How Fran Drescher Inspired The Nanny

The Nanny exists entirely because Fran Drescher refused to ruin her London trip for a child

with sore feet. She was babysitting Twiggy's daughter who wanted to go home,

but Fran wasn't done touring. She told the kid to just step on the backs of her

expensive shoes and keep walking. That specific dynamic of a selfish but street-smart parental

figure became the pitch that sold the show instantly.
