Fran Drescheris looking back at one of the most meaningful lessons she picked up early in her career—and how it unexpectedly showed up again decades later while working with Timothée Chalamet.
Appearing on Good Morning America on Thursday, December 18, to promote her upcoming film Marty Supreme, Drescher, 68, opened up about the kind of energy she’s always admired on set, crediting the late Robin Williams with shaping how she views leadership in Hollywood.
“There are some people that you work with that kind of like to be like the host of the project even though they’re the stars,” Drescher explained. “Robin Williams, may he rest in peace, was the first one I worked with that was like that.”
She went on to name Dan Aykroyd as another example of a leading man who set the tone by making everyone feel welcome, supported, and creatively energized. Watching that kind of generosity firsthand stuck with her. “I always thought, you know, when I’m a big star I want to be like that,” she said.
According to Drescher, that same instinct is alive and well in her Marty Supreme costar.
“And you know, Timmy is like that too,” she added. “Kudos to him, he’s a fine actor.”
The upcoming film marks Drescher’s turn as Chalamet’s on-screen mother, with the morning show previewing a clip of her incredible performance. Earlier this fall, Chalamet, 29, stole the spotlight at the New York Film Festival during a surprise screening of Marty Supreme, debuting a dramatically buzzed haircut that sent fans into a frenzy online.

The unexpected look—first spotted under hats and bandanas over the summer—sparked viral reactions ranging from disbelief to admiration, with many speculating the transformation is tied to his upcoming role in Dune: Messiah.
For Drescher, though, it goes beyond the hair. Chalamet carries a quality she first learned from one of Hollywood’s most beloved figures—being the kind of lead who makes everyone else feel like they belong.
