Fran Drescher Fansite

Want to see celebrities at their strangest? Look at them with their dogs.

In the case of Fran Drescher, TV actress and all around funny woman with an annoying actress, the dog’s name is Esther. And boy is it an odd looking creature.

Little Esther is a chocolate Pomeranian with an unassuming face that makes it look, as one website put it, a bit like an Ewok from Star Wars. Esther is a regular on Fran Drescher’s Living With Fran sitcom show, and can often be found with Drescher parading up the red carpet at gala events.

Esther is actually a stand in for Chester, Drescher’s old Pomeranian who died in 2000. Chester appeared with Drescher on The Nanny several times, among a slew of other Hollywood TV credits.

Now, if only she’d get a dog whose name doesn’t rhyme with her own…
