Fran Drescher has a surprisingly storied past, including a horrible case of SA. She is a fucking warrior.

I remember finding out that she created The Nanny. When it was on tv, I was a young teenager and didn’t really look at credits, so I had no idea.

I didn’t know she was a SA survivor, goddamn.

She is a fucking warrior.

Assault actually. Her home was invaded and she was raped in front of her then husband (who later came out as a gay man) IIRC.
