The Nanny, the hit comedy that originally aired from 1993 to 1999, follows Drescher as Fran Fine, a nasal-voiced, street-wise, working-class woman from Queens who stumbles upon the opportunity to become a nanny for the three rambunctious children of wealthy, widowed Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield. With her warm heart, no-nonsense honesty and off-beat non-traditional nurturing style, Fran turns out to be the best thing that ever happens to the family...whether they realize it or not. With constant pressure from her family to get married, Nanny Fine becomes a relationship expert, and ultimately marries her boss, Mr. Sheffield.
