Serving as co-creator, writer and executive producer on The Nanny, Fran still finds outlets for her entrepreneurial spirit. She is a partner in a gourmet food line which produces Loaf n' Kisses Gourmet Croutons. "The 1988 writer's strike was the catalyst that got me started," she explains.

Nominated for an Emmy, Golden Globe Award and an American Comedy Award for her portrayal of Fran Fine, her film career continues to flourish. She starred opposite Robin Williams in the Disney feature "Jack," directed by Francis Ford Coppola and most recently the film "The Beautician and the Beast," which she co-developed.

Fran is also an accomplished writer who continues to develop projects for film and television. This year she released her first book entitled Enter Whining, a New York Times Bestseller that is a humorous look at her life and rise in Hollywood.

Born on September 30, Fran lives in Los Angeles.
