The series created by David Crane consisted of 10 seasons and 236 episodes, which continue to be a success on TV and platforms.
Although it has been almost 20 years since the last episode premiered, Friends continues to be one of the most successful series internationally. The adventures of Rachel Green, Chandler Bing, Monica Geller, Phoebe Buffay, Joey Tribbiani and Ross Geller captivated viewers since its premiere in 1994 and HBO Max subscribers can enjoy all 10 seasons of David Crane's creation. This Sunday, one of her protagonists turned 60 and her colleagues gave her an emotional congratulations: “One of my favorite people on the planet.”
On September 22, 1994, the series Friends landed on the small screen, with David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and Courtney Cox as protagonists. After 10 seasons and 236 episodes, on May 6, 2004, the final episode was broadcast. The daily life of the six friends in Central Perk not only captivated the viewers of the production created by David Crane, it also forged close ties between the actors and actresses who had fun moments behind the cameras.
Thus, this Sunday, Lisa Kudrow turned 60 and could not miss the greeting from her two castmates, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, who dedicated an emotional message to her on social networks. “Happy birthday, my booty,” began the interpreter of Mónica Geller in fiction, along with a thread of snapshots of both, in which she included a nod to the series that forged her friendship. In the first image, they appear smiling in the foreground, while in the background you can see the living room of the apartment where the protagonists of Friends lived.
“This is my second attempt: Chat GPT didn't give you half the love I feel for you. You are the most intelligent, fun and thoughtful person. I always feel loved when I am close to you, that is the gift you give to those you love,” she closed.
A friendship that transcended the small screen
For her part, the Mystery on Board actress shared a heartfelt message of greeting for her friend, also in front of the cameras. “Join me in celebrating one of my favorite people on the planet: Lisa Kudrow!” Jennifer Aniston expressed excitedly, and she encouraged the greeting of her fans, who totaled more than 42 and a half million on Instagram.
And she noted: “She has been my friend and my family for almost 30 incredible years. I appreciate you. I love you, my sweet Floosh. One of the most talented actresses I have had the great honor of working with during all these glorious years… and more to come.”
The three actresses showed that their friendship transcended the small screen, by appearing together in different special moments. This was the case in Cox's recognition last March, when she revealed a star with her name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and imitated her fictional character, Monica Geller, obsessed with cleanliness and order, while her co-stars cast remained by his side.
