Excerpt:

The Nanny was bright and goofy and … that voice! The Nanny was that voice.

In the role that made her a star, Fran Drescher played a cosmetics saleswoman straight from Queens who uses her fast-talking ways to land the job as a live-in babysitter for a wealthy widower. The motley crew (three kids!) was rounded out by snarky butler Niles and Mr. Sheffield’s business partner, the very snooty, C.C.

Like Happily, Drescher’s own ex-husband came out, but they still have a “wonderful relationship,” as she told MORE. She continues to be outspoken about her horrific 1985 rape and channeled her battle with uterine cancer into the successful “Cancer Schmancer” Movement. The organization, which Drescher serves as president of, promotes early detection, prevention, and policy change.

In fact, the 58-year-old was appointed as Public Diplomacy Envoy for Women’s Health Issues in 2008. ...
