Date of birth: 30 September 1957,
Birth Place: Flushing, New York, USA
After years of small roles in small films and TV
shows, this comic actress gained fame as a Mary Poppins from Queens in
the sitcom "The Nanny". A brazenly sexy, stylish comic actress
with a distinctively honking 'Noo Yawk' accent, Fran Drescher is a former
Miss New York Teenager who began her film career with a bit part in "Saturday
Night Fever" (1977), uttering the memorable line, "Are you as
good in bed as you are on the dance floor?" to John Travolta. Her
film career took a long time to get off the ground. She attracted a little
attention in one of the leading roles in "American Hot Wax"
(1978), as a snappy secretary. Drescher generally appeared in supporting
roles in features, including "G.O.R.P" and "The Hollywood
Knights" (both 1980), "Ragtime" (1981), "Doctor Detroit"
(1982), "This Is Spinal Tap" (1984, memorably as the plastic
public relations director), "The Big Picture" (1989) and "Cadillac
Man" (1990), opposite Robin Williams. She and Williams reteamed in
Francis Ford Coppola's "Jack" (1996). But none of Drescher's
films gained much notice (other titles include "We're Talkin' Serious
Money," 1992, and "Car 54, Where Are You?" 1994). It wasn't
until Drescher became a TV star that studios took notice, and in 1995
she inked a two-picture deal, one with Caravan and one with TriStar. "The
Beautician and the Beast" (1997), executive produced by Drescher
and her husband Peter Marc Jacobson, was almost a spin-off of her TV series,
"The Nanny," with Drescher as a Queens girl who becomes tutor
for an Eastern European dictator.
