CancerSchmancer!

Hollywood on the Potomac, Brendan Kownacki

Actress Fran Drescher, best known for her role as the sarcastic star of the 90′s hit The Nanny, was in Washington D.C. this week taking on a much different role – judge and advocate.

Drescher, who currently stars on TVLand’s Happily Divorced, was one of the celebrity guest judges at the University of Maryland’s public policy school’s second annual Do Good Challenge, a philanthropic contest.

While in town, she stopped to talk about her own advocacy and philanthropy leading her group Cancer Schmancer and how she has taken her message globally as a Public Diplomacy Envoy for Women’s Health Issues for the U.S. State Department. Her passion is unmistakable as a cancer survivor herself and her spirit is infectioous, making you want to get involved.
