So I'm guessing this Fran Drescher stand up performance is from late 2017, or early 2018, because she says she just turned 60 in 1 of these videos. But she was born September 30, 1957 (not that I'm her personal biographer or anything) and it's now October, 2025. So she's 68 today. Now, if anyone is still awake from that, I'll give both of you the rest of this story.
Not that I would ever guess that Fran Drescher is 68 today. She's just too, damn cute, with those eyes, big baby cheeks, and smile. I think even her Jewish, Queens, New York accent, is very cute. Even though some people might think it's as annoying as spam calls at dinner time. I think she sounds like a sweetheart with it. And part of her Jewish Queens background, is how she got the lead in Nanny. So it obviously paid off for her. (Not that I'm trying to sound too ethnic here)
Speaking of very funny women... the hilarious and adorable Joan Collins, who made at least 1 appearance on Nanny with Fran Drescher, is known for the quote:
"Age is just a number... unless you are a bottle of wine". I guess an old bottle of wine, wouldn't be a fine bottle of wine. But that's besides the point.
And my point is not it's "not how old you are, but how you feel". That cliche is the great, great, grandfather of "only time will tell" and it's not accurate either. My point and I think it's Joan Collins point as well (even though I've never even spoke to the woman, let alone know here) is that it's not about years that you lived, but your quality of life. And besides, a crazy person could think they can walk on air, even at 85 years old, or jump out of a window, and fly away. But it's about how you are mentally and physically, how productive and happy you are, regardless of how old you are.
There are 19 year olds who are currently in prison for murder and looking at as many as 30 years, maybe even the rest of their lives, in prison. Are you going to try to convince me that their quality of life and that they should feel better about their life, then a beautiful, adorable, 68 year old woman, who is a professional comedian and a very successful 1 at that? You wouldn't try to convince me that the 19 year old in prison is having a better life... unless you were currently high, drunk, insane, current suffering from brain damage that was never even diagnosed. Or, you drugged me, or spiked my glass of ice tea, with entire bottle of scotch, without me knowing about it.
And as far as Fran Drescher having a gay husband: I would bet anything (that someone else has) that Fran didn't send her husband into homosexuality. Or broke into his closet, tore it down even, and through him out of it.
But Fran Drescher's marriage to a gay man does remind me a series of Seinfeld episodes back in the 1990s, when George (played by Jason Alexander) is engaged to marry his girlfriend. And she calls it off, splits up with him and they run into each other later on, only this time she now has a girlfriend.
Now, George Constanza could send Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Jaclyn Smith... into homosexuality. 3 of the most beautiful and cutest, most feminine women, in the history of Planet Earth. But have them date George Constanza for a while, they would not just give up men, but they would become so gay that they would all try out to play for the New York Giants football team and all make the team as linebackers, not kickers, or cheerleaders. They would make former Clinton Administration Attorney General Janet Reno, look like Miss America, in comparison, after a few dates with Mr. Constanza.
I mean George is like:
5'6-5'7, 190-200 pounds,
balding,
can't see his fingers in front of his face, without his glasses,
unemployed, still living with his aging parents in his mid 30s...
he couldn't give a damn about anyone other than himself, even for a million dollars. George, is the perfect candidate to send an attractive, feminine woman, into lesbianism.
But Fran Drescher:
5'7 and built,
beautiful, baby face brunette,
who is very sweet and funny, as well as successful.
I think her ex-husband, was living out-of-a-closet and pretending to be straight man's, man, (meant in the straight man's sense) to keep his secret safe.
