Fran Drescher says she feared Hollywood ‘blacklist’ after taking on industry power players
Fox News
Fran Drescher feared blacklisting after leading the SAG-AFTRA strike in 2023. "The Nanny" star worried she might never work again before landing a role in "Marty Supreme."
"It's very nice for me, because I went up against the kings of our industry, and if there was ever a blacklist out there, baby, my name would have been on it," Dresher told People magazine. "I thought I might never work again. I also thought, if that's the case, I'll always do something else. I'm a writer. But in fact, this has kind of elevated me, so I don't really have that fear anymore."
"I may not get the leads in films, we'll see," she added. "But that's okay, because I don't need to work so hard anymore, to be carrying something. That's a lot of work. And I like my play time!"
