Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.

I don't get it

Fran Drescher is president of SAG-AFTRA and leading the strike against, amongst other things, studios wanting to use AI to replace actors and writers.
Fran Drescher, the woman on the right, is the spokesperson for the current strike in Hollywood, where writers and actors are trying to force the studios to agree to not use AI in upcoming productions. To clarify, she's the current head of SAG/AFTRA, which is the screen actors guild (union).
- We should also add that she used to be the star of a sitcom called The Nanny in the 90s and hasn't been heard of much since, so it was a big surprise to a lot of people (me included) when it turned out she's been really active behind the scenes.

The Nanny being the one to lead the charge vs Skynet is the exact shit I expect from this current clown timeline.

And I'm fine with it. Fran Drescher is awesome.

She's an antivax conspiracy chud. Reserve your praise.
- Select your praise. You can praise her pro-SAG action without having to also praise or even care about her anti-vax postures.
- Right now she's fucking up Hollywood billionaires. If true then I'm willing to use her like we used the Soviets in WW2.
  
  The greater good
She's passionate and she cares.
Fran is constantly fighting for people’s rights. I love her.

Okay but I think we can all agree Fran Drescher is THE baddest bitch after having watched her impassioned call to arms.

I don't know who that is.

I didn't either until this thread. Fran Drescher is the current president of the screen actors guild and I assume this has something to do with the writers strike. I guess AI content like images and stories, plus their own likeness and brands, is an issue in the strike.

I'm not paying any attention to the writers strike because I haven't really consumed any new hollywood movies or tv shows in quite a while. Hollywood just isn't relevant anymore and they know it, there's just too much content online and other things to keep busy for me to care about their garbage.
- Fran is quite well known for her role in The Nanny, and a pertinent scene is one where she fights not to cross a picket (strike) line, and her employer forces her across.
  
  So a lot of us who remember this scene are all having a little extra giggle about the whole deal.
- I see what they're getting at. Yeah I don't really watch anything either!
- I mean, if you want to post an irrelevant opinion that doesn't reflect that of the majority's, you should've gone to unpopularopinion

Fran Drescher, lead actress in "The Nanny" from the 90s. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000376/ as well as other things, of course. but this is what i remember her from.
She's in the greatest film ever created: UHF.
- Let's not forget The Hollywood Knights.
I think it's about the Hollywood actors' strike.
Chandler's on and off girlfriend

The highly nasal voice that strike fear into the hearts of machines everywhere.

For a long time I thought she played Janice on friends
- Do you mean to tell me that she doesn't play Janice on Friends?

Bobbi Flekman confronted the sexism in the Spinal Tap album "Smell the Glove" back when she worked artist relations for Polymer Records in 1982. She has known for years that "Money talks, and bullshit walks"

She confronted it again in UHF. And kicked it.

Off topic but she sounded hoarse AF. I dunno if it's from recent screaming or a pack-a-day habit but it caught me off guard.

Fran Drescher is such a baddie, all else aside.
