Drescher and Jacobson created their own television show, ''[[The Nanny]]'', in 1993. The show aired on [[CBS]] from 1993 to 1999, and Drescher became an instant star. In this sitcom, she played a woman named Fran Fine who casually became the nanny of Margaret ("Maggie") (played by [[Nicholle Tom]]), Brighton ("B") (played by [[Benjamin Salisbury]]), and Grace ("Gracie") Sheffield (played by [[Madeline Zima]]); with her wit and her charm, she endeared herself to their widower father: stuffy, composed, proper British gentleman and Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield ([[Charles Shaughnessy]]). She reprised her ''This is Spinal Tap'' character of Bobbi Flekman, a look-alike for her Fran Fine character, in season 5, episode 3, of ''The Nanny''. Drescher appeared in ''[[Jack (1996 film)|Jack]]'' (1996), directed by [[Francis Ford Coppola]], ''[[The Beautician and the Beast]]'' (1997) (for which she was also executive producer) and ''[[Picking Up the Pieces (film)|Picking Up the Pieces]]'' (2000) co-starring [[Woody Allen]]. She was also the voice of "Pearl" in ''[[Shark Bait (2006 film)|Shark Bait]]'' (2006).
