Biography

When Francine was about 14 years old in high school, she had an obsessive crush on her algebra teacher, Mr. Feeny. She became so obsessed with him, she was in his closet cutting herself and sniffing his T-shirts. Mr. Feeny's wife found her in the closet, and called the police. Francine lied to them and said that she and Mr. Feeny were lovers. Mr. Feeny was sent to jail and committed suicide there. During the rest of high school, she was said to have been "very depressed," until she found the miracle of marijuana.

Even though she was a party girl during her college years, sleeping with Adam Ant, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, and Dexys Midnight Runners (about whom it is suggested they wrote Come on Eileen, mistaking Francine's name), she keeps her opinions mostly to herself in order to keep with Stan's conservative views. However, she does not keep her extremely intense hatred of George Clooney to herself. She hates him because he stole her spotlight in her only television appearance, which would have guaranteed her a movie career. Since then, Francine's dream has been to, at the very least, make George Clooney cry. Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard) is an English pop star, lead singer of 1980s New Wave/post-punk group Adam & the Ants and later a solo artist. ... Billy F.

Francine, then a hippie, first met her future husband Stan when he had just graduated from the CIA academy and offered a post as an operative. She had recently returned from a Burning Man festival and was trying to hitchike home, and Stan pulled over and gave her a ride. During the trip, Stan veered to avoid hitting a car and accidentally ran over a racoon. He then proceeded to put the poor creature out of its misery with his gun. This attracted Francine so much she kicked her drug addiction, renounced her hippie ways, and married Stan five months after they had met. Francine has a sister, Gwen, who has yet to appear on the show. When Stan was still oblivious to the fact that Greg Corbin and Terry Bates were gay, he suggested that he and Francine fix them up with Gwen. While Francine knows they're gay, Stan thinks her reluctance is because Gwen is "too hot" and then reminisces about her appearance at their wedding.

Personality

Although she enjoys being a housewife, once criticising Stan for locking her up without shirts to fold, as she "hates down time", as well as becoming aroused during spring cleaning, Francine occasionally yearns for something in her life more fulfilling. Sometimes this is in the form of a job - for a short while she was a successful realtor and even sold local newsreaders, Greg and Terry, the house next door to the Smith's own, achieved her dream of owning a muffin kiosk at the mall and even becoming a surgeon for a handicapped mafia. One time, she joined a group of ultra-chic local ladies who call themselves the Ladybugs by faking an affair with a valet. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...

Stan often neglects Francine, forgets their anniversary and ignores what she says. Despite this, Francine loves him and seems to be unable to cheat on him, even when the Ladybugs threatened her life she still would not sleep with another man. When Klaus, whose long-time attraction to Francine we are made well aware of, is put into the body of a handsome black man who was once in an Earth, Wind and Fire tribute band, he temporarily manages to win Francine over, however, she does resist him. Francine even offered Stan to cheat on her one time. Earth, Wind & Fire was a legendary American funk band, formed in Chicago in 1969. ...


Health

Francine has suffered great brain damage, and as such, she frequently plays a role similar to Diane Szalinski in that her brain suffers at the foolish hands of her husband. Stan once ran over her (twice) causing her brain to temporarily detach from her central nervous system. Stan also accidentally deleted the last 20 years of her memory, which he managed to restore. Francine also willfully cut her hand off when it was handcuffed by Stan in order to kill George Clooney. Her lips appear oversized from collagen implants. Francine has two birth scars, a caesarian scar from Hayley's birth, and a scar on her perineum from Steve's birth.

Age

Francine was originally 38, but she became 40 years old in the episode "Tears of a Clooney". The episode starts with her 39th birthday, she attempts to get revenge on George Clooney for a year, and the episode ends with her 40th birthday. It's unknown whether or not the other characters aged as well, except for presumably Stan (he says in one episode that she is ten months younger than he). It could also be that the final scene was a jump cut into the future. Tears of a Clooney is the Season 1 Finale of the animated series American Dad!.
