Lisa was born July 30th, 1963, in Encino, California. In 1993, Lisa received the role that ultimately led to her Emmy winning role as Phoebe on 'Friends'. She was cast as Ursula, the ditzy waitress on the NBC sitcom 'Mad About You'. NBC was so impressed with her performance, that they encouraged her to audition for a more substantial part on another NBC show. She tried out for the part of Roz on 'Frazier', but was turned down as the role did not suit Lisa's character. But the role of Phoebe fits Lisa like a charm, so much so that people probably think that that's how she is in real life. Phoebe Buffay is actually the twin sister of Ursula Buffay, Lisa's 'Mad About You' character, which Lisa continued to play. Her other television-series credits include a recurring role on 'Bob' and guest-starring parts on 'Cheers,' 'Coach,' 'Newhart,' 'Flying Blind' and 'Hope and Gloria.' from aclasscelebs.com |
