"The actors’ strike, which will go into effect on Friday, marks a crisis point for Hollywood, which has already been rocked in recent years by the pandemic and sweeping technological shifts with the rise of streaming and the steady decline of cable television and box office returns. Hollywood writers have been on strike for months, and with actors now joining them — the first time since 1960 that both are on strike at the same time — the industry will essentially grind to a halt."
^^^ But I want to talk about Fran Drescher. I used to think she was a bimbo, a twerp. She played The Nanny, and had that, ummmm, distinctive (and grating) accent. She also had a world class, real life body. So, from high up in the cheap seats, I leapt to the conclusion that she was a bimbo. I'm happy to admit just how wrong I was. As head of the actor's union, the woman has substance. Moreover, as a woman in Hollywood "of a certain age" she has retained her natural beauty without makeup and without any obvious "work." A real woman. My hat's off to you, Fran Drescher!
