Fran Drescher Joins Timothée Chalamet in 'Marty Supreme'

The SAG-AFTRA president will play the mother of Chalamet's character in Josh Safdie's 1950s ping pong film.

Fran Drescher, known for her role in 'The Nanny,' takes on her first film role since leading a significant actors' strike.
'Marty Supreme' is directed by Josh Safdie and features an ensemble cast including Gwyneth Paltrow and Tyler, the Creator.
The film, produced by A24, is loosely based on the life of table tennis legend Marty Reisman.
Timothée Chalamet stars as a young ping pong pro in this fictional narrative set in the 1950s.
This project marks Josh Safdie's first solo directorial effort since his collaboration with his brother Benny Safdie.
