I adore Fran, she must have found the fountain of youth, she looks gorgeous and is such a special soul ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@estespimps]

She has a hyper healthy lifestyle, mentally and foodwise, I love her!!!!!

[@NellieKAdaba]

👍🏾

[@pownbnull]

Fran Drescher still looks smokin hot..😍

[@estebanrico2124]

It's called botox/plastic surgery.

[@soirese]

@@estebanrico2124 i don’t think she ever did that considering her health problems and her healthy lifestyle overall. Even if she did, her life, her choices, still gorgeous as hell

[@antotheja251]

Fran Drescher is so beautiful. How? How does she still look like this? Amazing

[@gabbym333]

Because she is kind hearted and unproblematic. Her good energy radiates outwards :)

[@antotheja251]

@@gabbym333 unproblematic?

[@Mezaph]

It's called cosmetic surgery. Look at her eyes and forehead. Botox, baby.

[@sotrue5413]

@@Mezaph At least it doesn't look like she's gone overboard with the botox like a lot of celebrities tend to do.

[@KoolioVibez]

@@sotrue5413 how do you know she had Botox? I know she eats healthy and uses skin care and she sleeps on her back to prevent wrinkles. So it could be good genes and the fact that she actually takes care of herself

[@enzmondo]

The Nanny really set the standard for modern sitcom inclusivity and storytelling. Being different wasn’t always the but of the joke. Authenticity helped catapult the show itself. I’m so glad Fran is who she is and isn’t afraid to show that to viewers.

[@coffeetea8577]

I LOVE FRAN!!! Hearing her speak just makes me relives my childhood , I've probably watched The Nanny at least 100 times and can quote every single line. She's an icon for so many of us!!

[@Igot99biasesbutseungriaint1]

I just finally bought the entire series and I've never been happier.

[@betzabethrivero9497]

Awkwafina, Fran Drescher, and Drew Barrymore TOGETHER?!! It cannot be better than that!!!

[@dennissems]

I know! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@estespimps]

We need a full interview with Fran, Drew's sensitive and thoughtful approach and Fran's candidness is a marvellous combination, so many people do not know who she is today and that is a crime to me!!!!! Drew is just the person to do it!!! please!!!!!!

[@pilargonzalez8442]

Now I am curious, Please Drew!!!

[@onedisneylover1936]

I just saw a Thumbnail for the full Interwie if your still interested

[@CaliSayna]

I tell everyone about her 🥰😍

[@icidaimon5670]

Awkwafina’s reaction to Fran Drescher was so cute

[@pinkagatepj]

Fran Drescher needs her own Queen of Queens portion of the Drew Barrymore show! Maybe a weekly segment! Love her xoxoxo

[@estespimps]

Yes, all I know is we need more Fran!

[@turuvakeli8987]

They both have those voices, i love it.

[@healthrevolution4163]

I just love Fran Drescher in all her comedy series.

[@blairwaldorf-bass8180]

Lmao how did she not know Fran was from Flushing?! It’s in the theme song! 😂😭

[@doublefeature]

for REAL, thank you. i was searching for this comment. not only is it in the theme song, it's the FIRST line of the theme song.

[@blairwaldorf-bass8180]

[@bshays21]

Can't blame her for not remembering on the spot and/or she hasn't watched the show a lot or recently.

[@okotaiofficial]

maybe she just thought it was just the character not actually her.

[@dvgtx44]

@@doublefeature Yea I’m think maybe she thought that only the character Fran fine was from flushing and not actually Fran drescher, because at the end the quotes the theme song so she is clearly familiar.

[@thevanimaduray2235]

She's really from Flushing, just like the theme song from The Nanny!!!!!!!! This made me SUPER happy 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@TheJamglam1]

OMG... Fran Drescher! She doesn't look a day older from The Nanny days. She looks amazing!!!

[@riaa-c]

Awkwa and Fran do have that same voice kind of charm. One's a bit nasal and the other one is kind of dry throat. And it works when they talk and say their punch lines and NO ONE can be like them or impersonate them even if they tried! I love em!

[@tuckermoore6934]

Awkwafina & Fran have the most distinct voices and I love that they’re widely embraced and loved for their voices

[@poopnoodle9563]

I love all 3 of these women SO MUCH 💕💕💕

[@devilundercover]

I am living for this Awkwafina has the coolest voice and Fran is iconic and so so damn gorgeous. Thank you Drew for bringing these two wonderful ladies together! ♥️♥️♥️

She also worked with a coach but then brought her voice back and im glad she did

[@raymonddigiacomo3072]

OMG How cool would it be if Fran really guest-starred as Nora's neighbor on 'Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens?!!' Fans of both would go crazy!

I stayed in Flushing when I visited NYC in 2015. I remember that place.

[@mikadocious]

Imagine these 3 in a film together!! Maybe like a tale where they’re all coworkers, Drew gets mixed up in some hollywood business and has to pose as a celebrity and brings the other two with her to help! She brings Awkwafina to help her be youthful and trendy while Fran helps with the glam and looks! And obvi it’s a roaring comedy flick.
