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
It's not her real voice. She got recognized for it, but her actual voice is very regular.

Here is her SAG-AFTRA speech: https://youtu.be/mphpgRI00js
I can still hear the nasality in her voice, but yeah she hammed it up for The Nanny. Great speech too.
She's from Flushing, NY, so that's just kind of a regional accent. Definitely played up on The Nanny.
fuck yeah! that was awesome! great speech!

I knew this would be that video before I clicked on it... In the context of that show, this was so, so funny
I really think this is a much better and longer example of her real voice

She also used that voice in UHF, 4 years before The Nanny.

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.
