Fran Drescher is best known for herfashionable characterFran Fine in “The Nanny.”
The comedian has produced, acted, and written several works.
However,you rarely see Drescher in Hollywood anymorebecause she’s working magic behind the scenes.
“I know how to argue on behalf of someone.”
Drescher is putting those skills to use in the wake of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
But how did “The Nanny” star go from onscreen diva to union leader?
However, the waves she created in the social and political scene will go down in history.
The “Enter Whining” author created the Cancer Schmancer Foundation in 2007 after surviving uterine cancer.
Her organization got the Gynecologic Cancer Education and Awareness Act passed in Washington.
She was the U.S. State Department Public Diplomacy Envoy for Health under Secretary Condoleezza Rice and Secretary Hillary Clinton.
As the union leader, she represents over 160,000 actors and performers.
On July 14, 2023, the SAG-AFTRA joined the picket lines.
It has been over six decades since both writers and actors were on strike simultaneously.
The previous agreement is outdated thanks to A.I.
and streaming services integrated into the industry.
