Fran Drescher pays tribute to actress Ann Morgan Guilbert, who died at 87

Fran Drescher posted multiple condolence notes on Twitter after the passing of 87-year-old actress Ann Morgan Guilbert, who played Grandma Yetta on The Nanny.

In her first post, Drescher wrote, “I feel so sad about Annie. She was brilliant as (sic) my Grandma Yetta. Such a sweet woman too.”

She followed up that post with a thank you message to Guilbert for “all the laughs."  She wrote, “May you be cracking them up in heaven.”
