Lisa Kudrow has brought some of television’s most beloved characters to life, and in this episode of “Building Character,” the Emmy Award–winning actress reflects on the roles that shaped her career. From insisting on taking a small part on ‘Mad About You’ after being fired from ‘Frasier,’ to how that role led her to Phoebe Buffay on ‘Friends,’ Lisa revisits the instincts and risks behind her most defining performances. Here, she looks back on the iconic wardrobe and dance scene in ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion,’ performing “Smelly Cat” with Taylor Swift, working alongside Emma Stone in ‘Easy A,’ and the evolution of Valerie Cherish in ‘The Comeback.’ Watch ‘The Comeback’ on HBO Max. #LisaKudrow #TheComeback #PhoebeBuffay #Friends #BuildingCharacter #BAZAAR BAZAAR Shows: Don't miss out on the latest must-see video ►► http://bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEtoBAZAAR Fashion Flashback: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsGoWYUz-BTGahELhXju8jhOZyQpi0YyM Food Diaries: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsGoWYUz-BTEKdcc38ehj8T7liyycDo91 All About Me: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsGoWYUz-BTH_KJpLRHN9BBv3ACmb-VkE Go To Bed With Me: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsGoWYUz-BTErpE74W4dvBgavLLZ_dNe6 Read us at: https://www.harpersbazaar.com/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@harpersbazaar Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harpersbazaarus/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/harpersbazaarus Add us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Harp
