Rosie O'Donnell says she was asked about running for SAG-AFTRA president in 2021.
She told The Wall Street Journal she didn't want to run, but suggested Fran Drescher instead.
O'Donnell thinks "The Nanny" star has a "Norma Rae-like ability to inspire."

Fran Drescher, 65, is best known as the star of the 90s sitcom "The Nanny." She's now back on the screen as the leader of the actors' union, which recently voted to go on strike to demand better pay and conditions.

It was almost another 90s comedy star.
