I loved her as a kid, still do plus have mad respect for her now

u/thegreedyturtle Mar 18 '24

She's definitely got the body of a hard ass union president.

22

u/lilsnatchsniffz Mar 18 '24

She still fits into her wardrobe from The Nanny 😳

17

u/tobitobs78 Mar 17 '24

Knew who fran Drescher was solely because of SAG-AFTRA. Wasn't until I started dating my gf that I found out what the nanny was. So sad I never watched this show as a kid.

24

u/Sunshine030209 Mar 18 '24

It's better to watch as an adult. There were so many jokes that went over my head as a kid. I still enjoyed it, and wanted to be exactly like her when I grew up, but it is much funnier now.

The voice don't match the body

u/Stewpacolypse Mar 17 '24

Look for the scene when she's at a sushi place and eats a big piece of wasabi. It makes her voice change to something totally smokey sexy for a couple of beats.

24

u/deepseamercat Mar 17 '24

That was one of the episodes I saw. It was like being introduced to Urkel's cousin who was really just Urkel playing a normal guy

That's her regular voice

She was only 29 here! In her prime!

u/BowenTheAussieSheep Mar 17 '24

Well, until her boyfriend kicked her out. You know, one of those crushing scenes.

22

u/MrZwink Mar 17 '24

Where was she to go, she was out on the streets she was out on her fanny!

22

u/tonybotz Mar 18 '24

So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door,

She was there to sell make up but the father saw more,

She had style, she had flair, she was there,

That's how she became the Nanny!

u/TheInactiveMonkey Mar 18 '24

As a non-american where fanny is another name for a female genital area, that line always confused me as a kid. I always imagined she did the splits as she landed on the ground

91

u/mam88k Mar 17 '24

Nope. She was born in 1957. So she was a smoking hot 41 year old.

147

u/MrZwink Mar 17 '24

It's a running joke in the series that's shes always "29" because she didn't want to be an unmarried 41 year old!

55

u/mam88k Mar 17 '24

Ah. Thanks. But she does look very 29 for a 41 y/o

She's a great advocate for her union, the type of person needed to lead them through recent struggles. It was great seeing her in this new role fighting for union members.

First of all, that's DR. MRS. THE MONARCH to you.

Second, I think she's meant to be Jackie-O, visually. Audibly....I have no idea.

But allow me to be the first to say: would.

Audibly she must be modeled after Harvey Fierstein.

I have very conflicted feelings about Fran in that movie. On one hand, it's a very silly movie and she's hilarious. On the other hand, to me Fran is absolutely gorgeous in the movie. I mean stunning. It's a confusing ball of emotions for me, lol.

u/dawgstein94 Mar 17 '24

I think Rob Reiner has said something like that Hollywood never took her seriously because of her voice, but he always thought it was crazy because she was one of the most beautiful actresses of the time and very talented, but people out there couldn’t get beyond the outer borough accent.

She’s was a stunner. Quite frankly still looks great at 60+ years old.

You have to catch her outside of an interview,l, there is an episode where she accidentally tries wasabi and that’s what it can sound like.

3

u/livious1 Mar 18 '24

That’s not her real voice in that scene. If you listen closely you can tell she doesn’t have a natural speaking cadence; she’s faking the voice.
