Fran Drescher stars in "Happily Divorced" on TV Land as Fran.

Fran Drescher is perhaps best known for starring as Fran Fine, the saucy, outspoken and always sexy nanny in the 1990s sitcom, "The Nanny." She was also one of the co-creators, writers and producers for the series. She more recently starred in The WB's "Living with Fran" and hosted her own talk show, "The Fran Drescher Show."

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Drescher wanted to be an actress from the time she was a child. She attended Hillcrest High School, a career-oriented school, and studied drama. She met her ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, in the drama club.

After a year at Queen's College, Fran and Peter decided they needed a practical trade to fall back on and entered cosmetology school. After receiving their licenses, they opened a mini-salon giving $5.00 haircuts.

Drescher's first feature film role was in "Saturday Night Fever." Her other film credits include "American Hot Wax ," "Gorp," "The Hollywood Knights," "Ragtime," "Cadillac Man," " Serious Money" and "It Had To Be You." Her role in the cult classic "This is Spinal Tap" won her a "five-minute Oscar" from Esquire magazine. (She later revived her "Spinal Tap" character, Bobbi Flekman, for a "Nanny" episode.)



She starred in the series "Princesses" and has guested on television in "Alf," "Night Court," "Nine to Five," "Fame," "The Tracy Ullman Show" and " Civil Wars." Fran also co-starred in the television movies "Love and Betrayal" and "Terror in the Towers."

In 2000, Fran was diagnosed with uterine cancer. The cancer was only in the early stages and was removed successfully through surgery. The experience caused Drescher to write her second book, "Cancer Schmancer." The book turned into a movement, and Drescher formed a non-profit organization to increase cancer awareness and increase early detection rates.

My headache could be worse. If #FranDrescher's voice moved in. Time to shower, smoke a bowl, and eat too many pills. Back later.

This Hotel Transylvania movie almost sounded interesting until I found out #FranDrescher is a voice in it and now it has lost me forever.

@CoriLouise1721 I'm coughing and sneezing and I sound like #FranDrescher. You're much safer nerding in a separate room right now. Lol
