Oh, Mr. Sheffield! Watch Fran Drescher Talk Cinderella and Going From 'Hooker' to Stepmom

The flashy girl from Flushing Fran Drescher is preparing to go all evil stepmom in Broadway's Cinderella and popped by The Today Show January 30 to chat with Matt Lauer about her new mean role and joke about how we all know her as the “hooker with the heart of gold.” The Queens born actress alludes to bringing more humor, glamour (in the vein of The Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly and Cruella de Vil) and her signature laugh to the role of Madame. Check out the video below to see the Emmy nominee admit that her character doesn’t do too much singing, that she’s got some nerves about making her Main Stem debut and how she found love with the (straight) man who invented email. Catch her in Cinderella starting February 4.
