Fran Drescher is not just a famous actress most well-known for her role as Fran Fine on the 90s hit sitcom The Nanny. She is also a 21-year uterine cancer survivor. In 2002, she published her New York Times best-selling memoir Cancer Schmancer, which chronicled her journey through multiple misdiagnoses and survival. Five years later, she founded the Cancer Schmancer Movement, an organization that promotes early detection of women’s cancers and aims to transform the nation’s healthcare system through policy change.
Listen to hear Jay and Fran discuss her long history of activism, her passion for women’s health issues, and why The Nanny’s recent resurgence proves the show was ahead of its time.
