In the conversation, the actress noted that the attitude towards her differed from other members of the main cast. According to her, the popularity of other actors was significantly higher.
Kudrow said that among her colleagues on the series, who were Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer – she felt less noticed. This even applied to the work of agencies that were supposed to help her with roles.
Nobody cared about me. There were certain departments (of my talent agency) that just called me "the sixth friend"
The actress noted that after the success of "Friends", her colleagues were able to get new roles in films, but she did not feel the same opportunities for herself.
I had no vision and no expectations for the career I could have. There was just a thought like, "Wow, how lucky she is to be on this show"
However, despite feeling undervalued early in her career, Kudrow has since achieved sustained success outside of "Friends," including in her twice-revived HBO series "The Comeback."
