Lisa Valerie Kudrow Wiki Biography

Lisa Valerie Kudrow was born on 30 July 1963, in Los Angeles, California USA, into the Jewish family of Nedra S. a travel agent, and Lee N. Kudrow a physician, descended from  German, Hungarian, Belarussian and Polish ancestors, and so had a Bat Mitzvah ceremony. Lisa is a comedian, voice actress, television and film producer, as well as an actress, perhaps best known for her role of Phoebe Buffay in the  popular television series created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, called “Friends”.

So just how rich is Lisa Kudrow, as of early 2018? Sources state that Lisa’s net worth is estimated to be over $80 million, most of which has come from her acting career which began in the late ’80s. In 2002, Kudrow’s annual salary for a season of “Friends” amounted to $24 million, while in 2003 Kudrow’s earnings rose to $36 million, great contributions to her bank account.

Lisa Kudrow was educated at Portola Middle School and later Taft High School. Kudrow’s professional career started when she joined an improvisational sketch troupe called “The Groundlings”, with which she performed in a variety of shows. Kudrow later joined another troupe entitled “Unexpected Company” and even tried out for a position in “Saturday Night Live”, however, she was unsuccessful.

Prior to her big breakthrough on television, Lisa Kudrow had several minor roles in such television productions as the sitcom called “Bob” with Bob Newhart, and portrayed the character of Ursula Buffay in “Mad About You” – Kudrow would later portray the role of Ursula’s sister Phoebe Buffay in “Friends”. From its debut in 1994, “Friends” maintained the status of one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. In addition to Phoebe Buffay, the show featured characters portrayed by Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. Considered to be the Best Written Series of All Time, “Friends” had high television ratings with more than 29 million viewers on average during its first season, and maintained an average of more than 20 million viewers throughout its eight season run. The cultural impact of the series is immense, as it inspired the “How I Met Your Mother” series with Josh Radnor, Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan, the creation of Central Perk franchise all around the world, and even influenced the English language, which is proven by the extensive study conducted by the University of Toronto. Over the years, “Friends” gathered a number of awards and nominations – its main stars Jennifer Aniston collected 15 awards and 36 nominations, and Lisa Kudrow received five awards and a total of 27 nominations.

Following the success of “Friends”, Lisa Kudrow went on to star in “The Simpsons”, voiced a character in “Dr. Dolittle 2” with Eddie Murphy and Raven Symone, and reunited with Courteney Cox in a television sitcom “Cougar Town”.

Lisa Kudrow also ventured to produce and write her own television series called “The Comeback”, which ran for one season of 13 episodes in 2005. She was also the producer of the American adaption of the UK television series “Who Do You Think You Are?“.

On the big screen, Lisa has appeared in such films as “Easy A”, “Happy Endings”, “Hotel for Dogs”  and “Neighbors”. More recently, in 2016 she reprised her role as Carol Gladstone in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising^“, followed by co-starring in the thriller film “The Girl on the Train”, and lending her voice to Lucille in the animated film “El Americano: The Movie”, and also Mrs Templeton in “The Boss Lady”.

Lisa Valerie Kudrow Quotes

• Yeah, “Too pretty”, right?
• Before you are famous you think, Oh, if you’re famous you’re loved and adored. Then, when you really experience that attention and everyone cares what you’re doing and wants pictures of you, it doesn’t feel like a warm hug. It really feels like an assault.
• [on working with Courteney Cox in ‘Friends’] There’s a code with actors. Actors don’t give each other notes under any circumstances. She was giving us permission to give her notes, and we all agreed that that would be great. Why not? She was the one who set that tone and made it a real group. And I thought that was a real turning point.
• To me it was like being on a roller coaster and making that climb. I spend a lot of time bracing myself for the drop. [on becoming famous]
• I started watching reality shows and being horrified at people signing up to be humiliated in front of the entire country. I saw one show, The Amazing Race (2001), in which people were eating spicy soup and vomiting and crying. Why would you do that? Also, I was fascinated by these actors and actresses who would sign up to be followed around by cameras in their life. You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy. I’ve been careful to keep my life separate because it’s important to me to have privacy and for my life not to be a marketing device for a movie or a TV show. It’s worth more than that. I’m worth more than that.
• [about Friends (1994)] It was the best experience, an unusually good one in TV. We all got along. The producers were great. It was wonderful being involved. I was extraordinarily lucky.
• [4/06] I think, on network TV, I’m still Phoebe to people and it would be hard to convince them otherwise in the bright lights of a sitcom.
• There are some issues I’m more conservative on. As a parent, I’m concerned that there are so many young, young, young kids – like 12 years old – that are starting to have sex.
• We treat sex so casually and use it for everything but what it is – which is ultimately making another human being with thoughts and feelings and rights who will grow up to be an adult.
• For me, doing Wonderland (2003) wasn’t about strategy. The story was compelling, it was written really well, I thought I understood the characters, and I just wanted to be in it. I’ve never gone wrong whenever I’ve done that, and I haven’t done that a lot of times”
