Answer: "Hillcrest High"

In seasons 1 and 2, Fran referred to her old high school as "Flushing High". In later episodes the name was changed to "Hillcrest High". Hillcrest High in Queens, NY is the actual high school Fran Drescher attended with fellow comedian Ray Romano, who also guest starred on "The Nanny" in the Hillcrest High reunion episode.

2. Where was Daniel Davis, the actor who played the Sheffield's witty butler Niles, born and raised?

Answer: Little Rock, Arkansas

Although he spoke with a very convincing British accent on the show, Daniel Davis is actually a native of Arkansas! Who would've guessed?

3. The actors who appeared in recurring roles as Fran's Uncle Stanley and Aunt Rose were played by Morty and Sylvia Drescher, Fran's real parents.

Answer: True

Uncle Stanley and Aunt Rose were in fact played by Sylvia and Morty Drescher, Fran's real parents. Fran named her own character Fran Fine's parents Sylvia and Morty in honor of them.

4. Nicholle Tom, who portrayed Maggie Sheffield on the show, made a noteable guest appearance on what popular 90's television show?

Answer: "Beverly Hills, 90210"

Nicholle Tom guest starred on the hit television show "Beverly Hills, 90210" as a rebellious high school freshman who turns out to be a victim of sexual abuse. The guest spot lasted for several episodes as Nicholle continued to star in "The Nanny" as well.

5. Ivana Trump guest starred as herself in the fifth season of "The Nanny" as a woman Maxwell Sheffield has a fling with.

Answer: False

The guest star in this episode was actually Marla Maples, Donald Trump's second ex-wife. Fran became insanely jealous when she found out Maxwell once had a fling with the infamous divorcee'.

6. In the pilot episode of "The Nanny", how old was Benjamin Salisbury's character Brighton Sheffield supposed to be?

Answer: 10

In the pilot episode, Brighton Sheffield was ten years old, but after the show was picked up by CBS his age was changed to 12. If you watched the show regularly, you probably noticed there were several inconsistencies in the children's ages throughout the run of the show.

7. Lauren Lane, who portrayed Maxwell Sheffield's partner C.C. Babcock, became pregnant in real life during which season of the show?

Answer: Season 5

Lauren Lane became pregnant with her daughter Katherine during season 5 of the show. It really wouldn't have made sense for Lane's character to become pregnant on the show, so in conclusion the writers decided to work around the pregnancy. If you go back and watch episodes filmed during season 5, you will notice the crew hid her belly behind large props, tables, and oversized jackets.

8. Fran Fine's grandmother Yetta was actually modeled after Renee Taylor's real mother, Yetta Greenberg-Goldstein.

Answer: False

Yetta's character was actually modeled after Fran Drescher's real grandmother Yetta, not Renee Taylor's grandmother. Legend has it that the real Yetta was offended that the show's character Yetta had a terrible memory and lived in a nursing home. Many of the characters portrayed on the show were modeled after real people known by Fran and other cast and crew of the show.

9. The actor who played Dr. Joe Rasso, whom Sylvia Fine almost has an affair with in season 6, is actually Lauren Lane's real husband.

Answer: False

10. How many times did Rosie O'Donnell appear as a guest star on the show?

Answer: 2

Among other high profile guest stars, Rosie O'Donnell appeared twice on the show and is a good friend of Fran Drescher's as well. Fran also appeared on the cover of the first issue of O'Donnell's magazine "Rosie".
