Fran Drescher Takes the Hamptons

Actress, activist, and president of SAG-AFTRA Fran Drescher has always been on a mission to help others. Now, she’s heading to the Hamptons this July for her Master Class Health Summit in support of her movement, Cancer Schmancer. She catches up on her Out East plans and life these days with us!

Fran! We are so excited to hear that you’re taking the Hamptons this summer. Tell us about what you’re doing here.
I’m presenting the Fran Drescher Master Class Health Summit in support of my Cancer Schmancer movement. This all-day event has been a life-changing and highly anticipated annual event in Los Angeles. But this year, after much urging by our members, many of whom are Hamptons residents, and supporters, we’ve decided to do a summer one in the Hamptons.

You’re a born and bred New Yorker. When was the last time you were in the Hamptons?
I have many friends with homes in the Hamptons, like Anne Hearst and Jay McInerney, as well as Beth DeWoody and Dr. Gerry Curatola, so I’ve been visiting this beautiful part of New York since the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, actually worked in the shop! But in recent years with COVID, elderly parents living in Florida, my own home on the beach in Malibu as well as an apartment in Manhattan, I’m long overdue to return and very much looking forward to bringing my passion and life mission of Cancer Schmancer and our health summit program to the Hamptons on July 29th.

What are some of your favorite memories from your time Out East?
Honestly, my life is so hectic, so relaxing with friends in the privacy of their homes is my idea of heaven. The beaches are gorgeous, great walking, and village shopping is fun, but since becoming National President of SAG-AFTRA, my best times are the quiet and private ones.

Understood! Cancer Schmancer has made such a major impact on people. For those who might be learning about it for the first time, tell us its mission.
As a survivor and a thriver for 23 years now, I’ve turned my pain into purpose and lemons into lemonade with my foundation, Cancer Schmancer, and our commitment to educate, motivate, and activate people into taking control of their bodies, transform from patient into medical consumer, and live our Detox Your Home program because how you live equals how you feel.

What will the focus of this year’s summit be?
“Is Chronic Illness the New Plague?” We curate brilliant outside-the-box thinking medical doctors and authors to present a global view of health that is not only forward-thinking but also a whole new way of managing our health.
