Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.

Yeah a lot of people mostly recognize her for her very distinctive voice and it’s not what you’d expect for a union president who’s going to strike

It's not her real voice. She got recognized for it, but her actual voice is very regular.

Here is her SAG-AFTRA speech: https://youtu.be/mphpgRI00js

I can still hear the nasality in her voice, but yeah she hammed it up for The Nanny. Great speech too.

She's from Flushing, NY, so that's just kind of a regional accent. Definitely played up on The Nanny.

fuck yeah! that was awesome! great speech!

I knew this would be that video before I clicked on it... In the context of that show, this was so, so funny

She also used that voice in UHF, 4 years before The Nanny.

I really think this is a much better and longer example of her real voice

Here she is speaking with her normal voice

The other comment link showcases her ability to turn it off and on in a funny way but the above is relevant to the strike.

Thanks so much for this. Really needed a good laugh this morning.
