“The Nanny” actress Fran Drescher brought some star power to a Tuesday City Council hearing as the SAG-AFTRA president railed against the “greed and disrespect” of film and TV honchos during Hollywood’s writers and actors strike.

Drescher, 65, testified before some of the lawmakers who sponsored a resolution in support of the 11,500 screenwriters on strike, mostly in California and New York. 

“As a kid growing up in Flushing, Queens, I dreamt about being a professional actor someday, joining the Screen Actors Guild, making a career in the craft that I enjoyed and loved so much by my god given talents,” said Drescher, pumping up her local roots as she took the mic to cheers from demonstrators outside the council chamber.

“But I never imagined that the show business that was so romanticized by the old movies of the 1930s and ’40s in 2023 would actually be led by such greed-driven and disrespectful people for [to] the performing artist,” said the actress, who spoke at a rally of showbiz talent supporters outside City Hall on Tuesday, too.

Dresher said 86% of SAG-AFTRA’s 160,000-plus members don’t earn the $26,500-a-year threshold to qualify for union-paid healthcare coverage. 

“The [Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers] has so radically changed the business model that a new structure for the contract is demanded,” she said.

“We can no longer live on the old residual model and was stonewalled when we followed the money in the new model.”

The council’s resolution called “upon the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers to engage in good faith negotiations that will result in a fair contract for all Writers Guild of America members.”

The symbolic measure passed in the Committee on Civil Service and Labor Hearing on Tuesday and is set to be voted on Thursday.

The writers strike began May 2, grinding many popular TV and streaming shows to a halt and shutting down late-night-comedy productions.

The Writers Guild of America argues that its members face “an existential crisis” as streaming services featuring shows with fewer episodes than network shows drive down pay and residuals.

The SAG-AFTRA strike began July 14, as actors called for raises to keep up with inflation and revenue sharing from streaming platforms.
