When fandoms collide. A story about Pulp and The Nanny.
So Sadie Frost is the woman in the shopping cart in Pulp's "Common People" video clip AND Sadie Frost directed this new documentary about fashion icon Twiggy AND Twiggy is awesome friends with Fran Drescher because they starred together in a TV show called "Princesses."
The show wasn't a hit, BUT Fran and Twiggy remained gal pals. AND when Fran went to visit Twiggy and her husband, Leigh Lawson, in London—who, before Twiggy, was married to Hayley Mills and stepfather to Hayley's son Crispian Mills from Kula Shaker that is where Fran came up with the amazing premise for "The Nanny" because Fran spent the days 'schlepping' Twiggy's daughter Carly all over town AND complained about her feet being sore because of new shoes and blisters which is the most Nanniest thing ever.
Both Twiggy and Leigh starred in an episode of The Nanny from Series 1 called 'Stop the Wedding, I Want to Get Off'. Twiggy played Maxwell Sheffield's sister Jocelyn Sheffield and Leigh played Jocelyn's driver, Lester. Jocelyn was supposed to be marrying her fiancé, Nigel Waters, the Duke of Salisbury, but really she was in love with her driver, Lester, and not the Duke. Fran, being Fran, was able to see this and so Jocelyn and Lester were married instead. The End.
It's actaully in my Top 5 Nanny episodes and this fandom connecting x colliding makes me giddy as. It was like fireworks of serotonin going off in my brain.
