“Nanny” star Fran Drescher is celebrated with Hollywood star
The sitcom “Die Nanny” made Fran Drescher famous. In the series she played a sloping nanny. She was also known as the head of Hollywood’s acting union – now the star ceremony.
US actress Fran Drescher (67) receives a permanent place in Hollywood with a star badge on the “Walk of Fame”. On September 30th, the US actress is scheduled for 2,822 on the famous sidewalk. Remove star. Colleagues such as Natasha Lyonne (46) and Renee Taylor (92) are invited as guests who pay tribute.
They were happy to distinguish Drescher for their acting and for their “tireless” commitment to the Sag-Aftra actor union, the organizers said.
Drescher celebrated her film debut in 1977 in the success strip “Saturday Night Fever”. The sitcom “Die Nanny” then made the actress world famous. In the series, she played an unusual nanny between 1993 and 1999 – with a huge frozen hair, biting joke and cutting voice. Renee Taylor embodied the mother of the title character Fran Fine. Drescher celebrated success worldwide and was nominated for several prizes. The Drescher, born in New York in 1957, also played in films such as “Ragtime”, “This is Spinal Tap”, “Cadillac Man” or “Jack”.
Fighting union leader
In 2021 she was elected President of Hollywood’s actor union. SAG-AFTRA (“Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists”) has more than 160,000 members and is an important negotiating partner for production companies. In 2023, the union had paralyzed film and television production in the USA with a month-long strike to higher royalties and better protection against the use of artificial intelligence. At that time Drescher made a name for herself as a combative strike guide.
