Get ready to shriek with delight, darling! The incomparable Fran Drescher, whose distinctive voice and impeccable comedic timing brought us the beloved "Nanny" Fran Fine, is set to be immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This momentous occasion will see the actress, producer, and current SAG-AFTRA president receive her own star on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, at 11:30 a.m.

PST, marking a truly well-deserved recognition of her illustrious career.

The star, the 2,773rd of its kind, will be unveiled at 6200 Hollywood Boulevard, perfectly situated near the iconic intersection of Hollywood & Vine. Fans and admirers are invited to witness this celebratory event, which will also be live-streamed for those who can't make it to Tinseltown.

Adding an extra sparkle to the ceremony, two prominent figures will be speaking in honor of Drescher.

The legendary comedian and former co-star, Rosie O'Donnell, who shared the screen with Drescher in "The Nanny" and "The Nanny Reunion: A Nosh to Remember," will undoubtedly share heartwarming and hilarious anecdotes. Joining her will be Sherry Ann, the current SAG-AFTRA Secretary-Treasurer and a past National Executive Director, who will speak to Drescher's profound impact as the president of the performers' union, especially her leadership during the historic 2023 strike.

Ana Martinez, the esteemed producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, expressed the collective excitement, stating, "We are thrilled to honor Fran Drescher with a well-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Fran is a beloved actress who has graced our screens for decades with her unique comedic timing and memorable performances.

We are proud to add her name to our Hollywood Walk of Fame, a place where she will be eternally celebrated by fans around the world."

Drescher's journey to stardom began long before she graced the Sheffield household. Her career spans decades, with notable roles in films such as "Saturday Night Fever," "This is Spinal Tap," and "Cadillac Man." However, it was her iconic portrayal of Fran Fine in the hit CBS sitcom "The Nanny" (1993-1999) that cemented her status as a pop culture phenomenon.

The series, which she co-created and executive produced with her then-husband Peter Marc Jacobson, became a global sensation, showcasing her unique blend of humor, heart, and high fashion.

Beyond her acting prowess, Drescher has emerged as a powerful advocate for artists' rights. Since her election as president of SAG-AFTRA in 2021, she has championed fair compensation and improved working conditions for performers.

Her impassioned speeches and unwavering resolve during the recent Hollywood strikes resonated globally, highlighting the crucial role of union leadership in today's entertainment landscape. This star not only celebrates her artistic achievements but also her significant contributions to the industry's future.

From her early roles to her transformative work as a union leader, Fran Drescher has consistently captivated audiences and made a lasting impact.

Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is more than just a tribute; it's a testament to her enduring talent, her unyielding spirit, and the joy she has brought to millions. Congratulations to our favorite Nanny on this magnificent achievement!
