We should also add that she used to be the star of a sitcom called The Nanny in the 90s and hasn't been heard of much since, so it was a big surprise to a lot of people (me included) when it turned out she's been really active behind the scenes.

Yeah a lot of people mostly recognize her for her very distinctive voice and it’s not what you’d expect for a union president who’s going to strike

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (5 children)

It's not her real voice. She got recognized for it, but her actual voice is very regular.

I can still hear the nasality in her voice, but yeah she hammed it up for The Nanny. Great speech too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

She's from Flushing, NY, so that's just kind of a regional accent. Definitely played up on The Nanny.

I knew this would be that video before I clicked on it... In the context of that show, this was so, so funny

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really think this is a much better and longer example of her real voice

She also used that voice in UHF, 4 years before The Nanny.

Here she is speaking with her normal voice

The other comment link showcases her ability to turn it off and on in a funny way but the above is relevant to the strike.
