Fran Drescher, from “The Nanny” to the leader of the actors’ strike in Hollywood

If the name of Fran Drescher It probably sounds like a few, but if they see her photo and talk about the show that catapulted her to fame, many probably know who she’s talking about.

The name of the 66-year-old actress has been heard again in recent weeks due to the Hollywood actors’ strike that began indefinitely last week and paralyzed the audiovisual industry in the country. She is the leader of the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA). But, who really is Drescher?

The translator gained world fame in the 1990s, and her fame continued as the series in which she starred, Nanny (or the babysitter) for those who saw it on Galician television. She was Fran Fine, a young woman who is impossible to comb and who one day knocks on a millionaire’s door to sell make-up, mistaking her for an ambitious governess. And that is that the family was in need of that number, with three orphans, a butler and recently a widower who doesn’t know where to go.

So Fran Fine, who knows very little about educational methods, ends up in a position she never aspired to. His methods of disciplining and solving problems were highly unconventional, but he managed to keep all three children in his pocket, as well as his father.

Affiliated with the Democratic Party

“Greedy Wall Street companies are throwing money around among their executives and forgetting about essential workers. (…) It’s disgusting, they should be ashamed,” said Drescher on Thursday, according to Efe. This is just an excerpt from his belligerent speech, after a month of unsuccessful negotiations that ended with the first strike by Hollywood actors in 63 years, which together with the screenwriters’ strike, paralyzed the industry.

Born in the New York borough of Queens, she managed to make a name for herself in the City of Stars, and now she’s trying to break down the pillars of a job she knows well because, in addition to acting, she was also an executive director. producer in several of her series. Not hiding his ties to the Democratic Party, he managed to come to power after a fierce fight against his opponent Matthew Modine with the slogan United by force in Spain, in which he managed to unite a very divided union.

Although he continued to work, no role brought him back to the glory of Fran Fine in the babysitter, and overcame two divorces and uterine cancer. Now she is the leader negotiating the future of 160,000 stakeholders, concerned, among other things, with the progress of artificial intelligence and the supremacy of communication platforms. streaming.

The remaining path does not seem easy, because the conflict could take root, but also because of her distinctive style, for which she has already earned a wave of criticism after appearing in a fashion show with Kim Kardashian.
