She’s known worldwide for her nasal voice, New York accent, and starring role in the sitcom “The Nanny,” but now actress Fran Drescher has recast herself as a high-profile foreign envoy, fierce political candidate and potential TV talk show host.
Drescher was recently tapped by the Obama administration to serve as a State Department Public Diplomacy Envoy for women’s health – a post she first assumed in 2008 under President George W. Bush.
The Queens, N.Y., native says she has also been pondering a 2010 challenge to New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who was appointed to replace Hillary Clinton when she became secretary of state. But Drescher says she is still determining if and when to run for political office.
