Hill Hospital, aged 81.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Elaine Kaufman, Who Fed the Famous, Dies at 81|first=Enid|last=Nemy|authorlink=Enid Nemy|date=December 3, 2010|accessdate=December 3, 2010|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/04/nyregion/04kaufman.html}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Alfredo Viazzi, Restaurant Owner and Pasta Expert, Is Dead at 66|first=Glenn|last=Fowler|date=December 29, 1987|newspaper=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/29/obituaries/alfredo-viazzi-restaurant-owner-and-pasta-expert-is-dead-at-66.html|accessdate=December 3, 2010}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Elaine Kaufman |url=http://www.economist.com/node/17672838 |newspaper=The Economist |date=9 December 2010 |accessdate=3 September 2012}} See also
