Angelina Jolie teams up with Fran Drescher

Fran Drescher is receiving some unexpected support for her new cancer charity- from Angelina Jolie, who lost her own mother to the disease in January. The former “Nanny” star revealed to The ENQUIRER in an exclusive interview that she and Angelina bonded as 56-year-old Marcheline Bertrand, Angelina’s mom, battled ovarian cancer.
Speaking at the launch of her “Cancer Schmancer Movement” on June 20 in New York City- and celebrating seven years of wellness after her own fight against uterine cancer- 49-year-old Fran said that Angelina had been a big crusader for the fledging organization.
“Her mother had the same oncologist as me at one point and Brad Pitt has the same publicist, so we’re very interconnected,” said Fran. “Ever since her mom died, she has been a great supporter of the foundation. She really reached out, which is wonderful.” The organization shares its name with the book Fran penned about her battle with the disease, in which she revealed she had visited eight doctors in two years before she was given a proper diagnosis for her symptoms.
Good luck to both women, this seems like an excellent team!
