As ditzy guitar strummer Phoebe Buffay on Friends, Lisa Kudrow sang her way into people's hearts with absurd lines such as, "Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?" and, "Your love is like a giant pigeon crapping on my heart."
Although the show ended 19 years ago, she and her Friends co-stars are still worshipped for the laughter and joy they brought to millions of fans around the world, and Lisa is the first to admit her fame has been overwhelming at times.
One of the ways she has coped is to deliberately not notice when everyone's head swivels as she enters a room.
"I don't want to know because then, honestly, I'd never leave my house," says the actor candidly.
"I don't see it as love. It's not love. People admire, sometimes, what you do. But I know what people are like. Especially with women, it's like, 'Oh, she doesn't look that good. She's not ageing that well..."
" If getting older is on the star's mind right now, it would be no surprise. On the 30th of this month, Lisa turns 60 not that she has any plans to go under the
knife or even the needle. “I don’t know, it’s tough,” she laughs. “I’m afraid of injections and stuff. I’m just going to play older roles.
“You can’t look 30 when you’re not – there’s a line between looking like yourself and looking like a character from a Batman movie.”
