Maxine Feibelman (born 1952) is a former seamstress for California bands[2] who was married for several years to Elton John's frequent collaborator Bernie Taupin. Her romance, marriage, and break-up with Taupin influenced some of Taupin's and John's songs,[3] she provided the title and refrain for one of their songs,[4] and she supported John's path toward his distinct stage costume style.[5]
