Yetta Rosenberg was a fictional character on the long-running television sitcom, The Nanny. She was played by actress Ann Morgan Guilbert.

[edit] Grandma Yetta

Yetta was the sometimes dippy and frequently forgetful mother of Sylvia Fine and Fran Fine's grandmother. She lived in a retirement home, and was often visiting the Sheffield home where Fran worked as the nanny. She was often seen with a cigarette in her hand and despite her age, was a voracious smoker.

She, like her daughter, was pleased that Fran had found such rewarding work, after being fired from the bridal shop where she had worked. Yetta truly loved her granddaughter, whom she called "Frannie". Fran called her "Yettie" and the love was mutual. When Fran was giving birth, Yetta and Sylvia joined her at her bedside in a celebration of three generations of "Fine Women".

As Fran became part of the Sheffield family, so did Yetta. The widowed Yetta found love with a man named Sammy, and though was engaged, never married him. (Sammy was played by Ray Charles).

When Fran, who had finally married Maxwell Sheffield and her new family moved to California from New York, Yetta went with them. She also gained a grandmotherly bond with Maxwell's three children from his first marriage, Maggie; Brighton; and Gracie.
