I always remember the episode where she eats some sushi that she's just ladled a mound of wasabi onto, and then says, in a deep, rich, clear voice, "Gee, y'know, that mustard really clears up the nasal passages. I *like* it. I wonder [fades back into her real voice] how long it'll last." Single funniest moment on the show.
I saw that recently and wondered how much of her nasal voice is put on and what she really sounds like when she isn't trying to affect any "sound." It's like Jim Nabors... was that Andy Griffith Show voice really his natural voice? We know what his singing voice is like - a nice baritone - does there have to be such a vast difference between the two? Tom Baker - Americans' favorite Doctor Who - is well-known for his beautiful voice and impeccable RP "posh" dialect. But he's from Liverpool! I bet he trained himself into that voice.
@@aussiewanderer6304(The kids come back and Fran gets to mingle with their kids.) Brighton, one of your boys is laying on the floor with a knife in his his chest and ketchup, what's that all about? I don't want to talk about it.
Ahm Ahm What are you doing? Letting people know there's a brilliant idea in our presence, that way if enough people like it, it may become reality. What's the idea? Read Martin's comment above, I'll wait. Oh hey, that's a good idea! I know right! Now grab a prayer mat, kneel on it, and repeat after me...Ahm Ahm Almighty computer web make Martin's idea become reality, Drienka rules! Drienka rules! Think that'll work? Can't hurt! Now shhh! Ahm Ahm
Same here. Especially after the episode (Just an excerpt actually; I've never made it through a full episode with the clownish acting and her earsplitting voice) where she eats wasabi and for a minute loses the adenoidal drone&squeek. Now I'm puzzled that someone who can speak so normally would continue with this tone.
@@WeTubule what the hell? So she should talk a certain way just to meet your standards? She's an actress, she can act. Doesn't mean a more normal voice would be comfortable long-term. What do you tell everyone with a foreign accent who can do an American accent that they should just speak American? Or the other way around? They can't because it's not natural or comfortable to them
@Michael Wong most of the world hates trump, and I’m pretty sure just about all of Us have cut in line at some point. Hell sometimes for safety of a celeb and the crowds, they are forced to do this via police due to their safety plan.
@@katmills3978 And if you gotta go that far to be able to say she's not a nice person then haters gotta hate I guess Lol (Sorry I'm getting ready to sleep idk if that made any sence but Im calling the other person a hater not you)
She looks great for her age. If she has had any work done, it's very subtle. So many celebs go way overboard on the botox, and it's not a good look; I'm glad she didn't go that route.
Always hear different actors talk about when they were young, they were told they wouldn't make it unless they changed to be just like everyone else. Yet having something different is what allowed them to stand out and acheive their goals.
So true. So sad that most of us are told to change who we are for the comfort of someone else. I’m starting a new job next week after pandemic unemployment and even at age 37 I am petrified because I hear my ‘dad’ telling me I’m stupid ringing in my ears. I have a uni degree and still feel like I won’t be able to do this job.
True, but unfortunately there are many others who we don't hear about - those whose difference wasn't accepted and who were never able to succeed due to silly prejudiced and ideas.
They think that only what precisely happens in the past is possible to happen in the future. But things are always changing and people need novelty, so that's a stupid way of thinking.
I don't know if it's her voice or her accent is more annoying but her laugh is horrible! I still like her! 😃 (And i NEVER watched any of her show!) Go figure! 🤔
I love Fran Drescher and her character in "The Nanny". She is smart, beautiful, funny, down-to-earth, and nice. She's also a survivor. As for her voice, she owned it.
People need to stop using "overrated" and "underrated", as they never use them correctly. A show with 37 awards, including induction into the Television Hall of Fame, which consistently had a weekly viewership above 13 million people, and was one of the highest rated TV sitcoms of the 90s, is far from "underrated" smh
She has a NY Brooklyn Queens long island accent. It vary's a bit from each location and the neighborhood you grew up in, but essentially that is a NY Voice. Italian, Black, Jew, white, Irish, etc all have tweaked accents that surround that tenor. Only people from Manhattan typically had voices without heavy accents. Oddly enough People from upstate NY had accents more like Texans!! nothing at all like those from the metropolitan area. Then again NY's metro area is the heart of immigrant migration. And as each peoples clustered into their own groups and neighborhoods so did their dialect's accents and styles intermingle with one another. Only those who didn't speak any English truly held onto their homeland accents, but their children and descendants picked up the new accents and slang, because it reinforced your origins. Birds of feather flock together, and speak the common tongue. and oh.. BTW.. you should never EVER remove your native tongue and accent for the sake of others. Be yourself!! if they dont like it, the who the hell do they think they are!? Im not talking about profanity. yes that you can loose. Im talking about your legend, where your from.
@@xevious2501 Don't worry about it, you should see how long some of my posts are. Be yourself, and don't worry too much about the naysayers, because unless RU-vid sets the limit to something like 300 characters or less, you can write as long or as short as you like, within that limit. 😉👍
@@xevious2501 I thought your post was fascinating and very informative! I'm in Wisconsin and have the Fargo-type accent. In that movie the accent was exaggerated but still pretty accurate. Our accents in this part of the country are mainly rooted in the speech patterns of long-ago Scandinavian and German settlers and immigrants. But-east, west north, and south-it's all good!😀
I recall seeing Fran as a guest on the Tonight Show. An animal trainer was also on the show. The trainer brought out a goat that started bleating and Fran started to laugh in her unique way -- and the goat bleated back.
I always figured she was super nice and pleasant in real life... but the voice and laugh are totally real and a part of her!!!😯 PS she has aged REALLY WELL!
It's loosely based on her real life lol. I.e. Morty and Sylvia are her actual parents names and her real parents often appeared on the show as her uncle and aunt.
My God, she is still so beautiful. When I saw Gal Gadot, she reminded me so much of Fran. They have very similar features and are both absolutely and breathtakingly beautiful!!
Since the Nanny came out on TV years ago, I've been compared to Fran Drescher in my voice (originally came from the same place, but I have lived all over the country since my 20s -- though my accent never went away), sense of humor and in looks. Even to this day. I'm always extremely flattered, because I think Fran is a gorgeous lady, funny, down-to-earth, and seems like a genuinely nice person.
I’m honestly on like season 3 of the nanny and I just realized I really love her so much. I’m scared to finish cuz then what else do I watch lol. She even laughs the same. I love that. It’s giving the same vibes. Years later. Awww we love you
I think too many celebrities think we don't want that, but we really do. Just look like you but older and we'll be fine, really. Just look familiar, for pete's sake.
She is such a sweetheart, I hope she is also a happy person. Seems like the industry wasn’t actually that nice to her, but we all live her. I just hope she FEELs loved
I have the same voice and I’ve been made fun of for sure at work school but I learn to love myself and except myself it’s sad That being different nowadays it’s like a disease! I’m happy with my voice I don’t want to sound like the Kardashians like everyone else does nowadays!
Sweet relaxed person. Nobody’s perfect, in fact our imperfections define us as well as our qualities so, they’re all part of our identity. Very smart of her to realise it early enough.
Voices definitely can run in families. I was watching a British TV show, Midsomer Murders, and something about one actress playing a minor role made me think I'd seen her before, but couldn't recall the name. Then a name popped into my head: Annette Crosbie. But this actress didn't look anything like her. I watched the show credits carefully to find out the actress's name. It was Selina Griffiths, but I'd never heard that name before. So I looked her up on Wiki and discovered there that she was Annette Crosbie's daughter.
No. I got reccomended the Sushi. Then RU-vid decided i also wanted to watch this. I wonder what youtube will decide this indeoendent person wants to watch next?
Well, I for one didn't search for it, but it was in the recommended, when the page refreshed, after having watched the Wasabi clip. (Which was also recommended.) But my RU-vid used to have some sense to it, but since I find it harder to watch some of the people I used to watch, my RU-vid is all over the place, from watching too much random stuff. 🤣🤣🤣
oh, I've always been in love with this woman. I love this mixture of a good looking woman who pokes at herself. Far too rare in real life. and still looks great. i love fran.
I love you Fran Your nanny times I rewatched during covid and made me laugh so much You where exceptional one of a kind you still look beautiful and so natural Thank you for making covid times more happy.
She has makeup on! She doesn't have it exaggerated. NO ONE not even men get in front of a camera, on a professional level w/o make-up on. Sorry that's the industry!
I think her voice is unique and beautiful!! I have grown up listening to this iconic voice and I just love it ❤❤ Also people should learn to start embracing unique and different traits about other's! It's our differences that makes us special and interesting! We can't all be the same 😶😶😶
Fran is a truly humble, folksy (in a big city kinda way) person with no pretenses. She’s an entrancing subject for an interview with her disarming warmth, good humor, and the most beautiful smile on the planet. I’m literally all smiles while watching her in any video clip. I put her and Dolly Parton in a league of their own. Love ‘em both!
You are an adorable human being wow I wish I would have gotten the chance to meet you some form or fashion I love your personality I love who you've always been God bless you miss fine!
I loved a lot of her earlier "walk on' roles like in Saturday Night Fever, Thank God its Friday, Spinal Tap is another one that comes to mind. Really loved her on "The Nanny", and if I am not mistaken she made an appearance on Cheers at one point. Always fun to see her on screen:-)
It's the same laugh, same voice and the same warm, loving character from The Nanny that I'm not embarrassed to say, my most fave show of all time, right next to The Golden Girls and GLEE.
@@jamesgurksnis4392 I can't say Sophia is, because all four of them complete the entire dynamic of the show. Although I do admire her wisdom that still holds up until this day.
