Age?

[yowza]

Fran was hired in 1993, at age 36. When she and Maxwell got married, it was 1998 and she was 41.

Well, actually, Fran Drescher was 36 when the show started. Fran Fine was 29. She turned 30 a few months later, in the episode "A plot for Nanny". So, she was about 34 when she married Max.

Aheh. Just saying.

I remember that scene from "A kiss is just a Kiss". Yeah, well... I guess we'll never know exactly about their ages. I recently heard a statement by Daniel Davis that fit the "age topic". When they did the castings for Niles they were actually looking for a "much older man" (than Max). I think that Daniel wanted to point out that they originally wanted to have a father-and-son relation between Max and Niles. (That's just my interpretation of course.) But at least they chose Daniel who wasn't "that much older". So Max' and Niles' relation changed. Furthermore they casted Lauren who is way younger than Fran. But Ms. Babcock was supposed to be older than Fran Fine. So I guess that's where the confusion about the character's ages started. I think that it was also not implied that Niles and CC would have a relationship at the end of the series. I guess it just developed because the audience liked their little banters so much. Their chemistry was just right. So at least everything turned out just "Fine"! lol
