Lisa Marie Diane Kudrow is an Emmy Award- & SAG-winning
American actress best known for her role as Phoebe Buffay in the sitcom Friends.
Kudrow
was born in Encino, California to Jewish parents, Lee Kudrow & Nedra Stern,
& has one sister & two brothers: older sister Helene Marla Kudrow, &
older brothers, neurologists David Kudrow & Derrick Kudrow. After having attended
Portola Middle School in Tarzana, California, she went on to graduate from Taft
High School in Woodland Hills, California, & then later received her B.A.
from Vassar College in Biology. She is also fluent in French.
Kudrow
originally intended to follow in her father's footsteps - researching headaches.
However, she was 'discovered' & began her career as an actress. Kudrow began
her comedic career as a member of The Groundlings, joining the ranks of those
such as Will Ferrell & Janeane Garofalo. She tried out for Saturday Night
Live in 1990, but the show chose Julia Sweeney instead. She was hired to play
the role of Roz in the TV show Frasier, but was fired during the filming of the
pilot episode because producers didn't think she was right for the part. However,
one of the people working on Frasier also worked on Friends & suggested Lisa
audition for the show. Her first major television role was Ursula Buffay, the
eccentrically silly waitress on Mad About You.
Despite the previous lack of success, this role led to her starring role on Friends as Ursula's identical twin sister, Phoebe Buffay, a role for which she won the 1998 Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Ursula Buffay also appeared in a couple of episodes of Friends to explain why Kudrow was appearing on two different shows at the same time, since Ursula appeared on Mad About You in the later seasons of the show at the same time Friends had just started in which Kudrow played Phoebe. She was the most Emmy-nominated cast member of the show, totalling six nominations. She & Jennifer Aniston were the only two to win.
Her film credits include Romy & Michele's High School Reunion, Hanging Up, Marci X, Analyze This & its sequel Analyze That. She has also starred in the biopic Wonderland about the late porn star John Holmes. She has garnered critical acclaim in mostly dramatic roles for writer-director Don Roos in the films The Opposite of Sex & Happy Endings, the latter of which was written specifically for Kudrow. [citation needed]
Kudrow portrayed Valerie Cherish, the main character on the HBO original series The Comeback. The series premiered on HBO on June 5, 2005. She also served as co-creator, writer, & executive producer. The show was not renewed for another season. The show was about a has-been sitcom star trying to make a comeback in television. Ironically, Kudrow received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on The Comeback, making her the first Friends cast member to receive a major award nomination since Friends ended.
Kudrow also guest starred
in The Simpsons episode "Lard of the Dance" as Alex Whitney. In the
episode, she tells Lisa Simpson "not to be a Phoebe," referring to her
role in Friends, & that she loved the name Lisa, in reference to Kudrow's
own name. She also voiced the ghost of Christmas past in the American Dad episode
"The Best Christmas Story Never".
Kudrow used to date Conan O'Brien,
till he moved to New York to host his TV show. Since May 27th, 1995, Kudrow has
been married to Michel Stern, a French advertising executive. They have one son,
Julian Murray (born May 7, 1998). While pregnant, Phoebe also had to be pregnant
which is why the storyline of Phoebe being a surrogate for her brother's triplets
was introduced.
