Do you remember Nanny? One of the little protagonists, Grace, is completely different today: We’ll show you what she’s like!
If I told you there was once a nanny, a butler, and a Broadway impresario, what would you tell me? No, we’re not talking about a joke here, but about one of the most famous and successful series of the 90s: la Tata, in English the nanny. The American sitcom follows the events of a nanny from Frosinone who takes a job with a rich and charming man, Maxwell Sheffield, a widower who has three children.

There are many changes between the original version and the Italian version. In the original version, the protagonist Francesca Cacace is actually called Fran Fine and is not Italian, but Jewish. But aside from the stylistic and dubbing changes made to adapt the product to an Italian audience, it remains one of the funniest sitcoms of all time.
The main characters and their stories
The protagonist is undoubtedly Francesca, played by Fran Drescher, a nice thirty-year-old who has to get along with the whole Sheffield family. With her provocative clothes, heels and colorful style, she will face a thousand vicissitudes surrounded by other characters, the head of the family, her three children, the butler Nails and Mr. Sheffield’s assistant, CC Babcock.
The series accompanied a generation from 1993 to 1999 with a total of 6 seasons and 146 episodes. The success was so great that he received 11 Emmy Awards nominations and won one in the “Best Costumes” category in 1995.
