I don't know who that is.

I didn't either until this thread. Fran Drescher is the current president of the screen actors guild and I assume this has something to do with the writers strike. I guess AI content like images and stories, plus their own likeness and brands, is an issue in the strike.

I'm not paying any attention to the writers strike because I haven't really consumed any new hollywood movies or tv shows in quite a while. Hollywood just isn't relevant anymore and they know it, there's just too much content online and other things to keep busy for me to care about their garbage.

Fran is quite well known for her role in The Nanny, and a pertinent scene is one where she fights not to cross a picket (strike) line, and her employer forces her across.

So a lot of us who remember this scene are all having a little extra giggle about the whole deal.

The Nanny

Thats where I know her from (getting old), but I know nothing of her during the strike (in fact, I know little about the strike, only that there is a on going strike).

I mean, if you want to post an irrelevant opinion that doesn't reflect that of the majority's, you should've gone to unpopularopinion

I think it's about the Hollywood actors' strike.
