Lisa Kudrow Debunks Phoebe Buffay Myths

0:00On April 5th, Lisa Kudrow is clearing a mits about her friend's character, Phoebe Buffet. The 62-year-old actress insists Phoebe was never stupid, just quirky and offbeat. In a recent interview magazine chat with Lily Tomman, Kudrow pushed back on old labels that stuck around from the show's early days. Back in 1994, folks kept calling Phoebe a dits for not fitting the usual mold. Kudrow remembers everyone saying they loved her, but slapping on that ditsy tag anyway. To her though, Phoebe was smart in her own free-spirited way, juggling jobs and strumming guitars as a musician. It took Kudrow time to vibe with the role at first, since it fell so far from her own personality. Over the full 10-year run, she dove into spirituality books and lightened up, letting a bit of Phoebe seep into her life. That effort paid off big. She snagged an Emmy in 1998 for best supporting actors in a comedy. Fans and critics still adore the character, and Kudrow raised about the friend's cast-like family.
