A Heart Attack? Me? I Don't Think So...
Most peeps by now know that I'm a cancer survivor. That's right -- me, Fran Drescher, who became famous, then got cancer and lived to talk about it.
So after writing a New York Times bestseller and founding my own nonprofit by the same name Cancer Schmancer, I kinda feel like, OK, I'm that go-to celeb whenever the subject of cancer comes up and a celeb is needed for commentary.
Not exactly what I signed up for, but here I am...
Then, one day the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women asked me to participate in their Red Dress Collection fashion show.
This rather unexpected invitation came after I'd received yet another unexpected invitation to join Barbra Streisand for lunch to discuss her heart health center in Los Angeles.
So I thought, what are these heart people trying to tell me? What do I have to do with heart health when I had uterine cancer?
But who turns down lunch with Barbra Streisand? No one, that's who!
And off I went to the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills. Well, after thoroughly dissecting her clothes, makeup, and hair -- all unpretentious, understated, yet elegant -- I began to absorb what this iconic figure was saying and that was when it happened.
