Fran Drescher onThe Nannyvirtual table read: 'We are doing this completely for the fans'

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How have you been spending your days with this whole pandemic going on?

FRAN DRESCHER:I rescued a dog just days before the world went mad.

I’m here at the beach with this dog, it’s just the two of us.

It’s a lot of great bonding and training.

She jumps on the bed and I’m okay with that.

I’m trying to keep busy!

We are doing this completely for the fans that have supported the show for all these decades.

We thought what better gift than to get together virtually from our living room to yours?

No one got paid for it.

It’s been a blessing and kept us all busy and active.

We feel like we’re accomplishing something and are very excited to deliver this present.

It made us feel so good to see each other.

If the fans get even a fraction of the uplifting experience we had, it will be worth it.

When did the first conversations start and how quickly were you all able to turn it around?

We thought some other things that were done that way with other groups didn’t have reliable sound.

We didn’t want it to be a frustrating experience.

If we had a sound glitch, we did a take two.

How often do you and the rest of the cast talk?

If this reunion wasn’t happening, would you feel comfortable reaching out?

I speak to Renee Taylor probably the most.

The kids I don’t see that much, but we’ll email each other or text each other.

Rachel Chagall and I email quite often.

I guess so, but I think that’s not really our style.

Right now we’re working on the musical.

I don’t really have a strong opinion on that.

I don’t know.

We’ve never talked about it, so I can’t really say.

What has it been like to see your character’s fashion still talked about and referenced routinely?

I’m delighted that the look of the character has become so iconic.

I think Brenda Cooper who styled and designed the show is a phenomenal talent.

I don’t think they saw my character dressing so well when they thought of the show.

I can’t look like some kind of middle-age frump.

That’s not my thing.

Are you able to truly feel and understand the impactThe Nannymade and how much people really love it?

I’m constantly experiencing how current it remains, particularly with the millennials.

I’m fluid on social media and I’m very aware of the Fran andThe Nannyaccounts.

The Nannyvirtual table read hits the Sony Pictures YouTube channel on Monday, April 6.
