Il Fatto Quotidiano: “A nessuno importava di me, mi chiamavano la sesta di ‘Friends’. Mi sono sentita messa da parte. Non c’era alcuna visione per me, né aspettative”: Lisa Kudrow si sfoga

Lisa Kudrow – al momento impegnata per la promozione della terza e ultima stagione della serie “The Comeback“- ha ricordato in una intervista all‘Indipendent come ha vissuto sul set di un’altra serie tv cult dei successo, e che le ha dato la fama mondiale nel ruolo di Phoebe, “Friends”. L’attrice ha dichiarato che suoi colleghi Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, il compianto Matthew Perry e David Schwimmer l’hanno eclissata in popolarità mentre la serie era ancora in onda.
“A nessuno importava di me – ha detto Kudrow – Alcuni componenti della mia agenzia mi chiamavano semplicemente ‘la sesta Friends’“. Poi il successo e molti dei suoi colleghi hanno sfruttato quel successo per ottenere ruoli cinematografici di rilievo, ma Kudrow sembrava pensare che a lei fossero sfuggite le stesse opportunità: “Non c’era alcuna visione per me, né aspettative sul tipo di carriera che avrei potuto avere. C’era un continuo ‘cavolo, che fortuna che sia stata a entrare in quella serie!'”. E quindi pochi ingaggi.
Nonostante il sentimento di sottovalutazione agli esordi della sua carriera, Lisa Kudrow ha conquistato un successo duraturo anche oltre “Friends”, in particolare con la serie HBO “The Comeback”. La prima stagione è andata in onda nel 2005, appena un anno dopo la conclusione di “Friends”, mentre la seconda stagione è stata prodotta quasi un decennio dopo, nel 2014. Ora, dopo un’attesa ancora più lunga, la terza e ultima stagione torna a raccontare la storia di Valerie che continua a lottare per rilanciare la propria carriera.
La commedia, che ha debuttato su HBO il 22 marzo, è disponibile in Italia in esclusiva streaming dal 23 marzo. Gli otto episodi verranno pubblicati settimanalmente fino al finale di serie previsto per l’11 maggio.

“No one cared about me; they called me the sixth of ‘Friends.’ I felt left out. There was no vision for me, nor expectations.” – Lisa Kudrow reveals her feelings.

Lisa Kudrow – currently busy promoting the third and final season of the series “The Comeback” – recalled in an interview with “Indipendent” how she lived on the set of another hugely successful TV series, and that gave her worldwide fame in the role of Phoebe, “Friends.” The actress stated that her colleagues Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, the late Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer eclipsed her in popularity while the series was still airing.

“No one cared about me – Kudrow said – Some of the people at my agency simply called me ‘the sixth Friends’.” Then the success and many of her colleagues used that success to obtain significant film roles, but Kudrow seemed to think that opportunities had slipped away from her: “There was no vision for me, nor expectations about the type of career I could have had. There was a constant ‘how lucky she was to get into that series!’” And therefore, few jobs.

Despite the feeling of being underestimated at the beginning of her career, Lisa Kudrow has achieved lasting success beyond “Friends,” particularly with the HBO series “The Comeback.” The first season aired in 2005, just one year after the conclusion of “Friends,” while the second season was produced almost a decade later, in 2014. Now, after an even longer wait, the third and final season returns to tell the story of Valerie who continues to fight to relaunch her career.

The comedy, which debuted on HBO on March 22, is available in Italy exclusively on streaming from March 23. The eight episodes will be published weekly until the series finale scheduled for May 11.

Mike Nichols – „Wolf“ (1994)

Ein Werwolf-Film als Business-Satire, ein Erotikthriller als Midlife-Crisis-Parabel, und vor allem ein Starvehikel für Jack Nicholson, der hier weniger spielt als sich selbst zelebriert. Ich mag diesen Film, weil er ein Echo aus meinen Neunzigern ist und gerade weil er sich einer klaren Tonlage verweigert. Darin liegt seine sehr eigentümliche Freiheit. (ZDFneo, Wh.)
