CENTURY LIVES: Fran Drescher

This week, we are featuring episodes of Century Lives, the podcast from the Stanford Center on Longevity that shares new perspectives on aging and longevity. Their series The New Old features interviews with extraordinary people who are challenging the way we think about aging.

On today's show, host Ken Stern talks with Fran Drescher, best known as the star of the hit 1990s TV show The Nanny. After a bout with uterine cancer in her early 40s, she started Cancer Schmancer, a non-profit focused on prevention, early detection, and policy change. More recently, she took on the role of President of SAG-AFTRA, the union she’s been a member of for decades. She’s here to talk about how she has reinvented herself—and her industry—as she ages.
