The star of The Nanny (I’m still waiting for her next sitcom) took her focus on health care and cancer (she is a uterine cancer survivor) to Capitol Hill yesterday to get Senators on board of the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010.  The bill will eliminate carcinogens and other contaminants from makeup.

The fact that they need a bill like this at all is very disturbing.

The Senators were duly wowed by the sitcom star and her passion according to the NY Times.

Go Fran!
