CINDERELLA's Fran Drescher Reveals: 'I Would Go Back to Broadway'

In an all-new interview with ET, Fran Drescher, who made her Broadway debut in 2014 as Cinderella's stepmother, 'Madame' in CINDERELLA, speaks about her charity Cancer Schmancer, which recently hosted its first Women's Health Summit in Los Angeles.

Asked if she would consider a return to the Great White Way, the 'Nanny' star replies, "I would go back to Broadway," but quickly clarifies, "but not anytime soon! It's wonderfully enriching while wholly exhausting."

Speaking on her upcoming projects, Drescher shares, "I would love to write another book. I have a TV series for myself I need to begin writing next month. I wish to develop something for me and possibly my husband that revolves around health, prevention, lifestyle and practical tips plus the Science behind it."

Speaking on her favorite episode of the long-running CBS comedy THE NANNY, the actress reveals "I like the one where Aunt Ida died and left me a mink coat," she says. "I didn't want to accept it since I wasn't wearing fur for political reasons, but my mom was completely old school about it! She was so excited her brother's daughter didn't get it but her daughter did."
