Actor Fran Drescher made a name for herselfwhen she starredin the iconic 1990s sitcom “The Nanny.”
Overtime, Drescher’s character and her boss, Mr. Sheffield, fall in love.
Her work didn’t stop there.
She dabbled in live performance as well when she took a role on Broadway in 2014.
This step away from the limelight was intentional on Drescher’s part.
Having an established career, she can afford to be selective when it comes to taking on roles.
“I’m not trying to make it anymore,” Drescher toldUs Weekly.
I already have one.
And I’m older."
If it isn’t integral to the film, she won’t consider it.
Additionally, it has to pay well and be likely to make it to the big screens.
“The project has to have its own money too.
I don’t wanna do a movie and it never opens, you know what I’m saying?
It’s a lot of work and I want it to be a legit production.”
She is, however, helping write the script, along with Jacobsen.
Meanwhile, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” creator Rachel Bloom is handling lyrics for the musical.
“‘The Nanny’ was always kind of a musical without the music,” Drescher continued.
“It’s going to be a very elegant transition … contemporized attitudinally and stuff.”
