Lisa Kudrow looks back at 'Friends' golden era

Lisa Kudrow played Phoebe Buffay in Friends for a decade, and she says it was the most fulfilling chapter of her life.

“I won a lottery being on ‘Friends,’” the actress told Today, sharing that her stint at the hit sitcom opened more opportunities for her.

Despite working on multiple hit projects, Lisa said everything paled in comparison to her time at the award-winning show. "Anything else I got to do was icing," she noted.

The No Good Deeds star also suggested that robust chemistry between the co-stars was one of the reasons the series was such a big hit.

“We loved each other,” the 61-year-old added. “Going to work every day was heaven. It was too good to be true, but it really was.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Lisa looked back at her career, saying, “All I ever wanted to do was be able to support myself as an actor."

"That was the goal. Not only that, but I was working with people that I loved," she concluded.
