Summary

Fran Drescher (The Nanny) is an actor, cancer survivor, and LGBTQ activist.

On this episode of YLM, Host Rachel Belle dishes with the New York native about being a gay icon, how she uses her celebrity to advocate for important causes, and why Fran was the first guest to object to sharing her last meal.

We also dig into the habits of picky eaters. Rachel talks to a woman who has never let a vegetable pass her lips, and chats with Stephanie Lucianovic, author of Suffering Succotash: A Picky Eater's Quest to Understand Why We Hate the Foods We Hate.
