ABOUT OUR HONOREE
“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Fran Drescher to the Hollywood Walk of Fame," stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “Fran has not only brought laughter and joy to millions through her unforgettable work on screen, but she has also shown tremendous strength and dedication as a leader for her fellow performers. We are thrilled to honor her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for both her artistic achievements and her tireless advocacy as SAG-AFTRA President.” – Ana Martinez, Producer, Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Fran Drescher is often described as a Russell because she has the curves of Jane Russell, the comic timing of Roz Russell, and the tenacity of a Jack Russell.
Drescher is best known for her portrayal of the beloved Fran Fine in the hit television series The Nanny, which she co-created and executive produced. She was nominated for two Golden Globes and two Emmy awards.
Fran has also appeared in the cult classic This Is Spinal Tap, for which she won Esquire Magazine’s five-minute Oscar. She has worked with great directors like Milos Foreman in Ragtime, Francis Ford Coppola in Jack, and Rob Reiner. She starred in Doctor Detroit with Dan Aykroyd, Cadillac Man with Robin Williams, and The Beautician and the Beast with Timothy Dalton.
She is also a two-time NY Times best-selling author with Enter Whining and Cancer Schmancer.
Fran is the founder and visionary of the nonprofit Cancer Schmancer which focuses on causation of disease and instituting radical lifestyle change to prevent or reverse illness.
Annually, she curates the Fran Drescher Master Class Health Summit in support of Cancer Schmancer. This life-changing educational experience streams live all over the world and remains available as a free Edu-Series.
She is no stranger to D.C. and was written up in the Washingtonian as one of the top five celebrity lobbyists. Fran successfully got the gynecologic cancer education and awareness act passed by unanimous consent, a feat that earned her two mentions in the congressional record and the appointment of Public Diplomacy Envoy for Health with the US State Department.
In September 2021, Fran was elected national president of SAG-AFTRA, the largest entertainment labor union in the world and a proud member of the AFL-CIO. Currently she is lighting a fire with her usual flair for AMFA, the American Music Fairness Act, and PATPA, the Performing Arts Tax Parity Act, as well as the CROWN Act and Violence Against Women Act.
