** Furthermore, while Fran's age being a closely guarded secret was one of the show's most famous running gags (including a line that even the CIA couldn't determine it,) one scene where Sylvia reads Fran a letter she wrote to her the day Fran was born made the comment that Kennedy was President, which was between 1961 and 1963. Creator/FranDrescher was born four years earlier than that in 1957.

** Initially the Sheffield household was supposed to be American. It was Fran Drescher's idea to make them British, that way the CultureClash wouldn't be that she was the Jewish woman in a Christian home, but the American who just happened to be Jewish, trying to find her way among a couple of Brits.

* CreatorBacklash: Creator/MadelineZima (Gracie) said in a 2013 interview that she does not look back on the show fondly, claiming it wasn't a fun experience because she was treated more like a prop than a person. She revealed her positive experiences on other sets showed her just how bad "The Nanny" set was, as she felt there was a noticeable lack of kindness and compassion. [[https://youtu.be/kQ1bVoenlgE However, in a 2019 interview, she would soften her stance]], saying "It was a wonderful learning experience... I got a firsthand master class in sitcom comedy." She also participated in a virtual read-through of the pilot with the rest of the cast in 2020.

** The show's early shift toward physical comedy was informed by many of the actors having a particular aptitude for it. Lauren Lane, for example, cited Creator/DonKnotts as a personal hero.
