 Francine
Joy Drescher was born on September 30th, 1957 in Flushing,
Queens, New York to Morty and Sylvia Drescher. Fran, as she is
called, attended Hillcrest High school in New York with another
now-famous name, Ray Romano. She was a studious girl and was quite
popular. In fact, at age fifteen she'd met the man she thought
she'd spend the rest of her life with. That man was Peter Marc
Jacobson. Her first break was in the unforgettable movie, Saturday
Night Fever (1977) with John Travolta. She continued to play small
roles in movies, until she came up with the idea for _"Nanny",
The" (1993)_ . She was visiting a friend in England and came
up with the plotline. "The Nanny" became an instant success,
and so did Fran. Since then, she has been in films such as Beautician
and the Beast, The (1997) (which she also produced) and _Picking
up the Pieces (2000)_ co-starring Woody Allen. Fran has since divorced
her husband Jacobson. She is a cancer survivor and an inspiration
to women everywhere.
