Lisa Kudrow Says ‘Nobody Cared About Me’
Lisa Kudrow opening up about feeling overlooked during Friends is honestly heartbreaking.
Despite becoming one of television’s most beloved stars, she said “nobody cared about me” professionally and that some people at her own agency called her “the sixth Friend.”
She also pushed back on the old idea that Phoebe was just a ditz, saying the character was never stupid, just unconventional.
That honesty is what makes Kudrow so compelling.
She gave Phoebe depth, weirdness, warmth, and emotional intelligence, and fans have always seen it.
Sometimes the most unforgettable performer in the room is the one people underestimated the most.
