The Nanny (1993): What Really Happened to the Cast Will Surprise You

The Nanny ran on CBS for six seasons and made Fran Drescher one of the most recognisable faces on American television. The voice. The clothes. The laugh. You know it when you hear it. But what most people watching never knew was what was happening behind the scenes and what came after. Fran Drescher survived a violent home invasion in 1985 that she has never fully recovered from. She spent two years being told by doctors she was too young to have cancer before finally being diagnosed and undergoing surgery that saved her life. Her husband of twenty one years came out as gay after their divorce and became her closest friend. She married a man who claimed to have invented email and divorced him two years later. And then she went to war with the entire Hollywood studio system as president of SAG-AFTRA and led the most significant actors strike in forty years. That is one person. There are six more cast members. Charles Shaughnessy actually is British. The man critics said should take accent lessons from Daniel Davis was using his real voice the whole time. Daniel Davis is from Arkansas. If you grew up watching this show or you just want to know what became of the people who made it, this one is worth your time.
