===Early career===
Drescher's first break was a small role as dancer Connie in the movie ''[[Saturday Night Fever]]'' (1977), in which she delivered the line "So, are you as good in bed as you are on the dance floor?" to [[John Travolta]]'s character. A year later, she began to gain attention in films such as ''[[American Hot Wax]]'' (1978) and ''[[Stranger in Our House|Summer of Fear]]'' (1978). She also took on a rare dramatic role in the 1981 [[Miloš Forman]] film ''[[Ragtime (film)|Ragtime]]''. During the 1980s, Drescher found success as a [[character actress]] with roles in films such as ''[[Gorp (film)|Gorp]]'' (1980), ''[[The Hollywood Knights]]'' (1980), ''[[Doctor Detroit]]'' (1983), ''[[The Big Picture (1989 film)|The Big Picture]]'' (1989), ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'' (1989), ''[[Cadillac Man]]'' (1990), and memorably in ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]'' (1984) as publicist Bobbi Flekman. She also made an appearance in a second-season episode of ''[[Who's the Boss?]]'' in 1985 as an interior decorator. She also had an appearance on ''[[Night Court]]'' as a woman with dissociative identity disorder who flips from a prude to a sexually minded woman and ends up in a hotel with Assistant District Attorney [[Dan Fielding]]. In 1990, Drescher appeared on ''[[ALF (TV series)|ALF]]'' as Roxanne, the wife of grown-up Brian, who had no clue she was a mob boss, in the episode "Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades".
