Actress and health advocate Fran Drescher is launching a skincare line with HSN on November 10.

Drescher is best known for her starring role on "The Nanny," her signature nasal voice and perhaps soon her signature skincare products?

The line, aptly named FranBrand will be paraben-free and contain organic ingredients, and a percentage of proceeds will benefit Drescher's charity, Cancer Schmancer, reports WWD.. Drescher, a uterine cancer survivor, wouldn't have it any other way:

"Women are schmearing stuff on their décolleté, wondering why we're all getting breast cancer. Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it's hard to go back to sleep. So I'm sounding the alarm," she told The Cut.

Stay tuned.

I am in love and his name is Mr. Nature Cleanse ( http://tr.im/NatureCleanse ) ! This is by far the best cleansing product available. I saw it on Oprah and thought I would give it a try. Nature Cleanse has pretty much changed the way I live my life. My daily chores are done in a breeze and I have more energy, not to mention more time in my day since I don't mind jumping out of bed in the mornings at 7:00 am now. This is not just a cleanser. It is also a detox. I can feel it working and have only been using it for 6 weeks.

I have always liked Fran and love watching the nanny reruns. Her outfits were crazy. I have heard her speak out about cancer and agree with her beliefs that we should be eating less processed foods and more natural whole grains and lean meats and veggies. I also think she looks great and is in great shape. I think when she played the nanny she was actually too thin.

I am not a fan of going on and off diets. I feel you need to try to
change your day to day habits for best results. I tried Jenny Craig
and Nutrisystem and found that I lost weight with both but when I
stopped buying the food, I gained it all back, plus more!

What I find works best is being more aware on a day to day basis of
your calories and eating a high fiber diet.

I am a also huge fan of fitflax http://www.fitflax.com that I started
eating only for weight loss, and found it also made my skin glow and
my hair thicker and glossier. I recently lost 30 pounds by being
more aware every day of how many calories I consume and making them
worthwhile calories. I have a low fat yogurt with golden roasted
fitflax (nutty/low carb/low cal). It is a flax and chia blend and
was written about in O mag. It tastes nutty and does not need to be
ground. They also listed a code to get 10% off. The code for 10% off
is fit10.

Fitflax also tastes great mixed in oatmeal which is another great
breakfast choice.

I used to eat a bakery bran muffin in the morning and thought it was
healthy...c'mon muffin is just another word for small cake!

PLEEEAAASSEEE I know you're getting paid to spam, but enough already! I was hired by a company for disney to promote movies on websites the same way and attack chat rooms. I quit because I thought it way lying and immoral and not how I want to make a buck. REPORT SPAMMERS!!

I love Fran Dresher but, "FranBrand" ? Couldn't she think of a better name than that for her product line? I wish her much success but hope she's not just another celebrity in need of money putting her name on a product she didn't actually help develop.

Hazelton 8-01-2009 @ 9:18AM

Hey Vanessa, You talk way too much! I see you hawking this fitflax crap all over the place. Let me guess, you are a stay-at-home distributor with 30 cases of it piled up in the living room? Want to looses weight, put down the granolabars & flax chips and go for a walk!

Angela 8-01-2009 @ 9:28AM

Wow, I never thought of it that way. I guess it's not such a good idea to rub chemicals on your chest. Fran, is your product cruelty-free? Will the money fund research that is humane? I'm like you, I love animals and I'm from Flushing. I hope you're going to do the right thing. Good luck with your new venture.

lol fran looks soooo young when was the show on 10 15 years ago?Wow!!!

hhhmmmmm 8-01-2009 @ 2:19PM

I think 'The Nanny" was a big 80's show which would make it around 20 years.

Guy T 8-01-2009 @ 10:28AM

I'm behind you 100 percent, Fran.

If any of you think that a Feminine Cancer can only strike when you get somewhat older, think again. My niece, at 15 years old, was diagnosed and operated on for Ovarian Cancer. Last Summer she was at cheerleading camp and collapsed. Testing discovered it and changed her life. PLEASE, teach your CHILDREN and SHOW THEM at a young age how to eat properly. Forget the fast food, the processed meals and the calorie-empty snacks. Direct them to FRESH fruits and veggies. Vegetable and Fresh food markets (The open air kind) are everywhere. Take advantage of them. It could mean the difference between life and death. We found out the hard way.

I LOVED THAT SHOW "THE NANNY" IT WAS SAD TO SEE IT GO OFF. IT HAD ONE GREAT CAST!!!! I DON'T SEE TOO MANY OF THEM AROUND ANYMORE THOUGH. I WISH I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE ALL DOING NOW.

RE Linda and Rioleapslin - Why do these web/blog sites allow that advertising crap on. I thought comments were "supposed to be relevant to the blog entry". Don't they have the ability to delete stuff like colon cleanser advertisements? I am so sick of hearing about that crap (no pun intended, really)

lo 8-01-2009 @ 11:51AM

women are also getting cancer because they've been brainwashed into getting mammograms, which can actually cause breast cancer! a mammogram can find cancer but it cannot prevent it and repeated mammograms can even cause breast cancer. a mammogram is one of the three highest dose X-ray procedures currently being done. it is a given that damage from radiation includes cancerous changes in cells. of all the body tissues, breast cells are among those most easily damaged by radiation. breast self-examination is much less expensive than a mammogram, as reliable in detecting cancer if done consistently and thoroughly and has no potential for causing cancer. the susan komen foundation has extensive ties to the pharmaceutical industry which make millions from their cancer drugs as well as being funded by General Electric, the largest manufacturers of mammogram technology. ya gotta follow the money to see what's really going on. once again, women are being experimented on.

This is a woman who has gotten better looking, over the years. Could not stand her voice at one time, but now she is Okay with me. Fran will be 52 on September 30th.

I LOVE FRAN DRESCHER..HOWEVER, i recently saw an interview of her, and she seems, in person, to be very full of herself...she was talking about having sliced her leg open, and when the doctors asked if she wanted a plastic surgeon, she responded, "of course i do! do you even know who i am?! tell him it's fran drescher!"

also, her recent attempts to run for the recently vacated ny senate seat also indicate a certain "ego" that her alter-ego on the nanny lacked entirely.

again, i love her strength in the face of adversity (cancer, surviving a rape, etc.), but i think that her strength often comes across as arrogance; just a thought.

EileenAlanna 8-01-2009 @ 3:18PM

With all due respect...let's keep in mind she is a comedienne. I took her comments as part of her "schtick". As far as her & politics, I think a politician has to have a thick skin. Perhaps that comes off as "ego" or "arrogance", but that may help her providing she doesn't turn into Fran "D'Amato"!
