Attendees of the convention will have the opportunity to meet Lane, get her autograph, and snap a photo with the actress who brought C.C. to life.

After the show ended in 1999, Lane continued to act and voice act, with appearances in “The Daily Show” and the film Gen¹³, as well as a reunion special with the cast of “The Nanny” in December 2004.
