She received two Emmy and two Golden Globe nominations for portraying the lovable “Miss Fine” on the CBS hit series The Nanny, and she starred in Happily Divorced on TV Land. An accomplished author, Fran wrote two New York Times best-selling books ( Enter Whining and Cancer Schmancer) and a children’s book ( Being Wendy).Ī 20+-year uterine cancer survivor, Fran is the founder, president, and visionary of the nonprofit Cancer Schmancer Movement, which transforms patients into medical consumers. Readers will warm to this straight-talking Queens native, even if they do tire of her celebrity woes (such as facing the paparazzi too soon after surgery).Fran Drescher has earned a reputation for bringing passion and commitment to all of her endeavors. Although Drescher sometimes lapses into therapy-speak, tracing everything back to childhood, her one-liners can be priceless. Yet it is her storytelling skills and humor that make this uncomplicated book a good read. Consistently frank about her emotional ups and downs, Drescher addresses important quality-of-life issues such as fatigue and sex. She also devotes a chapter to the loss of her beloved dog, Chester Drescher. She then depicts the hysterectomy that followed as well as her recovery, focusing mostly on the support she received from her friends and family and her first post-divorce boyfriend, who is 16 years her junior.
In the book which serves as an unexpected follow-up to her 1995 memoir, Enter Whining the actress describes living with symptoms for more than two years while shuttling from doctor to doctor without a diagnosis.
Drescher, most famous for her loud, nasal voice and her role on the 1990s TV series The Nanny, advises readers to "open a mouth" when dealing with their doctors in this down-to-earth account of her experience with uterine cancer.
