Lisa Kudrow

Lisa Kudrow is an actress best known for her role as Phoebe Buffay in the sitcom *Friends*, for which she won an Emmy in 1998. More recently, she is recognized for her work in *The Comeback*, a comedy series that premiered in 2005, a year after *Friends* ended. *The Comeback* is currently newsworthy as its third season is being released twelve years after the second. The show is being discussed for its prescience in predicting the rise of reality television and the culture of constant self-broadcasting. Kudrow's role in *The Comeback* is considered a departure from her *Friends* persona and demonstrates her range as an actress. Additionally, she recently shared the screen with her son, Julian Stern, for the first time.
