Biography
FRAN DRESCHER stars as Los Angeles florist Fran in TV Land’s original sitcom “Happily Divorced,” written by Fran Drescher and Peter Marc Jacobson (who previously teamed on “The Nanny”), “Happily Divorced” is inspired by Drescher’s real life experience and revolves around Fran as she re-enters the dating world after finding out that her realtor husband of 18 years is gay.
Fran Drescher has been described as a "Russell" – she has the comic timing of Rosalind Russell, the curves of Jane Russell, and the tenacity of a Jack Russell! Drescher received two Emmy® Awards and two Golden Globe® nominations for her portrayal as the lovable Miss Fine on the hit CBS series "The Nanny," a show she also created, wrote, directed and executive produced.
An accomplished film actress, Drescher won Esquire magazine’s Five Minute Oscar for her memorable performance in the mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap.” She has co-starred in countless films throughout her career with the likes of Robin Williams, Dan Aykroyd, Tim Robbins and Billy Crystal, and worked with such esteemed directors as Rob Reiner, Milos Forman and Francis Ford Coppola. But she is most proud of her starring turn opposite Timothy Dalton in Beautician and The Beast, a film she also executive produced.
On stage, Drescher has had the privilege of performing in Ron Ribman’s “Rug Merchants of Chaos” at The Pasadena Playhouse in Los Angeles, “The Exonerated” in New York City, Neil La Bute’s “Some Girls,” and the New York production of Nora Ephron’s “Love, Loss, and What I Wore.” Drescher also performed in a special production of “Camelot” at the renowned Lincoln Center.
Drescher is also an accomplished author. Enter Whining, her first book, was on The New York Times Best Seller list. Leveraging her success as “The Nanny,” Drescher’s literary endeavor is Being Wendy, by Penguin Publishing, which sends an empowering message to parents and children about celebrating uniqueness and thinking outside of the box. For her book Cancer Schmancer, (also a New York Times Best Seller), Drescher received the prestigious NCCS Writer’s Award.
