That Explains the Laugh: Nanny Star Fran Drescher Claims She Was Abducted by Aliens

Former The Nanny star, actress Fran Drescher, may have finally explained where her trademark braying laugh originated...she claims she was once abducted by aliens!

The actress, currently starring in Happily Divorced on cable network TV Land, told the incredible story in an interview for The Huffington Post, stating that her former husband, television exec Peter Marc Jacobson, was also abducted by aliens before the pair met. "Peter and I both saw [aliens] before we knew each other, doing the same thing, driving on the road with our dads," Drescher said. "We were both in junior high. A few years later, we met, and we realized that we had the same experience. I think that somehow we were programmed to meet. We both have this scar. It's the exact same scar on the exact same spot."

She insists that the aliens implanted a micro-chip in her hand, presumably to track her whereabouts throughout the cosmos. Her ex Jacobson, however, claims Drescher's scar was caused by accidentally pouring scalding water on herself, but the actress insists "That's what the aliens programmed us to think," she said. "But really, that's where the chip is."

Drescher wrote about her recent bout with uterine cancer in her bestselling memoir Cancer Schmancer. Will we see an Anne Heche style second autobiography (Call Me Crazy)  in the future from Drescher?
