I don’t get it
Fran Drescher, the woman on the right, is the spokesperson for the current strike in Hollywood, where writers and actors are trying to force the studios to agree to not use AI in upcoming productions. To clarify, she’s the current head of SAG/AFTRA, which is the screen actors guild (union).
We should also add that she used to be the star of a sitcom called The Nanny in the 90s and hasn’t been heard of much since, so it was a big surprise to a lot of people (me included) when it turned out she’s been really active behind the scenes.
Yeah a lot of people mostly recognize her for her very distinctive voice and it’s not what you’d expect for a union president who’s going to strike

Here she is speaking with her normal voice

The other comment link showcases her ability to turn it off and on in a funny way but the above is relevant to the strike.
