Actress/humanitarian Angelina Jolie, who lost her mother Marcheline Bertrand to ovarian cancer earlier this year, has pledged her time and support to Fran Drescher's Cancer Schmancer Movement.
The charity strives to ensure all women's cancers are diagnosed in Stage 1, when they are most curable.
Fran told 'Access Hollywood': "Angelina's mother had ovarian cancer and did not win her battle, so she is going to lock elbows with me and we are going to do some things together."
"Detection equals survival," Drescher said in a statement. "Through education, legislation and social reform, we will not stop until the very landscape of America's womens healthcare consciousness has been replanted."
Fran says the key to beating the disease is positive thinking. She explained: "Don't mix imagination with fear - it's a deadly cocktail. Wear a rubber band and every time you start to connect the dots that aren't necessarily there, snap that wrist band and say, 'Don't mix imagination with fear.' "
