Kudrow prefers wacky characters
Kudrow moved on to her recurring role on Mad About You, in which she played the waitress who would ask customers whether they wanted cheese on their cheese-burgers.
"It just wasn't working. That whole week of rehearsal, I could just feel it slipping away." Kudrow said.
As Phoebe on Friends, Kudrow has been an almost perennial Emmy nominee, winning once.
Kudrow, 37, grew up in southern California and went to Vassar College, where she earned a biology degree. She planned to go to graduate school and become a medical researcher before abruptly switching to acting.
LOS ANGELES — Early in her career, Lisa Kudrow decided to go a bit bary and develop some loopy characters. She figured it might help cure her tendency to come across as stiff, sober and standoffish.
On the advice of Jon Lovitz, a friend of her brother who had just joined Saturday Night Live, Kudrow tried out for the Groundlings and joined the group.
The Associated Press
Kudrow does not plan to change TV roles for awhile. She and her Friends co-stars banded together to negotiate a two-year deal that gives them big raises, with each receiving an estimated $20 million a year.
"I just thought, I'm too serious, I'm too rigid and I put people off because I can't not girly, sexy, coy," Kudrow said. "I just needed to lighten things up. Whenever I would do those ditzy characters or pretend to be sort of Annie Hallish, just a little scattered or showing some vulnerability, it really helped out a lot."
"I was always told or had it suggested that I'm not fun, especially when I first graduated from college and decided I was going to be an actress," Kudrow said in an interview to promote her latest film, Lucky Numbers, which stars John Travolta and opens Friday.
Kudrow became television's reigning queen of dizziness as the scatterbrained Phoebe on Friends and the assiduously incompetent waitress Ursula on Mad About You.
She began developing a more offbeat persona, both for auditions and for the Los Angeles comedy group the Groundlings, where she got her professional start in the late 1980s.
Good move.
