Who can forget Fran Drescher’s classic line in her iconic TV series The Nanny. The show centered around a working-class girl that lands a job taking care of a handsome rich widow’s 3 children. This hilarious fish-out-of-water story, with its many running gags, earned an Emmy in 1995 and brought laughs to millions of viewers.
Born in New York, Fran has been entertaining audiences since playing Connie the disco diva in 1977’s Saturday Night Fever. After The Nanny ended in 1999 she’s starred in sitcoms Living with Fran and Happily Divorced, as well as hosting a short-lived talk show. She also conquered Broadway in the 2014 revival of Cinderella. In addition to acting, Fran is also an outspoken activist, cancer survivor, and author. Fran wrote 2007’s “Cancer Schmancer” about her struggle with the disease.
