Actress Fran Drescher has won her union's election to remain president for another two-year term.
Drescher's presidency in the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists began in 2021, when she narrowly beat actor Matthew Modine, most recently of Stranger Things fame, for the position. Actress Maya Gilbert-Dunbar was her opponent, who ultimately lost when Drescher nabbed 81% of the vote.Gilbert-Dunbar ran in opposition to Drescher in an attempt to end the strike. Ballots were mailed to SAG-AFTRA members nationwide on Aug.
Gilbert-Dunbar is a television actress and writer, known for her roles on The Mentalist, Harry's Law, and Southland. She's been married to fellow actor Rockmond Dunbar going on 10 years. Fran Fine was Drescher's character in The Nanny and was also the titular nanny in the series that lasted from 1993 to 1999. While Drescher starred in the series, she was also its creator. This was her first writing credit but not her first acting credit, as she appeared in Fame, Nine to Five, and Law and Order. It would go on to win one Emmy, with Drescher receiving two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globes nomination of her own.
