How’s this for a blast from the past? “The Nanny” star Fran Drescher has sent fans of the hit 90s sitcom into a spin after sharing a snap of her posing with one of her co-stars – all grown up.
Drescher, who has been on the awards trail for her flick “Marty Supreme,” took a break from some of her regular programming to wish one of her original TV co-stars a happy birthday.
“Happy Birthday Nicholle! You are a hilarious & gorgeous actor and a beautiful person inside and out,” she shared on Instagram.
“I am proud to call you my TV daughter on ‘The Nanny!’ May this year be yours and may success, good health and happiness abound. May your talent, quirkiness & long legs get you the part of your dreams!”
Nicholle Tom played Maggie Sheffield in the popular series – the oldest child of the Sheffield clan whom Fran Fine was hired to look after.
Fans couldn’t get enough of the updated shot of the famous TV pair.
“Love this photo so much!” one fan cheered.
“You were awesome as stepmum and daughter,” another remembered.
And another added: “This picture is fabulous, ‘The Nanny’ is an amazing show.”
Meanwhile, some fans took the opportunity to try to encourage a reboot of the much-loved series.
“Never too late for a reboot,” one hinted
“Please reunite for a Nanny sequel,” another agreed.
It appears as though the 68-year-old star is currently on a birthday wishing spree.
The updated snap comes just four days after Drescher shared another shot with a different co-star from “The Nanny” – this time with actress Renee Taylor, who played Fran’s flamboyant mum Silvia Fine.
“You are one in a mil babe. I love you! You inspired me you brilliant woman you! 93 and still kickin’ ass,” she declared in her birthday message.
“The Nanny” became a massive pop-culture phenomenon during its six-season run from 1993 to 1999.
It chronicled the hilarious culture clash between a flashy cosmetics saleswoman-turned nanny from Queens and wealthy British Broadway producer, Maxwell Sheffield.
The series was created by Drescher and her ex-husband and was heavily inspired by her own life – right down to naming her hilarious on-screen parents, Sylvia and Morty.
It earned an impressive 12 Emmy nominations during its run on TV, taking home a very fitting win for Outstanding Costuming in 1995 thanks to Fran Fine’s unforgettable outfits.
