Why You Rarely See Fran Drescher In Hollywood Anymore

Fran Drescher has more requirements for the films she acts in. She won't stay at a hotel with windows that don't open, and she won't do films where they shoot at night. Having an established career, she can afford to be selective when it comes to taking on roles. "I'm not trying to make it anymore," Drescher told Us Weekly. "I made it, so I can be a little more choosy about what I do because I'm not building a career. I already have one. And I'm older."

Drescher's character's importance to the movie's plot also matters when she's deciding whether or not to join a cast. If it isn't integral to the film, she won't consider it. Additionally, it has to pay well and be likely to make it to the big screens. "If it's a big commitment, I mean, the money has to be there," she explained to Us Weekly. "The project has to have its own money too. I don't wanna do a movie and it never opens, you know what I'm saying? It's a lot of work and I want it to be a legit production." She went on to explain how in the past, especially when she was starting out, she took on any role she could get her hands on, regardless of pay and likelihood of success.
