Remember MySpace? 10 Questions With… Fran Drescher!
“She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing Queens, ’til her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes…,” sing it!
Guys, I actually got giddy when I received her answers for this Remember MySpace survey, and I don’t get starstruck. (Okay, fine, maybe I did once when I met Ryan Gosling, but I’m a mammal, so that’s completely within the realm of normal expectation.)
Fran Drescher is a friend-of-a-friend of two of my friends who don’t even know each other, which somehow makes my Kevin Bacon number to Fran involve complex algebraic equations, but I’m okay with just knowing that people that I know get to have coffee with her because that’s really what I’ve wanted to do since, like, 1992. It’s like third-party bucket list crossing off complexity sort of stuff and I’m not alone: there are websites and websites and websites of people out there devoted to everything The Nanny.
And The Nanny was great, but here’s the thing: “When she went over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield’s door, (she was there to sell make up but the father saw more).” He was so right in seeing more because I’m pretty certain that when Alicia Keys wrote ‘Superwoman’, her “…and all my sisters coming together say: yes I will, yes I can” lyric was written with Fran Drescher in mind.
