Lauren Lane - Fran Drescher Show

They look gorgeous

[@drewqq]

I learned from friends at CBS that when The Nanny was cast and they had their pilot episode, the execs didn't like Lane's character and wanted her written off the show. It was Drescher who fought hard to keep her, and they invented a kind of running hatred between Lane's character and Daniel Davis' butler to keep her story line in the show. It just proves what a generous woman Drescher really is.

[@zzzroxyzzz]

drewqq her and Niles were a massive part of the success of the show, good on her for fighting for her.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

I agree they steal the show. But the writers were going for something like Shakespeare's Benedick and Beatrice - a mutual "exchange of wits" - but it always ends up seeming one-sided, Niles just bullying CC. Her line aren't as clever and he can be genuinely cruel. Hard to believe she ended up so happy sleeping with a guy who called her ugly all those years. Although, I will say, there was always a sexual charge behind the insults, and you CAN kind of tell Niles is "protesting too much."

[@AllenMQuinn]

Thank god Drescher was smart enough to do so, because Lauren and Daniel MADE the show in my opinion.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

Especially in later episodes - there would be a Niles/CC storyline that was supposed to be a sub-plot, but it jumped out at you more than the Fran-Max story, if that made any sense.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

@@scottlang7271 I think I read that Lauren grew up in Oklahoma and then went to Texas. So it's pretty impressive that she portrayed someone born and bred to New York high society. (No hint of a Southern or Texas access.)

[@MisunderstoodAlpaca]

She looks like hell, but if she lost a little weight and did something with her hair, she'd actually look pretty good.

[@frenchieseverine4514]

+Cynthia Finnegan Me too! She was a lovely woman in "The nanny "and she was as fine as Fran in a way.Fran sometimes irritated me,it was her role but i think that C.C or lauren Lane was more classy and bright and she is a very good actress.She made it and without her the Nanny wouldn't have been so funny.

[@carolynhatfield6247]

E W put your profile picture up and let us critique YOU!!

[@jeremyba5504]

I agree, too. She looks good for her 50’s.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

MisunderstoodAlpaca Wow lets look at your face.

[@raewynannrobinson5642]

C.C. (Lauren) was my favourite person in the show, her and Niles (Daniel).

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

It is interesting that the show continued for a year after Fran and Max got married, but it was the finale after Niles and CC got married. I think Niles and CC should have gotten together first and I wish Fran and Max had been inspired by them. As famous as Niles and CC are for a "love-hate" relationship, Fran and Max did a LOT of clashing, and didn't seem to work together very well. It seemed to be "physical" with them, whereas Niles and CC seem to admire things about each other beyond looks (although they cover up that they feel that way.) And I prefer the couple where the woman is rich and good with money and business and the guy does housework.

[@yellowjacketsgamer]

Cc babcock was a marvelous addition to the show, without her verbal fights with Nile it would not be that success, her evil laugh though ❤️❤️❤️

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

And I thought their personalities worked together, and there was more to them than "the physical" whereas sometimes for Fran and Max, it seemed like it was all about being physically attracted. They were so different.

[@vidyasonavane9602]

Lauren’s cc was beautiful and charming, mildly devilish with heartbroken streak

[@BretonInTokyo]

These two ladies are aging REALLY well !!! They are sooooo effing gorgeous !!!

[@curvyhippiepenguin]

I had an "ah-ha!" moment when she said that her daughter was 4 when the show ended. In season 2 C.C. had gained a lot of weight on the show but it was just to cover for her baby bump in real life. How cute!

[@mattmammone2338]

Nia I knew something was up cuz she had a healthy glow about her and they had her in clothing to hide her tummy.

[@curvyhippiepenguin]

[@moorek1967]

Nia There was a scene in one of the episodes where she was obviously pregnant and the line by Lauren Lane was "don't you just hate all those tv shows where they tried everything to cover up pregnancy" and making a commentary how they used to hide the women behind things.

[@cdubbs630]

Oh no, you don't mess with her. She's an angel and cares about all of her students on an extremely personal basis, but you learn quickly that you need to be on top of EVERYTHING in her classes. It also helps that the Theatre Department at TXST is really hardcore, everyone there is working their butts off to succeed in the business.

I wonder why none of the actors from The Nanny really went on to have big careers, besides Fran Drescher. That show is so hysterical, so perfectly acted by the entire ensemble.

[@kshinokevin]

Lane was such a great rival (as C.C.), the rich upscale snob, on the "Nanny" show for Drescher's working class character. It was so good !

Great rival with not too evil...the character that cant hate ..

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

@@fatiniliqahazarulariffin2127 It was interesting how, in some ways, she wasn't a great contrast with Fran. She wasn't all uptight, prude, or "proper" - she talked about wanting sex and tried to show off her sex appeal to Max and Niles. And, while she was often laughed at because her attraction to Max would always go un-reciprocated, she was actually more independent than Fran, in some ways, at least by season 4. She seemed to manage money and business well, and to be using that to show why she was better than Fran. She seemed to have more "to her" than the goal of getting married.

[@libertygiveme1987]

LOVE CC!!!! She was sooooooo GOOD at being BAD!!!!!

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

I like her better than Fran, just for being a smart businesswoman. Fran seemed very ditzy and incompetent a lot of the time - sit-coms often have a bumbling dad whom the mom "bails out" - often without him realizing it - but Max really did have to bail Fran out of trouble a lot of the time, especially when it came to money, and Fran even tried dishonest things with money. CC seemed to be good at business and producing - and even though we're always told she's mean, she usually got investors and celebrities interested in working with her company - and often it was Fran who drove them away. She also wasn't THAT big a contrast with Fran, in some ways...she put Fran down for how Fran dressed, but she (CC) wasn't a total prude or image-obsessed society lady...she tried to show off to Max and Niles how sexy she was. And by season 4 or so, Fran seemed needier than CC, especially with Max. I do think they in some ways mishandled her relationship with Niles...they did hint early on the the attraction, so it wasn't as out of the blue as some people think, but some parts of the progression of it were...weird.

[@ginjaababe]

She's a bad ass bitch in a good way. I mean when when you got it you got it haha
