The Beautician and the Beast is a 1997 American romantic comedy film directed by Ken Kwapis and written by Todd Graff. It stars Fran Drescher (pictured) as a New York City beautician who is hired to tutor the children of a fictional Eastern European dictator, played by Timothy Dalton. The film takes inspiration from other stories like Beauty and the Beast, The King and I, Evita, and The Sound of Music. Produced by Drescher and Paramount Pictures, The Beautician and the Beast was Drescher's first starring role in a film. Filming took place in Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, California, and Sychrov Castle in the Czech Republic. Cliff Eidelman composed the soundtrack, which features the London Metropolitan Orchestra. Critics panned the story as more appropriate for a sitcom, and Drescher and Dalton received mixed reviews for their performances. The Beautician and the Beast was a box-office bomb, grossing roughly $11.5 million against a production budget of $16 million.

 * Comment: "was her first starring role"...I assume this refers to Drescher, but it is not clear from the sentence, so I would recommend changing "her" to "Drescher's."  Ergo Sum  01:34, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the comment. I have used your suggestion. My only concern was repeating Drescher twice in the same sentence, but it is important that the information can be clearly understood by readers by avoiding wording that could lead to potential confusion or misinterpretation.
