Gina Wilhelm Actress - Lisa Kudrow's Inspiration

Lisa Kudrow has revealed her inspiration for her character, Phoebe Buffay, on the long-running series "Friends."

Kudrow explains that she hard a hard time getting in touch with Phoebe's spiritual side.

"Pheobe was so spiritual and 'out there' - and I wasn't at all," Kudrow said. Instead, she turned to costar Jennifer Aniston for advice.

Aniston gave Kudrow books to read to get insight into her character.

The work paid off. Kudrow received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 1998.
