Drescher (“The Nanny”) admits she’s “a high-maintenance chick” who plays a lot of tennis, avoids dairy products and does isometric squeezes while seated in movies.

When the director yells ‘cut,’ look out
Playwright Edward Albee, whose “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” was turned into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor, is involved in more movie talks: “I recently met with an agent who tried to sell ‘Three Tall Women’ in Hollywood.
