Talk:Fran Drescher

message: I notice one of the categories for Fran Drescher's page is "LGBT rights activists from the United States."  Is there such a category as "Straight rights activists from the United States?"  If so, couldn't these both be considered as "rascism?"  And if there isn't one for the "straight" or normal point of sexual orientation, shouldn't there be?  Shouldn't Wikipedia be above such rascist squabbles and not show favoritism to one bent over another?  HaarFager (talk) 10:09, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: You are rather wrong. Judaism is ALSO a religion - just not merely a religion in the sense of other faiths. It is also not just a tribe, because you CAN join; it's called "converting". Judaism is ALSO composed of many people - black, whites, Asians, middle Eastern. To say that "Judaism is composed of Jews" is just like saying "Xianity is composed of Xians"; there is NOT a "huge difference" in THAT respect - YOU should do a lot more research than you have done. But, to get back to the main point: While I, too, deplore the degradation of Judaism to a mere ethnicity, it's not something I feel can be overcome just yet (Also, "goy" is a noun, not an adjective)FlaviaR (talk) 19:10, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

text: We need List of American shows with Jewish main characters :-). And yes I find it strange that there is so very many of them. All the all-afro-american shows are also strange. BL 23:10, 19 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:28, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I love Fran's voice.  And I'm a white-bread midwesterner.  So I added a disclaimer to the comment that while maybe "most" find her voice irritating, "some" find it endearing.  65.54.155.58 02:24, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  That Voice 

message: She had a guest role on Strong Medicine who dies of cancer that sounded similar to what Dresher had.  In the show she was pushing for some medical test for it. 65.74.59.37 08:44, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I note that Drescher has become an outspoken advocate for organic (and anti-GM) due to her cancer diagnosis. I don't know if how (or IF) we can put this in but doing some back-of-the-mat calculations, Drescher's diagnosis came at age 41-43 which would put her right into the "at risk" group for uterine cancerhttp://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Cancer-of-the-uterus/Pages/Causes.aspx. She also has not had children which also puts her in a higher-risk group. She's also celebrating 17 years clear on Twitter as of a couple of days hence. Given her relatively early diagnosis (based on what we know) survival post-hysterectomy is as close to 100% as you can get from this disease. I know Wikipedia isn't a place for debate but this is something other editors might find interesting since she's using her fame to promote *both* increased awareness (which is a good thing) AND fake/junk science which is a bad one. 81.97.100.208 (talk) 15:54, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gentle reminder - this is a talkpage for improvement - not a chat forum 

message: I have given this page a much needed expansion and revision in some areas. Revised "Return to Television" section; broken up into paragraphs, added additional information about receant appearances. Added "Personal Life" section; some information in other sections was irrelevant and fitted better in this section. Revised and expanded Drescher's television filmography
References are provided in the footnotes and/or available at other mentioned Wikipedia pages.
I also think Drescher's current photograph should be replaced by one that looks slighty more professional or at least nicer.

message: I have deleted the a line from the article stating -- without source -- that she was sued and dismissed from the suit in the 1990s. Such information violates WP:BLP if it is not presented with a source. A related comment by Dennis Miller was also deleted as unsourced. Although there is speculation in a discussion thread above regarding what lawsuit might have been referenced, that's not good enough.  23skidoo (talk) 17:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: IP 24.193.73.219 has been vandalizing many musical theatre and performer's articles for months now. The IP was blocked (again) today, for 3 months. IP has developed quite a fascination with Fran Drescher, and in the last set of vandal edits, has put Drescher in several musicals, including Mary Poppins. IP also uses the hoax, non-existent musical "The Billy Murphy Show". I am placing this note here, so that when the IP comes off the block and should he or she start the vandal edits gain, it should be easy to spot: just delete, and place the appropriate warning at the vandal's talk page.JeanColumbia (talk) 00:12, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
