Fran Drescher

Made films the shows talk about.

No film of theirs is counted: acting and studio count only when asked for, so what they drew on and who drew on them comes only from the lines with them at one end. Count them as actor (2 films) instead.

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

My Cousin Vinny (1992): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · them, directly: My Cousin Vinny ⇒ Fran Drescher (the host's read). Easy to rip off Tomei because ethnic comic performers with timing and sex appeal knew what to do with such a part.
    “there's a whole world of so-called ethnics out there who have great comic timing are really sexy”
    The Rewatchables · ‘My Cousin Vinny’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Wesley Morris · 0:48:38 · Wesley Morris (0.80 sure it was them)
