Peter Marc Jacobson is an American television writer, director and producer, and actor. He is best known as the co-creator of the popular sitcom The Nanny which he created and wrote with his then wife actress Fran Drescher who was the star of the series.
Peter Marc Jacobson made his first foray into feature film production with The Beautician and the Beast (1997), a comedy about a sharp-tongued, flamboyant cosmetologist who is mistakenly hired as a teacher for a wealthy and handsome European monarch. The film starred his then-wife, Fran Drescher; the two had their greatest success with the CBS sitcom The Nanny (1993-1999), in which Drescher starred as a wisecracking gal from Queens who is, one day, selling door-to-door cosmetics and, the next day, finds herself taking care of a handsome British Broadway producer's children. Jacobson started out as an actor and won a Dramalogue Award for a Los Angeles production of Grease. He has guest starred on several television series, ranging from Murphy Brown to Beverly Hills 90210. In addition, Jacobson has also appeared in a few feature films, including Shining Through (1992) and Dangerous Love (1987).
